THE MATTER OF
DESTINY
Some say their lives are pre-
scribed as a matter of destiny. This
raises the question as to whether
or not we have control over the
course of our lives. If not, what is
the use of our taking any action,
or even deliberating about what
action we may take? This sug-
gests a certain passivity that does
not jibe with the take-control na-
ture of our society. On the other
hand, is there not a divine plan
that guides us all? Perhaps the
best answer to these questions
comes from the Greek philoso-
pher Origen, who wrote: "Things
do not happen because God fore-
sees them in the distant future; but
because they will happen, God
knows them before they happen."
The most inevitable fact of life
is that it will end one day, Making
personal arrangements for this
day should be no more unusual
than making out a will or buying a
life insurance policy. We all resist
thinking about these things. The
disturbing part is that we are
forced to make decisions about
final arrangements often in the
midst of deep sorrow and without
really knowing what he or she
might have really wanted. For in-
formation on prearranged funer-
als, call McCOMB FUNERAL
HOME, 703 Railroad Ave West
(426-4803).

are the destiny of the next."

SAF00 CAN00T HU00T Y{}U
Q. "Is tattooing safe?"
A. YES, in this day and age there is an increased awareness about infection control in
the tattoo studio environment, both artist and consumers are changing to adapt to today's
standards of health and safety through education. There are a number of items to look
for to ensure your peace of mind. Is there an autoclave on site? Is single service of
materials and equipment provided? Gloves being worn? Clean environment? Your con-
ceres are our concerns...
Q. "What is an autoclave?"
A. An autoclave is a machine that will kill any living microorganism known to mankind.
This is not to be confused with toaster ovens, dry heat units, boiling of needles, or soak-
ing equipment in alcohol. Autoclaves use heat, steam, and pressure at temps above 270
degrees Fahrenheit for at least 55 minutes from cold start. You can rest assured. Ask to
see one/
Q. "What about the materials?"
A. Any ointments, pigments, needles, gloves, beakers, etc. used in applying your new
tattoo are discarded after use. NOTHING is re-used/After the application, the artist will
disinfect the work area with v/r/c/dais that kill any surface bacteria or viruses.
Q. "What does the term single service mean?"
A. This means that each needle and tube set is individually packaged, dated and sealed,
then autoclaved. There is a small icon on the bag that will change color when proper
sterilization has occurred.
Q. "Why go some place else?"
A. When you can get a very nice tattoo right here at the Tattoo Connection in a smoke-
free environment. We also offer single needle use, autoclave sterilization and the latest in
cross-contamination prevention techniques.

THE MATTER OF
DESTINY
Some say their lives are pre-
scribed as a matter of destiny. This
raises the question as to whether
or not we have control over the
course of our lives. If not, what is
the use of our taking any action,
or even deliberating about what
action we may take? This sug-
gests a certain passivity that does
not jibe with the take-control na-
ture of our society. On the other
hand, is there not a divine plan
that guides us all? Perhaps the
best answer to these questions
comes from the Greek philoso-
pher Origen, who wrote: "Things
do not happen because God fore-
sees them in the distant future; but
because they will happen, God
knows them before they happen."
The most inevitable fact of life
is that it will end one day, Making
personal arrangements for this
day should be no more unusual
than making out a will or buying a
life insurance policy. We all resist
thinking about these things. The
disturbing part is that we are
forced to make decisions about
final arrangements often in the
midst of deep sorrow and without
really knowing what he or she
might have really wanted. For in-
formation on prearranged funer-
als, call McCOMB FUNERAL
HOME, 703 Railroad Ave West
(426-4803).

Q. "Is tattooing safe?"
A. YES, in this day and age there is an increased awareness about infection control in
the tattoo studio environment, both artist and consumers are changing to adapt to today's
standards of health and safety through education. There are a number of items to look
for to ensure your peace of mind. Is there an autoclave on site? Is single service of
materials and equipment provided? Gloves being worn? Clean environment? Your con-
ceres are our concerns...
Q. "What is an autoclave?"
A. An autoclave is a machine that will kill any living microorganism known to mankind.
This is not to be confused with toaster ovens, dry heat units, boiling of needles, or soak-
ing equipment in alcohol. Autoclaves use heat, steam, and pressure at temps above 270
degrees Fahrenheit for at least 55 minutes from cold start. You can rest assured. Ask to
see one/
Q. "What about the materials?"
A. Any ointments, pigments, needles, gloves, beakers, etc. used in applying your new
tattoo are discarded after use. NOTHING is re-used/After the application, the artist will
disinfect the work area with v/r/c/dais that kill any surface bacteria or viruses.
Q. "What does the term single service mean?"
A. This means that each needle and tube set is individually packaged, dated and sealed,
then autoclaved. There is a small icon on the bag that will change color when proper
sterilization has occurred.
Q. "Why go some place else?"
A. When you can get a very nice tattoo right here at the Tattoo Connection in a smoke-
free environment. We also offer single needle use, autoclave sterilization and the latest in
cross-contamination prevention techniques.
