I was just saying. A friend of mine is a tattoo artist and when he was apprenticing in New York they would bring in homeless guys to practice on. They [the homeless guys] would always be super stoked at a chance to get a free tattoo.
hrm, when i was going to apprentice i was told to get the pigs skin from a butcher, not a live pig. this is new to me, and though they're probably asleep when the get inked, that's not a fun pain to wake up to...
homeless people = funny
there was an article in vice a few years back about a guy who would tattoo really young pigs and as they grew the tattoos would stretch and deform, ending in some real wicked designs. I'll try to find it.
i dunno dude, wouldn't you been really pissed off waking up and your back is burning and you don't know why the fuck? so you take your opened wound and roll around in your own poop... the whole thing seems like a really bad idea to me.
