Back In Time
by Joe Molinaro, Underground Tattoo In our last article, we talked about a “sleeve” construction, and we WERE going to discuss this further….but, I think we need to go back to the beginning. “Introduction: You and Your Artist -101”. I had a situation happen the other day I have to share. Approximately 10:00 am my shop door opens and in comes two young ladies, approximately 25 years old with wide eyes and drawings in their hands! Exxxcellent!! I love it already! We do our introductions and so the process begins. “My name is “Lanolin”, and I would like to get this piece on my shoulder”. (Her name has been changed, to protect the innocent!) I say, “Great”. I ask, “How Big?” Lanolin says, “5-6 inches.” I say, “Cool”. I ask, “Any color?” She says, “Yes!” We’re off to a great start! A few minutes tick by…..I return with a price. I say “$200.00 for redoing the art and tattoo!” (Keeping in mind this is a really good price for clean, safe, professional artwork!) The next takes place word for word!! I’m not kidding! Really! Lanolin looks at me distraught and says, “Wow! That’s-likesuch-a-high-price! I got this one from someone else, and I know it looks like crap, but only paid $50.00 bucks for it!” She then turns around and proved to me this was not a lie! It did look terrible (shaky

lines, terrible color, crooked placement, scarring and so on!) At this point our introduction was basically over. The problem in the equation is simple yet devastating! Price over quality for something that will be permanently placed “into” your body does not make for a smart decision. It’s ok to be budget oriented in today’s world, but I’ll rephrase something that I read a long time ago! “A great tattoo is not cheap and a cheap tattoo is not going to be great!” Remember, Think B 4 U Ink. ™ P
