35. My first tattoo, back in the 80's,

Oct 2025

was done with a jailhouse rig, comprised of a cassette motor, ink pen barrel, and a guitar string. Guy was fresh out of the joint. I have since had hundreds of sittings.

Many people show up at the ink shop with no definite idea, they see a drawing that looks cool, and say "I'll take that".
