as for the comments about religion....... it is between a person and God what they have to answer for when their time is up i do not remember ever being taught that Jesus or God said NO TATTOOS keep A firm grip on YOUR OWN reality and let poeple answer for themselves to God not You Carmen when did you become Gods Tattoo expert? People dont defend yourself to a ranting lunatic and do what you believe what is right, remember only you answer to God not someone else

all we are trying to do by getting this story to the public is to protect people from an ignorance about tattoos in a non licensed place of business. I'm sure not all 100% OF HOME MADE TATTOOS RESULT IN INFECTIONS OR DISEASES, but the ones that do are not right. people should do their homework before having an invasive procedure on their body, and the state health board should do their job by protecting those of us who are licensed from being the only ones they question when the infection rate go up in a particular part of the state. be smart people save your money and get your tattoo done by a professional in a licensed shop!!!!!

people see me and think i have alot since im wearing heavy metal shirts have long hair. but i am tattoo free. dont need one. dont care about them.

i love my tats :)

According to the Orthodox Christians any relgious icons are graven images. So do you go to a church that doesn't have a crucifix in it? While we're at it, do you have an image of Jesus Christ in your house or the Virgin Mary? I thought so...According to your relgion he is without sin cast the first stone. I'm a Buddhist personally so your concept of hell is MUCH different from mine. We have 3 of them so pick one, I'm living a decent life according to our guildlines so hopefully I don't end up there. Tattooing my body isn't going to put me there, if I were to put myself down to your level Carmen just might so I won't. Have a peaceful day.

Tattoos are the "devil's marks" PUH LEASE. Are people living in the past or what? When you're dead, your flesh rots off, the tattoo is gone. Assuming there is a heaven or hell to go to, I doubt you'd show up with your body either. I'm just sayin'.

I will see you there

No, the Devil wouldn't like that tattoo but God won't like it either. That is a graven image and when you show up wearing it,God will send you to Hell.

and by the way the devil wouldn't like my tattoo of the Virgin Mary saying to pray for us.

he already has carmen I had to read your crappy post
