Princeton Printing space

FYI: Apparently a tattoo parlor has expressed interest in the Princeton Printing space. (This from a zoning board notice on an upcoming hearing.) Nice addition that fits the Davis vibe, yes?

I'm seriously not an aficionado, have you seen my super-basic monochromatic pieces?

Mick's like the opposite of what most people would look for in a tattoo artist - he's OK at designing custom stuff, not amazing but OK, but if you give him clear source material he is a total technical geek about it and can crank out fine detail in like no time at all. He was honest about how bad it was gonna be when I got work done in a really painful area to tattoo. He's also honest about his limitations - he sent Sean's sister to another studio/artist (I forget which) when she requested something he didn't think they could do at Pino's. Turned out like 3 different studios couldn't figure out how to do it right, but he was super up-front about it and cared more about her work than his income. I love that.

Nick @ Dragon's Lair is who I last saw, though, and I looooooved him, extremely fast and a light hand. My blackwork was almost totally healed in like a week.

Yeah, she introduced me. He touched up and expanded my Steadman bats in like 20 minutes, has a super light touch that (I believe) discouraged scarring and promoted a crisp edge, and he managed acceptable hygiene levels in an open convention booth. I was impressed. :)

I've seen work he's done on keloid-prone people and it looks good, too. I hate to sound like an ad, but I'm not gonna reign in praise for a really worthwhile artist.
