ok.
im gonna add to this one Geoff
When I was like 19 or so I was always hanging around my friend's brother's tattoo shop. it was in a shitty neighborhood in southwest philly. he used to get crackheads, hookers and everyother kinda idiot coming in. tons of black people wanting the dumbest crap tattooed on them. one day dude decides to have a lil joke. he draws up a bunch of "afro centric flash". stuff like thug life, guns, pit bulls, brown sugar. you name a stupid stereotype, he covered it. he put it by the front door. this joke became permenant because these locals weree constantly wanting this shit tattooes on them foreal. if i had a nickel for every "north philly" in old english letters that got atattooed across someones abdomen in that place, i'd have my credit card paid off.....true story.

What shop do you work in Geoff? Is it right in Philly?
Did those 2 girls end up getting tattooed? What did they get?

i had a few friends that worked at south street tattoo back in the mid-90s, so i used to spend a lot of time there. craziest shit. like you two said, with the wantin' rediculous tattoos, to the shop chicks so high on smack they'd fall asleep talkin' to customers, to the crack head bazaar, it was amazing. i got my first laptop in 1995 from a crackhead for $50.
