| Best Tattoo Shop in town |
Question:
I am looking for information of the tattoo shops around the triangle. I
just did a yahoo yellow pages ad search from internet, and it looks there about 15
shops around now.
I am going to get a large tribal, so somewhere that specializes or
does a lot of those would be ideal.
Answer:
-Somehow a panorama of the Battle of Little Big Horn springs to mind.
My son was happy with Warlock's http://www.warlocks-tattoo.com/
on Western Blvd., and they (both shoulder blades) were done by Ernie.
Then again, I hear great things about Blue Flame (Hillsborough St). You can see that at:

Seriously, I hope that folks considering tattoos think about how they're
perceived by the general public and PARTICULARLY by employers. Personally,
I'd never hire a person with a visible tattoo, and if I knew that they had a
concealed one, would be darned persnickety.
I recall the apocryphal story that the nazis used tattooed skins for
lampshades. I wonder if that has anything to do with the fashion nowadays just
before the third holocaust.
Personally I always kind of liked kissing along towards one of my favorite
spots on some beautiful lady and coming across a little decoration.
Of course Marylin understated it with a simple beauty spot. The sophisticates
call that elegance.
-IMHO any permanent body alteration for "looks" is ridiculous and the
sign of a person with impaired judgment. You specifically mentioned
piercing, and that might be a special issue. As I understand it, pierced
skin can be encouraged to heal up or will even do it spontaneously if not
held open by an object. In that case, I guess pierced ears are OK on women,
but a sign of some internal flaw or weakness on men.
Back in the days of high school, our son occasionally mentioned that he
might get an ear pierced. I told him that it was his decision, but that if
I caught him with an earring, I'd remove it without anesthetic and without
taking the back off. He got the point. Later, when he went off to
college, he and his cousin decided to have their ears pierced, splitting the
cost of a single pair of earrings. He wore it home one weekend, and was
quite disappointed when I failed to get angry. I told him that he was older
now, and that if he wanted to go around looking like an idiot, it was up to
him. I also suggested that he dye his hair purple and get a tattoo.
He was quite disappointed in me for not getting angry and having a stroke;
within a few weeks the earring was removed. The hole healed and the whole
thing is just a footnote in our family's history.
