I wasn’t sure what to think when I saw my first tattoo on my Grandfathers old friend. It was an old blown out sailor tattoo of a mermaid if I’m remembering right. 

 

  Since then tattooing has changed dramatically . From traditional to realistic tattoos, jack hammer sounding machines to machines barely able to hear. Even the world has opened up to tattoos , still judged by the “few”. Most love starting conversations about what they have also. They have become ice breakers for many people to connect and talk with others , who normally may remain silent.(introvert as myself).
