Since ya'll rarely travel in those circles, tattooing is one of a few places I know that you can still barter goods/services for a tattoo. Maybe you can't walk into any ol' shop & barter, but if you know someone that does tattoo, they are typically willing to.

My tattoos are probably worth $2000-$2500, but my 1st three were by a guy that was dating my cousin & I maybe spent $200-$300 on, FOR ALL THREE, which my back piece is probably worth $500-$700+. My fourth was a good friend's wife's boss. He cut me a heck of a deal. My 5th tattoo I went into a shop that a coworker recommended & paid full price. My next tattoo coming in Sept is yet to be determined where I'll get it, but I want a good shop/artist. I've got plans for another tattoo after that, but will require a specific type of artist & I'm wiling to pay to have it done right.

Some of us choose to spend their money on what makes them happy. That & tattoos are like a potato chip, you can't have just one . . .

Dare we ask what you've spent on guns/ammo/supplies?

I've got pierced ears and tattoos. Lots of them. And I OC all the time. I bet that drives some of y'all batty huh?
I'm glad times have changed. Some of y'all just sound bitter. Lighten up. Let people live their lives and be happy.

To quote some of these fellas . . .

Back in the day, my Father used to always say "do you think you were the first ones to (fill in the blank)?" as I pierced my own ear, shaved my head, grew my hair long, or whatever.

The non-conformist in me makes me want to call ya'll some ol fuddy duddies as I adjust earrings in both of my ears with my tattoos on arms/legs/back.

To me it's always funny how those of strong religious faith are quick to point out "only God can judge me", but are always quick to judge others. Hey, who said hypocrisy is only a one way street?!
