@Mantis Great artwork there!

I remember recently looking through your media artwork and saying to myself, @Mantis really would make a great tattoo artist; and then I learned that you indeed have been a tattoo artist...

You have a great natural, realism focus in your work....

(So do ppl ever still ask you to do tattoos for them?)

No I sold all my tattoo equipment like 15 years ago. With my back problems I don’t think it is something I could do anymore. You have to bend over constantly to work and it is excruciating.

@Mantis I'm sure this is a very valid point about the back; hope you can cope okay with daily living.

Maybe you still occasionally come across ppl that you tattooed in the past and who still bear your artwork....?

@Mantis Must be kind of satisfying to see someone you inked up, with the colors still there on the skin
