work...then I like to give them the work but different people have
different styles...so, yes to both?
Q11. Do you believe tattoos are
addictive? Why do you like getting tattooed?
A. absolutely...I love them and plan to be covered. there's the
saying that you either have 2 or allot
and I believe that's true. although I knew I was hooked after my first
one. just seeing the bright colors decorating my skin, I wanted to
have myself covered.
Q12. When would you say you like
getting tattooed the most is it at a certain time in your life or when
you get that itch to get one done.
A.
I got a fair amount in my youth, but then through one thing and
another didn't get tattooed for about 11 years. When I started back up
the desire and drive to be covered came back with a vengeance and I
plan to continue till I'm done...when ever that is.
Q13.
Any additional comments?
A.
nah, I think I'm done. Thanks for asking!
