When I want to get a tattoo, I don't ask for Hepatitis on the side.
Therefore, despite how well he probably drew his tat's, I'm not going to get some seemingly ex-con who keeps stray cats in his PARLOR to do my tattoo.
Who knows where the needles were from? At the last minute, my stomach suddenly started to hurt, so I changed my mind and left.
Coincidence? I think not.
i didn't get a tattoo here and i'm sure i never would. i'm not like, super obsessive about where i get tattoos, or how clean those shops are, but even i have my limits.
my limit is this: never get a tattoo at a shop which is covered in cat fur, where the pool table in the front room has been turned into a cat scratching post and where you see at least five cats roaming around - five cats who might look a little... dirty.
and i like cats, A LOT.
the old dude who runs this shop is AMAZING, though. not only did he have tons of stuff to say about the history of roswell, aliens & tourists, he also obviously really fucking liked cats, A LOT.
& that's enough for me!
