Allright kid...I have been doin a lot of thinkin about some of the things I said to you before....I believe that I owe you an apology (even if yer dead wrong!) I'm sure you aren't a ( hate this word) scratcher I was totally wrong to even intimate you might be.I just hope ya listen to those of of who have been around the block a few more times than you...we , at least I...am not tryin to judge you or your beliefs ( even if you are dead wrong) I just wish you would really consider what damn near all of us are tryin to say....It DOES cost a LOT more money and time to do tattoos to an optimum standard...it does cost a lot of money to pay the overhead of maintaining a shop....and 14 year olds should not be tattooed by ANYONE...99% of pros are adamant about that for e reason...we have been there!!...And assholes doin shit work DO affect this our art in a VERY negative way.
So anyway I hope ya just accept my apology but more importantly that you LISTEN.....No, the majority is NOT always right....but the odds are that we are makin some sense even if you can't see it right now...YOU WILL!!
THats all dude...TAz

respect.....ok I gotta give you a long one cause .... it's you....Hell yeah I listen to you guys cause WHO BETTER TO LEARN FROM!!!!!!.......I have to respond to a few things because I feel the need. I wasnt agreeing with tattooing fourteen year olds I was only disagreeing with the idea that all 14 yr olds think alike....I have never once tattooed a 14 yr old...
And I completely understand the logic behind the pricing of tattoos and why we charge what we do.If you read back that whole post between me and Keep turned into something other than what the initial comment I made was based on and taken out of context it would look like I was talking shit about what we charge people but that wasnt it at all..I initially stated that the main reason people go to "scratchers" is because they feel that they cant afford to go to a shop..I wasnt agreeing with that reasoning but it is what it is....that is how the whole thing started ....then it turned into an arguement about why the shops charge so much when I wasnt even complaining i was just giving the answer to why people go to scratchers in the first place.....And yes sir I do see the benefit in the advice i receive from you which is why I make time every day to come on here and even if I dont post, I still read.....I fully accept your apology and I know coming from you it is sincere and I must also apologize if anything I said offended you as well.............legacy
Ok Legacy but now I hope YOU are man enough apologize to Cactus al...you said some things that NEED to be apologized for...up to you kid
what did i say to offend cactus al? nothing i said should be taken as an insult...it was all factual...Theres this long ass arguement of why 14 yr olds shouldnt get tattooed. Personally I am 50/50 on this one Although I have never tattooed someone as young as 14 I myself have had a very significant tattoo since I was 15 yrs old and I am 26 now and dont regret it one bit. So to me the theory of 14 yr olds dont know what they want and are incapable of making a big decision like that is invalid seeing as not all 14 yr olds think alike.I NEED to hear a better arguement than that in order to believe it. And it makes it hard to believe it when one of the same people who say 14 yr olds cant make up their minds is on here asking us to help HIM pick out a tattoo...And that is a fact...not an opinion...so if it is taken as an insult I apologize for not wording it right but I do not apologize for the reasoning.....
oh...and about the whole him not responding after you told him not to that also is a fact..did I mean it as an insult?...no...I was just trying to get him to answer keep...I was instigating so I apologize for that indeed.....But I still want a dang answer.....I myself cant think of one..so i am dying to hear or read one....
You STILL are not listening I am NOT saying that there are not mature 14 year olds goddammit!...I AM saying that there HAS to be an arbitrary cutoff point or the assholes who tattoo just for the dough would be tattooin 10 year olds...FUCK man this is gettin old.
Listen to what we are sayin NOT what you think we are sayin!!!!!
well there you go.....there has to be a cutoff point ..thats a logical answer........
OK...DONE!
Taz buddy you gotta understand me I dont just take someones word for it... I gotta hear reasoning behind it....to me anyone who lives their life based on what they were told by other people is a simple minded person...who is either too lazy to do research or just not capable of the work involved...so whenever i hear someone say not to do something i must hear the reasons so I can decide for myself or else I 'm just imitating someone..
Legacy you are drowning on here...reevaluate!
