Oh and folks, two fantastic products for covering up are TatJacket and Tat2X. They make various sizes and colors of sheaths made to pull on and cover up ink. Beats the heck out of always wearing long sleeves and long pants. I swear I don't work for ...
Jeez, Ruby. You sound like you're 92. Honestly? You're that old fashioned and stuck up about tattoos? My mom and I got matching tattoos 2 years ago and she is in her 70s. She has over a dozen pieces on her that all look fantastic. I have 8. And my ...

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but no, it doesn't always get better for everyone. After 8 years of misery I have decided to take a long break and explore other professions. I have had 4 jobs during this time and only one wasn't INSANE. Literally everyw...
