Ok… My fiance’s little brother… Hes 17 years old now and has pretty much always been in trouble. Always had an attitude, been in fights, arguements, all that stuff. Well, i’m giving him a ride to one of his buddies houses the other day, and he starts tellin me how he’s giving tattoos. This is also the kid who told me a couple years ago he took 13 shots of vodka and didnt even feel it… so i know he has the tendency to lie/exaggerate.

I never thought twice about it, so i never said anything to my girl about it… just pretty much forgot about it. Well a couple days later, my girl comes in and says “TYLER HAS SHEDTOWN DOTS ON HIS HAND!” Shedtown is pretty much the low-end of town for white people, and not to far from where my girl and her family live. Shedtown dots are 5 dots like a 5 on a dice on the webbing of your thumb and first finger…

Well,i guess a few days letter his mom goes in his room, finds tattoo needles, ink, water bottles, the soap… i think green soap or whatever it is called, the whole nine. So needless to say he has been givin tattoos out of his room. She confiscated all his supplies, of course.

My thing is… this kid doesnt have a real bright lookin future. he’s not doing very good in school, he could do better but hes always getting suspended or kicked out of classes. So i think tattooing could help him straighten his lfie out, give him a vent, and maybe give him something to work for, a goal in life. So i jsut didnt know what someone would have to do to get started tatooing the RIGHT way. Like, what could i do for him, or tell him to do to maybe turn this into something he can make a positive rather than a negative.

Thanks
