Megan is thinking about a 2nd tatoo Just wants to know prices

As for me, NO WAY to much of a geek. Speaking of geek, as a scientist how are we gonna ensure aseptic conditions. (autoclave etc. . .)

No need to worry. He owns his own shop and has the equipment he needs to travel. He will come with steralized needles -- you'll watch him unwrap them. He's 100% on top of it. He wears gloves and wraps the tattoo gun and all of the bottles are covered.

The more difficult part is with the artwork. He is truly an artist and likes to spend time drawing the piece. If someone wants a nice sized tattoo there will have to be some planning. He won't have easy access to a printer to reduce and enlarge. Jon can get with Tim on specifics of what he would need.

Price wise, he is standard, like $100 an hour. But he is very into his art and I've always felt like I've underpaid for the artwork Jon or I have had from him. I am pretty good at estimating his prices (nothing guaranteed) but we can talk about it next weekend when we are in Dallas.

That's a cool mom.

Get a couple of mags like Tattoo or International. It will give you ideas of at least a style you are looking for. Jon likes to give Tim a lot of freedom because Tim is so creative -- but he has to know what you are looking for.

you have no idea.

i can't remember all the times she tried to get me under the needle or get my ears pierced when i was in my early/mid teens. My dad (having 2 tats himself) would not have it though, not until i started working that she stopped bringing the subject up.

i got a new mouse today cause i was tired of the one button. and a right-click is nice to have on the mouse from time to time.
and it has the scroll wheel too and when you click it, the computer sees it as a command-click which is just great.

no its not!

i find it to be WAY too much in TOO simple a design.
that thing has like 5 different ways to click and the littlest 360 scroll ball that CAN'T scoll up and sidways at the same time. all in the same size as their regular mouse!
WAY TOO unprecise for a graphic designer if you ask me!

its one of these:


$15 and better than the $50 mighty mouse, IMO
