I started early! At 16 I got my first. Traded Royboy a 12 ft python for one. Last one I got was about 5 yrs ago. Not much room for more. But I might squeeze another one in so where soon!Mine are all 20 plus years old. Started at 40 and worked on a theme....My guy had a bad biking incident. Hit a deer. Broke him up pretty bad. Never picked up a gun again. I never got any more ink after that.
