Seth and all, I mean, Ive seen some lady had a chain of penises done around her neck, which looked kinda cool, but I guess I'm asking what is the most awful design you were ever asked to do, did u do it, and was it a guy or a chick?

And have u lost count of the Taz tats u have done?

hmmm.. tough one.
to me, awful tattoos are only awful due to the person that they are on. i really dont care what a person wants if they are easy to deal with.

some jobs are a total pain in the ass, some are what i would think is stupid.. but i thank whatever invisible man in the sky that some people believe in, that certain dumb shit is not on me, nor can i see it from my house.

i have one client who thinks he is a piece of furniture, and he gets little tattoos of wodden inlay designs on random spots on his body. the dude is completely insane. as an appraiser for "the antiques road show" he's always on TV, usually public television, but he really thinks he famous... and furniture. total kook and pain in the ass to deal with.

then you have the cute young college girl who wants a kanji (oriental calligraphy character) on her stomach... you know its a bad idea, but you do it anyway because it's your job.

the steakhead jock who wants tribal on his lower back.

the ghetto thug who wants his baby momma name on his ahwm for 10 dollars. you tell him it's up to 8 letters for 60 bucks, and they reply "but i only gots 5 lettas in muh name"

the "my friend can do it for cheaper in his house" guy


sooo many more.. i dont even want to think about it...


i guess i'm one of the lucky ones who has managed to get away from that end of the business, and work by appointment only on stuff that i choose to do. it really isnt paying as well, but i'm way happier.

Interesting...I don't know if I have the people skills to deal with the variety of folks that come in, and the guy who thinks he's furniture, hmm, ...weird-O...

Have you ever had someone ask to have their tongue tattooed? I've seen some odd regions of the body done...

I think ankle tats look pretty bad on girls, looks like dirt or something other than art!

@Seth
My fiancee is taking off for Germany this Summer and Im going to be left sitting here doing nothing. I thought "Wow, what a perfect time to drive to Baltimore and get that ink from Seth!!!". So hopefully (if I dont get inot anymore car wrecks, fights, holy wars, etc. I can make it up and finally get some ink done by a non KY artist.

Hmm. I'll keep that in mind, IRT.

I've got two years until my next one though.

I have decided to only get one every 10 years, otherwise I'd be covered, which I don't really want to be. I cheated and got one to count for my 10 year ink, but I made sure that it was something that I would have found cool even then. I like the fact that I've got all the time in the world to consider what to do next, so if the attraction of something fades in a year, that's fine. I probably contemplated both of mine for a couple of years apiece.


Edit-->More stories!

oh no - is it the blonde headed guy that has a twin brother ? I always make my girl watch that show with me and she says that guy 'makes her queasy' when he gets excited about old chairs and shit.

wait - god bless the internet ! This must be Mr. Woody, J Michael Flanigan -
