[tattood1]

i can't emphasis enough that the equipment & techniques are very different now & therefore the life span of a tattoo is better.

to me a good tattoo is a 3 part thing; good equipment, competent tattoo artist & good after care.

also i think it can be misleading to look at your friends tattoos etc. some people have bad taste & the artist just made $$ not art. my hubby is a good example he's got some gawd awful stuff when he was young he thought was good till he was educated by moi. tina
