I was the only minor amongst the group so my dad had to sign for me. I got that mark on my right forearm and at that time I thought it was very painful but I could not let my dad know this for he would have told the artist to stop and I could return when I became a man to have it finished so I just looked away and let it happen. After that first experience I had done a lot of reading about the art of tattooing and made up my mind that some day I would have a full body suit with my personal exceptions, ie, no ink on the neck, head, hands, feet, or those personal and private areas of my body.
