Just how drunk to you have to be to get a tattoo in China?


There are easier ways to die.


Hepatitis was probably birthed at this tattootery, a hole in the wall  located in the windy little
streets of Kunming, near the HUMP hostel.


The good news is, is if you need a liver transplant, you
probably can buy one somewhere in this maze, right next to the guy who sells
pig faces.

It looks like you can get a little acupuncture done at this ink shop as well.Check out the poster of the pin cushion lady on the wall.


I know several young westerners who got the Chinese version
of the tramp stamp, otherwise known at the Expat tat. Usually, they get their Chinese name placed around
their ankle to be different like everyone else.

This guy is getting his ink done in a place where he can’t see it. So
that begs for the question: why get the tat in the first place?

The only time I’ve been to an ink shop was in Chicago and
that was because a kid stole my wallet. He used my credit card to buy a nipple
ring.
