...but for the love of fuck, stopping getting them fucking done in your or someone else's fucking house?
Are you fucking retarded? Hepatitis, staph, and strep infections are no fucking joke. They can kill you. If they're not in a licensed shop, doing legitimate work, there's a reason. Usually they fucking suck. I see it all over fubar, myspace, facebook. Tattoos that look like shit because the "client" let a homey's homey do the job.
I know I shouldn't complain since I end up doing the coverup on ass quality work and that means job security but when I see a gorgeous chick with a tattoo with weak and shaky lines, flat and weakly saturated color, it just breaks my heart.
It's your fucking body and all and you can do with it what you want, but how about a little research into what you're doing.
