Success in the tattoo business is quite an accomplishment, longevity even rarer. Willie, at Tropical Tattoos has both under his belt. In business at the same locations since 1990, he understands that bikes and tattoos just go together.
Willie has seen the tattoo industry go from being subculture to mainstream over the years. When Willie became interested in having tattoos and developing it as a way of life, it was the fringe of society that belonged to that culture. Getting a tat was a statement. He still uses that statement on his shirts: I’m Not Your Role Model.
Just as the biker culture has been enveloped into mainstream life, so has the art of tattoos. Women and men from all walks of life, for all purposes, now come into tattoo parlours for their permanent inking.
Willie warns all considering body art to not take getting tatted lightly. Things to consider:

Willie warns all considering body art to not take getting tatted lightly. Things to consider:
|
1.
|
If you are sunburned, wait until you heal before getting a tattoo. The colours will not hold well on sunburned skin.
|
|
2.
|
Alcohol impairs judgment and can cause increased bleeding. Do not drink before having a tattoo.
|
|
3.
|
Research the establishment and view the artist portfolio.
|
|
4.
|
Do not get a tattoo on a dare.
|
|
5.
|
This is permanent. If you have any doubts about getting a tattoo, you are not ready.
