Q. My brother is doing an apprenticeship with this tattoo guy and i want to surprise him for Christmas with a tattoo kit but i am on a budget because of all the stuff i have to buy but i would like a reasonable one. Please let me know thanks.
A. if he is active in an apprenticeship do not buy him a kit. he will most likely receive equipment from the artist. the machines and equipment in these so called professional kits are cheap for a reason. there is only one "kit" i have ever run across that i would consider suggesting and that is from new york tattoo. they have a pretty descent kit for a bit under 500.00. again, the rest of them are cheap for a reason. the machines are not any good and built with cheap materials. good machines are built by artists that know what they are doing and the best materials are. they use there time, there passion for the art and there knowledge in order to create a good machine.
here is a link to a kit, if i had to, would recommend.

but again, i strongly suggest you not getting him a kit. just give him the money you would have spent on a kit. when he gets to the point in his apprenticeship when he actually begins to do some work he will use the artists equipment. when he begins to do his own stuff he will by then have a preference when it comes to the equipment he likes. a tattoo artist and the equipment he prefers is worst than a woman and her shoes...LOL

Fiction Books that take place in New York City?
Q. I want a fiction book that takes place in New York City. I looked over the internet a little but didnt find too much of my interest.Here is what I found( I put the summary so you can see what type of book I am looking for):
Candace Bushnell-4 Blondes
Summary: Come to the playgrounds of Manhattan�s powerful and beautiful. Get an insider�s look at the romantic intrigues, liaisons, and betrayals among the elite. This novel chronicles the lives of four beautiful women�a model, a columnist, a socialite, and a writer�as they face turning points in which each must choose between her passions.
J.M Mcdonell-Half Crazy
Summary:Miranda, a beautiful blond from Arkansas, moves into a New York "garden" (a big city euphemism for basement) apartment with an unfinished dirt floor. It's like a bad joke: she has come to make it big as a fashion model. As she moves in with her dog, Pete, she meets upstairs neighbor David, who's gay and writes bad romance novels. She and David fast become good friends. What's more, within days Miranda lands a big fashion job, and within months her face is on the covers of major magazines. But, jealousy and trouble soon follow.
Lauren Henderson-Strawberry Tattoo
Summary:Sam Jones, sculptress and reluctant sleuth, can't resist the opportunity to do Manhattan when she's invited to New York for a group show at a gallery featuring young British artists. New York, loud and brash as Sam herself, welcomes her with open arms and plenty of her favorite margaritas. She's even reunited with Kim, a best friend from childhood who's transformed herself into a quintessential New Yorker, complete with weekly spinning classes and an East Village studio apartment. Despite Sam's promise to stay out of trouble, however, trouble keeps finding her -- one of the gallery's employees is found strangled in Central Park's Strawberry Fields not long after Sam arrives, and the gallery itself has been trashed with graffiti. While Sam's new Manhattan friends pop Prozac and fret about the police investigation, the rest of the young Brits turn up in New York, including the one Sam drunkenly groped in a club not so long ago. Will the exhibition be a success? Will Sam's current boyfriend -- the dashing actor Hugo -- find out about her moment of abandon? And will the details of the strawberry tattoo give away the murderer's identity before Sam herself becomes a target?
It dosn't have to be about crime...I perfer not. want something that has to do with love,life or dreams such as the books above. Also something that dosn't takes Place in the olden days.Some book that takes place in the modern day.
Please tell me the books that you have found and a short summary of it. THANKS!
P.S.I love N.Y! lol.

A. The Clique
Although the characters in the book go to many different places, most of the action in the stories take place in Westchester County, New York. The girls go to school at Octavian Country Day School (OCD), a private all-girls school. Other incidents occur at the Briarwood Academy (OCD's boys school), the Westchester mall, and at various characters' houses.
Massie Block: Massie Block is the alpha (leading) member of her group of friends (known collectively as the "Pretty Committee"). This clique is at the head of the 'food chain' at their prestigious private school, Octavian County Day (OCD). Usually she is the most popular in her group. She is very spoiled and is usually very snobbish, but she has a vulnerable side that shows up when she is under pressure. Massie is known for her wardrobe (designer labels), her quick wit, and her desire to shine above everyone.
Alicia Rivera: Alicia Rivera is Massie's beta (second in command), but her personality doesn't quite shine like Massie's does. Alicia is also a bit kinder in nature than Massie, but tends to be a gossip. Alicia is also known for her wardrobe (heavily influenced by Ralph Lauren), and for her exotic beauty (her mother is an internationally-known Spanish model).
Dylan Marvil: Dylan Marvil is the Pretty Committee's source to the showbiz world, for her mother is famous talk show host for a television show called The Daily Grind. Dylan is bubbly and talkative. Her trademarks are her fiery red hair, her brightly colored style, and her obsession with her weight. (She has tried various fad diets, but does not stick to any of them for very long).
Kristen Gregory: Kristen Gregory is an all-star soccer player at school. However, she is by no means a tomboy. She is a fan of designer clothes, but she cannot afford them (her father, a former rich art dealer, lost his money prior to the series' inception). Kristen is highly intelligent (She is on a scholarship at OCD) and beautiful with her long blond hair. Her trademarks are playing word games, being athletic and avoiding being caught by her parents.
Claire Lyons: Claire Lyons moved from Orlando, Florida to Westchester, New York. Her dad was good friends with Massie's dad in college, so the Blocks allow them to move into the guesthouse. Claire's family is not rich and privileged like the other girls, so she has a hard time adjusting. She is known for her individualism, her non-designer style, and her Keds.
