Funniest Tattoo story? This guy came in to get his first tattoo. I warned him that the stomach is a very tender area. He said he was a man and could handle the pain. Just two letters into the tattoo, he was wanting to hold his wife's hand. She said, "No, you said you're a man. You can take it!" Ha ha!

Longest tattoo project/largest tattoo: 6 hours - it's a long time to tattoo in one stretch.
