I've been tattooing over 10 years & am the state representative for the
Alliance of professional tattooists and yes I love my job!
It
allows me to express my creative side through art and
I get to talk with
my clients and try to put together the
design that they have in their heads.Challenging but fun too!
I have a soft spot for memorial tattoos
& even though sometimes
the stories
behind them can be depressing I am glad to be able to
help my clients get a piece that they can be proud of for their loved ones.
Some Tips for Memorial Tattoos |
No it doesn't have to be a cross, angel or tombstone
Incorporate
things that they liked (i.e. fishing, bingo, tools, cooking, ect.)For instance if your grandma taught you to
bake, her piece
might be cupcakes or a pie!
Use their birthstone colors in the piece
Use
a saying that they used to tell you
- Keep in mind that if you put it where people can see it they are going to
ask about it.
If you are going to use birth and death dates you must KNOW them! Don't wait
until you're at the shop and try to phone someone who knows, be prepared.
- Your tattoo is important to us. Our work is going to be on your skin forever, we want it to look
great!
- Any work done in this shop has a 30 day grace period, because sometimes, bad things
happen to good tattoos
- $10. covers the tubes, needles & touch up for 30 days after your
tattoo.
