Ah I see.
We have a good studio near us - not had any ink done there myself but the
work on mates is phenomenally good - especially the black and grey linework.
Will be handing them my trade soone as I figure out whats getting done next.

Oh yes I am familiar with that. Took me till age 28 to get the first one,
the next when I was 34. Not waiting as long for the next ink. 'Tis an
addiction to be sure but at least I am bothered enough to think carefully
about what I want on my skin for the rest of my life, and who is to carry
out the task; a consideration I have tried to get across to young teens
along with piercing guidelines. I figure they might be more inclined to take
it in if the advice is offered by someone who has work done themselves.
