One thing.....
that kept my friends and me out of tattoo-land was the fact that we didn't know where to go to get a tattoo. Yes, we had heard of Tattoo Parlors, but they were as distant and exotic as Opium Dens. (We would have had to go into Milwaukee and look for one.) Today there are tattoo parlors in just about every other upscale suburb that I can think of. There is one less than a mile away from my house. Not that I've been there. Yet.
