Favorite Quote

Being Part of the Chrome Gardens Family:
"I'm very happy to be a part of the Chrome Gardens team. Everyone works so well together and things run so smoothly; it's great to be around people you like every day. Plus I love the creative atmosphere, it's so different from any other jobI've had. My favorite part is getting to see the variety of ideas people come up with for body modification, whether it's a neat custom tattoo or an unusual piercing. My least favorite part is a) people who have no appreciation for talent and are only worried about finding the cheapest tattoo possible, and b) parents who get upset because we won't do any work (mostly piercings) on minors under 16, and refuse to listen to our reasons why."
