Getting a Tattoo - Need A Outline

[R22B]

I'm finally getting a tattoo. I've been wanting to get one ever since I was young.

After years and years of thinking of what to get, I decided for it. I want to get a tattoo honoring my brother, but in the sense that no one will know what it means except for those close to me/family/friends.

What I envision is a silhouette of a wrestler, raising one hand in the air with his headgear in it with the other next to his side... like when the ref's hold the winners hand in the air (but no ref)

I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to help a brother out and sketch up something

it'd be a good idea to have the artist who will be doing your tattoo sketch something up himself.

I have wrestled for years, that is a great idea for a tattoo. May i ask what happened to your brother?

I posted this is Sean's thread. I'm also going to post it here for your benefit. Since I'm too lazy to re-type it, I'm going to quote my BA self...

Now (although this is quite rare, it's still a possibility) sometimes the razor can nick the the skin and cause bleeding. Just because you can't see it, it doesn't mean it's not there. Then you're applying a deodorant stick over an open wound picking up bodily fluids (most likely blood). So then the next person comes in, gets shaved the same way and also gets a nick. The artist then uses the same stick of deodorant over that open wound. So there's the definate potential that the 1st person's bodily fluids will come into contact with the second person's open wound. There's a HUGE possibility of cross contamination for the next person. And I definately DO NOT want to be that "next person".

I know in NY state, the regulations for tattooing vary from county to county. In some counties they're regulated by the department of health. Unfortunately others have no regulation. Either way, you ALWAYS want to go to a shop who is up on the absolute latest and greatest ways of being safe, and keeping their clients safe.

When I worked at the shop I did in Saratoga Springs, I was the shop manager. So one of my tasks was organizing classes that I made our employees take on blood born pathogens (through the health department), OSHA classes, new convention information on the latest technology, etc. We all had to attend and pass the courses regardless of what your position at the shop was. If you were going to be around biohazard in my shop, you better ****ing know how to conduct yourself!

That's what you need to look into.

I'll get the guy to draw up something, then .

I'm going to a place that is OSHA certified.

He died in a car accident back in 2001. In the midst of him having his car accident, and then dying a few days later, I made a website... not knowing that learning HTML/using a WYSIWYG editor back then would define my life today
