Why Jack of Arts in Bedford is shady as fuck:

1. Their name is spelled "Jack of Arts Tattooz". With a 'z'.

2. The place looks like a house.

3. When you walk into the place, it's an empty room -save for the pool table- with flash graphics all over the walls.

4. The whole place was being heated by an outdoor space heater.

5. Their body piercing cabinet was bare. The thing probably had 10 belly button rings and a handful of nose studs.

6. Their "waiting area" consisted of about 6 chairs, a TV, and the aforementioned space heater.

7. Nick's tattoo artist came out to make adjustments and make sure the tattoo would fit on his arm. THE GUY HAD A GUN ON HIS BELT. A LEGIT PISTOL.

8. Nick's 6:30pm appointment turned into an 8pm appointment. We waited an hour and a half.

9. I wasn't allowed to sit in the room and watch him get tattooed. WTF.

10. Nick's artist was missing teeth and would occasionally spit out of the side of his mouth.

11. There was an FBI bulletin in one of their photo albums warning about possible terrorists coming into tattoo shops.
