Wow, that is a hell of a conversation. For every one person who puts that out for the world to see, there have to be ten more quietly carving on people in their kitchens without an ounce of safety precautions.

Great responses on that one! I hope people considering that are reading this thread.

I don't know. I may have come across as a little harsh in the last post, but I think the degree of difficulty is an excuse.....If you really want it, I mean REALLY want to tattoo, you'll do whatever it takes. The only reason I say that is I paid my dues. I worked a junk job for 40 hours,took care of my newborn son, and travelled on foot 10 miles to the tattoo shop to be apprenticed...needless to say, I was very tired. But I stuck it out. Life's always going to be difficult, so you can't use that as an excuse. I never did.
I hope I didn't offend anyone with the last comment I made. It just got to me. I deal with alot of scratcher cover-ups, so I tend to get annoyed at the subject.
