ha ha oh god. Funny story, Ernie (boss) knows Ed...they go way back. Started the Queen Mary tattoo expo in 1982 with Ed Nolte. But truth be told, alot of tattooers aren't big fans of Ed...not even Ernie. He sold things that didn't belong to him (flash images) and to be totally honest, he doens't even usually tattoo traditional work. He was all about fine line, or no out line tattooing...exact OPPOSITE of what traditional tattooing is all about. But that's another story ha ha

We're keeping the stand that color...goes with the floors nice and we want the main focus of the tank to be the corals and the fish....and we're redoing the walls of the shop so it'll be full of traditional, hand painted flash. Pretty much when I'm not working on the tank or tattooing I'm painting 11x15s or 15x20s full of tattoo flash. If I get some time today I'll post some in the lounge.

Water today!

Psssh! "Slow" builds. Tee hee! Snicker! I'm not worried about losing my title on this at all.

While we're on the topic, I agree that I don't see anything "half arsed" about this build so far. Looks pretty fine to me!

might've gone a little overboard on the silicone...every single bulkhead....front and back...no leaks now!
