I had recently gotten a few tattoos in Nebraska when I was 17 with my father to create a father son bonding. Later, I started to put more into emphasizing getting tattoos with my mother and brother. Well, my old tattoo parlor shut down, didn't know anywhere to go. I stumbled upon Skin Kitchen from a few friends. Time was coming the big old "18", I was wanting to create a bond with my brother as he and I have both been through so much as kids. Skin Kitchen gave us the Bond of Brother Hood by giving us each tattoos we both loved mine being"Every Saint has a Past" and my brothers being "Every Sinner has a Future." They have created a relationship with me and my brother through there art and Idea. Plan on driving back up to get a Shoulder tattoo started after taxes come, Skin Kitchen is worth the 3 hr drive (:
