If I understand what you've written, you mean that because of the quality of work on the guy's face, you would trust his tattooist to do that type of work on your body.

Yes?

That's the old riddle of the town with two barbers. Which barber is the one to go to? The answer is "the one with the worst haircut".

I grew up outside NYC in a small Jersey town. I spent most of my Teenage years, and early 20's in the City. As a matte of fact, Jimmy and I know the same people. Some of his old friends tattoed me. I have 3, and I've seen it all. I've seen things in NYC, I mean I coudn't tell if it was a Man or Woman or Alien, There's a place called Greenwich Village in NYC. It's a freak show, so that guy, I'm not shocked, For all I know, he could be a nice guy, Who know or cares why he did that. What about Gothic's, wanna be Vampires?
What about teenagers who wear the pants falling off. Heck What about crazy men who shave with Straight razors. Those guys are sick.....!Ha.....

A good tattooist knows when another tattooist is good. If the guy had terrible tattoos on his face, I wouldn't trust his judgement on what a quality tattoo is. In this guy's case, I would.

I didnt realize that the tattoo artist(?) was born that way, I was under the impression this was his choice, my apologies.

I doubt if this was what he had in mind or had agreed to.

You have a point that we are outside the norm too. As I read just yesterday, bladewielders date got weirded out by his straights in the bathroom. But what we do is largely invisible except to the people we entrust with this knowledge. We do not get judged unless we want to be.

As for the vampires, goths, and people wearing their pants halfway down: I don't care for what they do and I would not do so myself. However, those things are not permanent. If the guy with his pants suddenly decides he no longer wants to look like that, he can pull up his pants. The kid with the face tats is pretty much screwed for life.

The saga continues:

1) The tat artist demands public apologies
2) Kimberley's lawyer tells her to stfu in public
3) Kimberley has gotten a job at 'tattoo Mike' as a hostess to talk with people, help them pick a tattoo and give them advice.

If the man buggered off for a beer....then being mad at her is just being mad at himself.

The man's an idiot. You don't take your daughter to a Tat parlour for her first tat and then bugger off to get a beer.

If my kids ever decide to get one and they want me to go with them I'd stay with them the whole time. Hell....even if they didn't want me to I would. And I'm quite opposed to tats. (everyone has their freedom offcourse but opinions are like ***holes and everyone has one and most stink. Mine says they're no good)
