But what about when you get a body piercing or tattoo? Since body art services are not taxable in the usual sense, you think you are in the clear and that all you have to do is worry about getting through a little pain or discomfort, right? Wrong.
Unfortunately, in the vast majority of tattoo shops there is what is called a ‘Shop Minimum’ fee which is the least amount they want to even deal with you – a way of saying if you don’t spend their designated ‘minimum’ amount of money, they don’t want your business. Not only is it insulting to customers but suggesting such a thing reeks of being a rip-off!
The good news is as more and more shops open (and as many close) things are going to get to a point where such arrogance will catch up to shops that try to gouge you that way, and it will become less and less common. Until then, you might want to find a shop that doesn’t charge a shop minimum or do that ear or body piercing at home with a body piercing kit from a reputable company (see link). Good luck and remember, SAY NO TO SHOP MINIMUMS!
Successful people ask better questions.

Working from home meant we could vary snack and coffee breaks, change our desks or view, goof off, drink on the job, even spend the day in pajamas, and often meet to gossip or share ideas. On the other hand, we bossed ourselves around, set impossible goals, and demanded longer hours than office jobs usually entail.
Aristotle made several efforts to explain how moral conduct contributes to the good life for human agents, including the Eqikh EudaimonhV and the Magna Moralia, but the most complete surviving statement of his views on morality occurs in the Eqikh Nikomacoi.
It was the ultimate “flextime,” in that it depended on how flexible we felt each day, given deadlines, distractions, and workaholic crescendos.
A great and very professional tattoo parlour that creates high quality work. I have had two old school pieces done by Tattoo Peter the first one in the shop by Frank Paradiso and the other at Brighton tattoo convention by Bill Loika and could not be happier.
My experience was not so good. I got a large tattoo of a hawk on my right forearm in the fall of 1964 and it almost immediately became severely infected. within 2-3 days reached a temp of 102 deg. Had to return to Germany and gets shots. Part of colored came off as it healed. But rated high based on others comments. Going back in May 2016 if time I’ll have them redo it.
Professor Loika will kick your shitty tattoo in the teeth. .. all the guys are excellent though. Eddy, Peter, Frank. Check them out
