Following our feature on Richmond's tattoo artists making their mark in the city, the News asked community members what they think of getting inked.
Q: Do you have any tattoos?
Cade Kran
Tattoo artist
"Yes, I do. My dad's a tattoo artist. So that was probably a big influence as to why I have tattoos. He did most of mine for me."
Alexx Wiseman
Visual manager
"Yeah, I have six. I think it's cool to show your creativity on your skin."
KP Wee

"I don't. I just don't feel comfortable putting something on my skin. And I guess it's permanent.
What if I wanted to have a tattoo of my favourite sports team, but then I change allegiance? Or, let’s say, a lover?
And also, it sounds kind of painful."
Puneet Bassi
Retail
"Yeah, I have five. I'm really into art. I really like drawing and sketching ... I actually sketched out my own rose and gave it to the tattoo artist."
Norm Simmons

I got some; I can show you ... I got these for each of my daughters. When they were (teenagers) we got tattooed together.
