the last book I ever read (Sailor Jerry Collins: American Tattoo Master)


from Sailor Jerry Collins: American Tattoo Master:

The first lesson is keep your wife out of the tattoo shop completely--Doc Webb is a good example of what not to do--Harry Lawson, Long Andy, Johnny Walker, Bert Grimm all have crashed on this. Huey Bowen let Nell in and she took over and run him out entirely. Marion Boehme opened up in competition to her husband. They just don't belong in this business. My wife never comes in my shop unless its to bring supplies and she's gone like a flash. She doesn't know what my take is, and nobody should know that, or about colors or anything else...so I hope you set the rules down hard and immediately and don't walk into any fish nets in the dark. [Our friend's] ex got him for 50 G and walked out and he can't say a word because she knows too much. Maybe Greg thought it was cute to teach his wife to tattoo, but honestly it's the stupidest thing he ever could have done...
