|

Well, not me but my best friend, when i was 17, gave me my 1st Tat' with a home made gun. (HI GRUB!!! Contact us.  Miss ya!!) Made from a mens electric razor motor.He was pretty good too, considering what he had 2 work with. Back then i thought it was pretty cool but ive spent the last 20 yrs and many $'s getting cover-ups. STUPID  STUPID STUPID!!. Anyway, 'tis al good in the long run. If it wasn't 4 those bodgy home-jobs, i probably never would have gotten 'round 2 some of them.  Take my advice & steer clear of the home made guns.  Save up & wait 4 something u love that u wont regret when ur almost 40!  Cheers! |
