hi world!
woke up late today, as usual. shammy is working on his project for art, drawing the computer room, so i'm using his computer and i think the keyboard sux! lol.
i've finally decided to get my tattoo... i can't wait. i called the tat parlour, and omg, $125/1 hr ...is that expensive? it seems like it should be, holy shit. but i only want a little one for now, so i guess it's all good.
but then,i called the tat removal MD (doctor) in los gatos to ask about the "realities of tattoos" (you know, you always see those corny shows on 60 minutes called that, lol) he said that the main reason people want their tats removed is because the artist did a horrible job, they decide they don't like the design at all anymore, etc. she also mentioned that some poor artists, don't get the depth of the ink even, and that leads to bleeding --not blood, but ink bleeding under the skin into a big ugly blob,
now, here's the scary part... she also told me that hepatitus C and aids are running rampant in teh parlours right now. she said that clean needles don't make that much of a diff, because they dip all the diff needles back into the same ink, with the infected blood on the needle of course. i'm sure this is rare and is an instance in a shitty place in like, downtown sacramento or something though. here in santa cruz, tats are the thing and everyone gets them at this place called Staircase Tattoo. none of my friends have hep or hiv, and i've been in there and it looks clean and neat. i donno though...
leave me comments if you wish.

what kind of design do you want? my backpeice was about $150, and it took three hours... I'd look around and compare not only prices but the way the shops are too.
