Mr. Truelove here, but I can answer some since Mrs. Truelove is sleeping her butt off still.
Mrs. Truelove did most the research. We have a pretty big name tattoo parlor right down the way. It's next to one of our better bars and many famous celebrities get their tattoos there. Kinda neat walking into the showroom and all these pictures of musicians are all the walls getting their tats. The one guy that works there is a certified piercer. And we read all about where he went to learn and the techniques he uses on their website.
Seeing as they have quite a bit of reputation to lose if they don't do things correctly that made me feel a lot safer with Mrs. Truelove going there. She felt comfortable as well and away we went.
While we were in there I was paying attention to everything because I know Mrs. Truelove was far too nervous to focus on much of anything. I was watching where he got his tools, how often he changed his gloves, the explanation he gave and aftercare. If anything had been out of the norm I would have been ready to cancel the whole thing, but I was pretty comfortable with this guy and he was being very sterile with everything.
