The Key to a Mother's Heart
"So I wanted my first to mean something to me, and there is nothing in the world that means more to me than my 2 boys. So I decided to get a tat that signified them being the key to my heart. I couldn't be happier! Oh and in case you can't tell I got it on my leg." - x2boyzmommy

Vacuum Autoclaves?
"I'm getting my first tattoo soon and I've just been into a studio to have a look around. When I asked about the autoclave the bloke told me they use a "vacuum autoclave", not a steam one. does this make any difference, does anyone know? Is it still safe??" - impimpom

Forgot to Tip!
I just went in and got my first tattoo done yesterday and when they tried to run my credit card their machine broke. After trying to get it to work for a while they finally decided to just have me write a check. So in the midst of all that was going on I quickly wrote them a check and left. I completely forgot the tip. I feel horrible, the guy did a great job and I love my tat. What should I do?" - x2boyzmommy

Just go back and get another one and leave a big tip this time. When you find a good artist stick to them it is the way to go.
