> Did you turn 40 yet? My 40th is in a month. I was thinking of doing the same. We have a LOT of reputable places here, and I was going to get a tiny praying mantis or poison dart frog. But I am afraid of Hep C.

> beardyGood Morning ..Tattoos can be an incredible piece of art work to wear ...I didn't mean to scare you about the Hep "C" . The reaseon why I mentioned it though in the last post was I know of a number of people that did contact hep "C"..My brother died from Aids at 38 from a blood transfusion after a car accident. It took 8 years to kill him
There are some good tat shops out there and are very credible..I know that these artist have to use clean needles..Maybe you can pay the extra money and have them use a brand new one out of a package ,but I would want to see them open it in front of me and even watch them sterilize the ink gun in front of me too...It sounds like alot but you'll only turn forty once ..Please if you do decide to have art work done on your back there are also things that you have to do after the tattoo is done, if you would like to know more I would be willing to give you some more information..Robin
