Welcome back!

Essentially this: There are people here that can spot a shit tattoo a mile away. My first few tattoos made me proud as hell. I posted pictures here and I was told my tattoos were bad.

Good luck, keep us posted.

New topic. Figuring out what to tip….not cash.

I’m off the wall when tipping. I usually provide enough food for him and his family for a meal & leftovers. I did get him a Cheyenne Hawk tattoo machine at the Baltimore convention, and also a 2001 Ford Taurus when he needed transportation.
