<p>Perhaps if she can actually make a bit of money doing tatoo work - which seems unlikely for the first year or so-she could make enough money to cover the difference between a double and a single doom room.
Consider showing her the beautiful tatoos done on the chests of women with mastectomies. Show her tatoos on unattractive old men?<br>
I could see my 17 yr old with visions of good looking, cool young folks, not tatooing a 60 year old man or woman. (g) Remind her a lifetime of tattooing ugly little devils, armed service emblems and etc on drunk men is not such a fun time. Letting her apprentice is probably reality enough.
btw there we just saw a tatoo parlor in an upscale mall. Not sure which one, but local north Jersey.</p>
