This is my First ever tat. I got it on the front of my hip. Most people say shading dosent hurt. BULL!!! ouch.... :-) i hope to get more. Ive been in a few tournaments, 8 and 9 ball. Nothing big. But this tat serves to remind me, that you can have a 7 ball streak, be shooting for that eight ball, and scratch. You never know what lifes gonna throw
