Default Tattoos

I don't have any and never been in one either.

Do they charge by the amount of ink used or difficulty or custom design or some other criteria?
So if by how much ink getting one on your butt would cost more than a little one on your finger?

I'm having lunch in Little Saigon. There is a tattoo parlor run by Samoans right next door. Debating on whether I should finally get one. Maybe a small one in some discreet place. Maybe the APC logo!

You could save money by feeding blue pollen to a thousand hornets, then sticking the target area into their hive.

The size will vary. Most people start with a small regional hive, and upgrade to a legacy hive when they have enough pollen.

Back in the good old days only sailors and prostitutes sported tattoos.

If you want to get real value get it on your face, that way everyone you meet can enjoy the "art".

Good point. Even Beavis and Butthead knew this.
