I think it's Great that someone with his creative talent would do a studio in Monroe. I checked out his work at Ink'd up custom tattoo on myspace, this guy is way above and beyond the other tat artist in this area.

The city of Toilet Poo is the laughing stock of SW Ohio. They could fill a store with used auto parts, is because of how bad Todhunter Rd. is to drive on.
I hate to admit that I actually live here.

Maybe one day Monroe can fill the empty stores they have.
They do have a 24 hr. fitness but it stinks.
The new coffee shop on Cin-Day rd. is very very good and can run that OTHER coffee shop out.

Sounds like a tree hugger and would like to be part of the good ole boys group.
Maybe that person could be another means of support for basement boy.
