The shop went on our second annual Employee Appreciation Retreat this past Monday and Tuesday. It was just what our overworked staff needed. 

A ton of people have been asking me where I get my inspiration from for all the tatty's I do. So I am going to try and explain it as best I can but anyone who has read one of these in the past you know it is a jumbled mess inside my head so here goes.

Today's blog will cover a very important subject - research. It will talk about how my research benefits you, the customer. I spend probably the same amount of time, if not more, researching your tattoo as I do actually tattooing it onto your body. Some of you out there maybe saying to yourself right now what the hell does research have to do with tattooing. EVERYTHING.
