Don't steal from tattoo studios. Just don't.
Today (8-25-08) at about 5PM, we had a couple of young men come into our shop, Quicky Tattoos at 6719 N. Lamar, under the auspices of purchasing some tattoo ink. I suppose they decided they didn't like the price, $7.50 for a half-ounce, and decided to sprint out the door with the ink in their hands. I know, it might be a bad idea to sell supplies. I know, it is a bad idea to let someone hold the product while you are on the other side of the counter. I guess we are a little too trusting.
Anyway, our disposable hero, Damien, bolted out the door right after the thief. The guy must be new to the whole steal-and-run thing, cause as he dived into his get-away car, he lost his shoe.
Damien waved the shoe at him as the started to drive off, and these brilliant examples of the neighborhood's best decided to put their car in reverse and come back. An altercation insued, the thief got his shoe but spilled th ink. Meanwhile, I was shooting pics with my cell-phone. Pics of the thief, pics of the car (TX LP 387 KGP). The thief once again extracted himself from the situation, diving into his car (again), and driving off, sans his ill-gotten goods.
I know, it is a TERRIBLE idea to run out after a guy over $7.50 in ink, but that is how it happened.
To make things worse for our juvenile delinquents, one of the passengers pointed a gun at our man Damien. This turned a simple shop-lifting into assualt, armed robbery, and an example of extremely bad manners.
Anywho, here's a pic of the thief in question. Please repost this blog so as many people as possible see what a loser this person is.
