20-The Canadian Champion, Friday, November 2, 2001 People from ail walks of life getting tattoos, says owner of new Main Street tattoo shop By FANNIE SUNSHINE men Ieao toward Use arma.Ezmà A Ký ý ' ; -n-- A1 b ý X The Champion There's more to the art of tattoorng than drawinga pîcture, tracmng it on skin and followmng the ines with a needie. "Anyone cao draw a ânme but-not every- one can follow it," said Paul Vicary, owner of Dermnagraphics By Paul, which recently opened on Main Street. He's been in the tattoo and piercing busi- ness for 23 years and haa owned bis own tattoo shop in Guelph for 17 years. 1I waa always good at art. (Tattooing) is a piece of art nobody cao take away fromn you.,, But there are differences between tattoo- ing skin and drawing on a canvaas, Mr. Vicary said. "A canvass can't move," hie said with a laugh. "People think getting a tattoo is going to hurt, so they're afraid before they actually ait in the chair. 'Me more they relax, the eaaier it will be." Women tend to, waot tattoos placed on their lower back and shoulder area, while "But tomne will want themn ail over," Mr. Vicary said. "The men don't go for thse make-up. 1 do a lot of women who waot eyeliner permanently tattooed on, and lip work is popular." And if you're intoxicated, on drugs or under thse age of 18, you cao forget about hearing the buzz of thse needle. 1t won't do tattoos with raciai sturs or Helter Skelîer type tattoos," he said flrmly. 1t won't do tattoos on the sides of thse feet because it's a îotally different skin type than thse reat of thse body. The issk tends 10 spread and blur and tends 10 wear down quicker." Even if you're a couple years off fromn voting age, you cao gel a piercing if you're old enough Io drive. "Belly buttons, eyebrows and tongue (piercings) are very popular," Mr. Vicary said. And if people tlsink only young, rebel- lious adults tattoo themnselves, think again. "I did a tattoo on a 68-year-old womnao the other day. My clientele consista of doc- tors aod Iawyers. t even did a lattoo on a nus at my Guelphs shop." ase.
