Tyler came in for his first tat.  I don’t do a lot of first tats these days, but I tattooed his father ~15 years ago and he told his son he needed to get work from me.  Tyler was easy going and easy to tat, and I am grateful he cared enough to want a tattoo from me and trust an old guy to do it.  I sometimes still feel like that fledgling tattooer who is enthralled in the beginnings of tattoo practice and knowledge, soaking in the excitement of a new era of tattooing.   I hope many of you get similar feelings when tattooing.  Enjoy your new tattoo, Tyler!
