Not that I have one, but the process used to involve separate sessions for some inks and patterns. Imagine the one-session advertisement is for "the children" to get their parent-spiting tattoos on impulse.
Boys behind bars really love "doing" each other. We won't let 'em have pens, only pencils.
I asked about that, since I live around the corner from one of Tattoo Charlie's fine establishments. A boy that lived a couple doors down worked there, I didn't go to the place to asked. He said it was a marketing thing. It gets peoples attention. And, obviously, it does.
Ahem! Surely you've got to modify that statement with something to show some selectivity of population? Otherwise ya gotta include people like Hillary Clinton or Bill Hastert ... O_o
Thanks MJ, that explains it. You know what though, thats kind of silly in this day and age do you think? DIY should have a look at American Chopper over at Discovery channel if they think a hosts' tats would be a problem! LOL
I think a great invention would be tattoo ink which automatically fades after a period of time. I bet a lot more people would get tattoos.
Or what about ink which reacts with a certain chemical so you could take a pill to make the tat show or hide for a period of time? You could get the "nearly permanent tattoo" which disappears for 24 hours when you take a pill (for those wedding photos!), or a "nearly invisible tattoo" which only *appears* for 24 hours when you take a pill, for those weekend hog rides!
Actually, there is a 'photographic' process where a solution is applied to skin, a negative placed over the solution and then exposed to light. After an appropriate amount of time (up to several hours of sunlight) the negative is removed and a fixer applied.
It's only skin deep so as the skin wears off the ... Print?? ... fades. IIRC fading takes several weeks.
BTW, this process would work on wood.
I have considered this form of skin art.
I've been thinking of a tattoo for about a quarter century, way before they became trendy. In the beginning I couldn't find or think of anything that properly defined 'me', then I realized I never would because I was growing and changing. Why would I want something that defined 'Me' at 25 to continue defining me until my grave? If every time I grew and changed I got another tat I would have ran out of skin long ago.
If I had gone to the Marines instead of the Air Force it would have been easy. Though I'm no longer an Airman had I been a Marine I would still be a Marine. The U.S.M.C. tat would have popped the skin art cherry.
Don't be dissing Paul Sr, Paulie, Vinnie, and Michael now (well go ahead, on Michael) ... I am not a metal worker, or even have much interest in it, but that show is one of the best "shop" programs on TV. The fabricating that they do is impressive .. not to mention some of that big old iron is righteous.
IMO, except for Wood Works, beats the hell outta anything on DIY
The "Milwaukee Iron" show may even have been better ... but I only caught it once during a marathon.
