Shop Dinner

Shop dinner with this bunch. Welcoming in the new blood and sharing great stories. It was also our last shop dinner with Pappy. We wish him the best of luck out there in San Diego and we will surely miss having him around.

Here’s a funny and pretty accurate list of things not to do when getting a tattoo. Enjoy!

“Whenever I go into a situation outside my house, I am very conscious of trying NOT to be a douche bag. This includes going to bars and not being “that guy” who asks how much their tab is after every drink. And of course, it includes being aware of things that tattoo artists hate. Sure, for most of us, it seems pretty easy to not piss off someone who is going to be providing us with a service, but if you have no idea of what the code of etiquette is, then you run the risk of pissing off someone who is giving you a drink or putting a permanent piece of art on your body.

Tattoo artists are not servants; they are skilled professionals who deserve your respect, money, and gratitude. They are here to do a job, which is hard on its own. Add in the antics they have to deal with on the regular, and we just may have found the most difficult profession on the planet. After all, if your tattoo is on fleek, then you’ll probably want to be able to come back to the same artist for more. Don’t expect to be welcomed back if you act like an A-hole. ”

How Tattoos Might Affect Your Workout

“The body recognizes these injections as abnormal. They have slightly damaged the tissue and left behind a foreign substance, the ink. So the immune system gears up, sending a variety of cells to the site of the inking. Some cells carry off tiny amounts of the ink, primarily to the lymph nodes, where it dissipates. Other immune cells merge with the remaining ink, so that both become long-term residents of that portion of the skin. Still other cells initiate an inflammatory response, helping the injured tissue to mend, which it usually does within a few weeks.”
