    Yep. Got my first tat this year as a Christmas present from my
    family. A Grateful Dead skull and roses. I'm a 50 year old deadhead.

    One point on wearing jewelry you make to show your trade. I wear a
    massive bracelet set with one 315 ct, 75mm x 50mm Cripple Creek
    turquoise cab (rare size for Cripple Creek). I'm a big guy so I can
    pull it off. At least I think so. One of the most humorous comments
    I get is, "Ummm. Do you make anything smaller?" But people remember
    it and it is an attention getter at shows whether I'm selling or
    attending. I guess it's my way of making an impression. So you could
    say it's my egotistical side coming out. Kinda like putting your
    picture on your business card. So go ahead, fire away. I deserve it
    after the picture on the business card thread that I took exception
    to.
