@Taken Thanks for your poll vote and comment. I guess some portfolios - whether viewed online or in parlors - demonstrate undeniably amazing skill and artwork, right? - even if the skin medium is not your preference.

Hi @Cookie You said you're from Toronto. So do you know any of the Toronto parlors? some of the artists are really top class. (Interesting avatar photo you have!)

@RainAndIceCream Yes, I can see that perspective also....

@Cookie Good thread. I do love John's First Epistle.

@Rita Police training is another aspect, all intertwined. A year or two ago in Utah an emotional police officer was caught on camera arresting a nurse - who was calm and composed - in a hospital because she wouldn't give a blood sample to him without a warrant of someone who had been in an...
