Every Mother's Nightmare Tattoos: Happy Fucking 2008 !!!!

It's a new year . Time really flies... It's our third month here at 555 and things couldn't be any better , judging by how people are beggining to hear of us and the walk-ins we're getting , it's way better than i expected and in such a short time . Like just the other day , we had a guy who came by after he found our blog and decided to choose us to tattoo him and his girlfriend... let me just say that this guy really did his homework when it came to choosing a design and the shop where he would get inked and he was not disappointed . Then again i'm just assuming from the list of tattoo shops and pictures he had in this clear folder that he brought and the way he was very sure of what he wanted .don't see that very often. I'm impressed.

Just last night , i was talking to this Former 98.7 DJ and he said that he always wanted a tattoo but it has to mean something to him.Well though everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, here's the thing . It's not dumb or a bad thing to get a tattoo that doesn't have a deeper meaning to it like those over-exaggerated stories on Miami Ink ...even if it's just for the design , that's sweet... but most importantly make sure that you're sure... impulse and tattoos don't go hand-in-hand,trust me. i've gotten a few.it's kind of like errrr... beer and strawberry milk...Argh... you know what i mean

But still once in a while , we do get people who come in to the shop and try to bargain the price of the tattoo , this is even before they've seen our port folios and stuff and comparing our charges ( which are way below the market rate by the way ) with badly done leg pieces or arm pieces they've gotten from else where . Please understand. It's quality over quantity. It's that simple and if that's too hard to understand ... KINDLY TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSE WHERE.NOT INTERESTED. Other than that , the clients we've gotten so far are really appreciative and have been really nice and that's really encouraging for us in our narrow-minded country. So here's to you guys, Thank you... And A very happy new year . P.S. I've loaded a bunch of new photos .. cheers- Ian Francis
