Burning Questions of a VintageReno-# 1 Layout
I am already waist deep in redoing my very small space with the very big problems.
I am trying to do (need to do) a modest renovation. My tastes are quite plain. Nothing too high end, which would be out of keeping with the simplicity of the rest of the house. The house is a small cottage, built 1854, in a gorgeous setting in rural CT. Total square footage is a bit less than 1000 sq feet. It was originally one of four workmen�s cottages for men who worked at the nearby but long-gone mill (there is a brook across the street). It is cape style, and because originally only the first floor was meant to be living space, the upstairs was unfinished until later and the downstairs ceilings are very low.
The kitchen presents unique problems, as follows:
Size. It is very small, and I don't have the budget to move walls, or build out, etc. Over the summer I did the window part of the reno, putting in new windows along the back wall that looks over the deck and onto the back yard gardens, stone walls and woods beyond. There is a cantilevered banquette bench below one set of windows. The windows to the ceiling have brightened the room, and made the low ceiling seem lighter.
Odd shape. It has a long narrow appendage (aisle?) at one corner (you can see this in the upper right on the drawing), and it has a cove/recess area/surround (I use for lack of a better term) measuring about 88" x 17" on one interior wall, which backs on our study.You can see these on the crude drawing below (sorry for the primitive quality).
Three doorways. They cut up the space on three walls. One goes to the mudroom and backyard, one to the hall and bathroom, one to the living room.
I am nearing retirement age; there are two of us. My partner never cooks. My cooking has lessened considerably as I have grown older: we rarely have meat except on sandwiches; we eat fresh vegetables from the garden or the farmers markets, eggs, simple pastas, soups; I do a little baking. I never broil or cook spicy, aromatic foods. That being said, I still want an inviting, and efficient space for when I do shake the pots and pans. The main problem is lack of counter space. However, three doorways in a room that is about 9-1/2 x 10-1/2 prevent any long runs.
I am not fancy -- no pot filler, disposal, prep sink (room for only one), wall ovens, and any other electronic high-tech gimcrackery. I have a Chambers stove, model B, and since there is only room for one star in this small kitchen (and it certainly isn't me), I will let her take the honors. In fact, all my design thoughts and the vintage qualities I have decided on stem from the stove. But more on that for another post.
The first burning question is how to maximize efficiency and get more counter space where it's needed. I have read thru the posts on basic space minimums, but given the footprint, it just isn�t possible to have 42-inch aisles. The aisle between the sink and the island will have to do at 36".
I have thought about layout and have come up with one that I think sort of works, given the constraints (Layout 1 below). That's the best I can do.
The second layout, with the fridge next to the stove provides for a longer counter next to the sink, but has no landing space next to the stove. The fridge, even at counter depth, also sticks out too far into the doorway to the hall. That hall leads to the study and the only downstairs bathroom. I don�t think the work paths -- having to go from frdge to sink and then back to stove -- really work as well as the other layout. And the doorway would have to be moved, adding extra expense.
Since this has gotten far too long, here are the two layouts. For all the layout gurus, please have at them and give me your thoughts and your help. And thank you!
Yours sounds like a very charming house.
I'm not sure I understood all of your measurements, but I took a stab at it in the IKEA 3D planner. IKEA is a very good value for the bones of your kitchen - cabinet carcasses, drawers, hardware, etc. If they don't carry a doorstyle you like, you can purchase doors, drawer fronts and cover panels from a 3rd party like Scherr's, cabinetsnow.com or semihandmade.
To increase your counterspace I did 2 things. Undercounter refrigerators. And shortened your banquette in favor of a large cabinet with drawers. An 18" dishwasher gets it to fit.
Here is a link that might be useful: IKEA 3D Planner - link good for 7 days
Can you get to the bathroom by another pathway, even if it's longer? I only have one bathroom (first floor) in my two-story mid 19th c house. Walking to it is not the problem most people imagine it to be. Salvaging that doorway for a counter run may be worth it.
Can you make a bigger drawing (with blacker ink) of the space without stuff in it?
It appears your sink run is somehow recessed into another room?
Which windows and doors are there, now? Windowsill heights? It's hard to tell.
What's the little black square on the forward upper corner of the banquette? A structural post?
Which walls are exterior?
The island is pretty big for your space. An island may be usfeul for added work space, but having it and a banquette bench is probably too much seating for a small kitchen. Even a much smaller island, totally dedicated to work top, will help and without expectation of having eating positions frees up the dimensions of it.
Have you considered having a single keep-the-cook-company stool that also doubles as the seat for eating when grabbing a snack by yourself? (You could have a pull-out shelf in the cabs for that table space use.) My kitchen is a bit bigger but we spent time thinking about what seating we actually wanted in the kitch and decided the keeping company perch (not connected to an eating surface) would do the trick as mostly when we are together one is cooking and the other kibitzing. We sited the perch with regard to chatting while prepping. I also have a stool that is tucked away in the corner which is sometimes used for a quick snack while watching a pot or sitting for long preserving tasks (shelling peas, for ex.). We eat all sit-down meals in the dining room or grab a plate and sit outside or around the fire in the winter.
Where do you eat, now?
Is there any chance you could close off the doorway to the living room? That would give you a nice L-shape counterspace for the range and sink, with the fridge on the back wall (maybe with a pantry area). From Cottage house plans
I think I'm beginning to understand your space better. However, I may have added about 18" to the width. ???
I have tiny-kitchen friends with an "appendage" like yours. They have their refrigerator in theirs. Seems like a hike, but it really isn't. Yours is wide enough for a pullout pantry, and perhaps some ingenious broom pullout on the right.

thanks all -- I realize my drawing is so primitive it's hard to see and I guess I wasn't the best at explaining.
LavLass - That door to the living room is actually the main way into the kitchen, and the stairs to the upstairs are at that junction. So that's not a possibility.
tbb123 - Your second IKEA plan is actually totally accurate excapt for the added inches. (I wish!) This is actally the plan I thought would work. I see what you say about moving the fridge down into that aisle, but the windows back there overlook the back yard and gardens and since the other two walls -- the one with the sink, and the one with the stove -- are interior, I hate to block the ones with the view and that let in the light. But you make it look doable the way you have arranged things.
liriodendron, I have always considered your comments on other people's space problems so thoughtful, and I thank you also for taking the time to question and think. I thought the island should be a floating island, a fanciful way of saying it should be rolling. It isn't really an eating island, but more a prep space, and it should be much reduced in size. I will answer your questions more in detail and think about what you suggest. I am still at work, and trying to finish up work stuff and my own stuff, but I will cogitate on what you said. And I should force myself into the world of higher tech than I now can muster up. Alas, I shall always remain a word person. And alas again, my USDA zone is a bit too harsh for a tulip tree.
I'm perplexed as to where and how the inches come out. I'm guessing it's to the left of your 88" indentation into the study. I see 61" for the appendage. But I don't see a measurement from the indentation to the wall common to the stairs.
So the doorway in the lower left hand corner goes to the living room and can't be changed. How about the door to the hall and bathroom? Could we make that into a passthrough?
Can you post a picture of your current space?
Ceiling height?
Measurement of your current island? Does it work for you?
Is it possible to modify the banquette?
Thank you for your kind words about my (often prolix) comments; they were a little Solstice gift to me when I read them this a.m., and very much appreciated.
Now then, you needn't invest time or brain cells in mastering computer layouts. A measuring tape, a willing partner, an extra-fine sharpie, a straight edge and pad of graph paper are all that it takes to do a planning drawing. Oh, plus a pencil and a big eraser. All can be had at an office supply store for less than $20, except for the partner, of course. You're on your own for that.
Make careful measurements; transfer them to the graph paper at any scale you like, using pencil. Then using the straight edge, go over the outlines with the dark sharpie; take a pic, upload it to photobucket and post it here. And you can play around with versions of it on your own, at home. To me, 3-D drawings seem more confusing when just working on the foot print as they infuse an element of perspective-skewing. My suggestion is to stick with the top-down map-view style, at least when doing the layout. That keeps you focused on the plan, which is the most crucial aspect. You can "furnish" it afterwards.
Since you are in CT, do not assume you can't grow tulip trees. Mine came up with me from my Mother's farm in VA and now live here even farther north than you are. I live north of Albany, and not down in the temperature- buffered River Valley, either. Even if you live in the chilly NW corner of CT, I think tulip trees would do just fine. They are very hard (supposedly) to transplant because they have sparce, fleshy, brittle roots. I didn't have problems with that, however. I don't think I lost a single one even though they were wild-dug and not cultivated or root-pruned from the start. I was worried that being from VA (solid Z6) would mean they couldn't adapt to a colder Z5 teetering on Z4, but they've done well. Oddly, because I associated them so strongly with VA, it was only after I had mine up here that I noticed that there are larger, old specimens here and there about my area. And I thought I "knew" my local flora.
They are rarely offered in commerce, but some of the smaller specialty nurseries do sell them. They are best moved with a ball of earth, so I don't think it would work for bare-root. I could suggest some sources, if you really wanted to give one a try.
Hope to see some more versions of your plan; neither the size nor age nor scale of your kitchen plans seem daunting to me. Small size actually frees you from the seductive lure of a full-on, every-amenity, mega-kitchen. It forces very careful thought and analysis of how you use your kitch which, in my experience invariably results in both better functionality and excellent overall design.
This could be a very charming kitchen, when all is planned and done. I like all the windows, but agree that graph paper, a tape measure and a rule is your friend. Just to make a guess, I probably drew out 100 versions of my kitchen when I was at the layout point.
Say, am I seeing your beautiful model B Chambers measured at 36"? I have a model 61C and know that I need 38" for that stove. Just thought I'd mention it as I've learned that .5" can bork your layout in a small kitchen.
Looking forward to seeing your graph paper layouts!

Source: Rob Ninkovich has a good chance to play in divisional round - 5 Comments
Big news for Rob Ninkovich and the Patriots today.
Tests concluded the defensive end has avoided a serious injury, and there's a good chance he can play when the Patriots open the postseason Jan. 13, according to a source. He suffered some strained muscles in his hip, which is a positive development after there was some legitimate, initial fear the injury could cost him the postseason.
The Patriots return to practice Wednesday, but next week might be a more realistic goal for Ninkovich to get back on the field.

Oct 30, 2011A boring and repetitive combat system and and a subpar technical production make The Cursed Crusade an avoidable game; a wasted opportunity to represent a great and charismatic historical period.
Nov 14, 2011A real failure on every front. It should be avoided as you would prevent participation in a cursed crusade.
Nov 6, 2011Even with all these problems, however, I found the plot interesting enough that I'm definitely hooked. If by some miracle there is a The Cursed Crusade 2, I'd be interested in seeing the story wrapped up as long as this title's wealth of problems are fixed.
Oct 25, 2011It's too bad, because Cursed Crusade has fleetingly interesting ideas, like forcing you to push a very slow-moving mantlet towards an enemy's defensive line, or the way the timing of tapping out combo strings actually encourages thoughtful player response. Co-op can actually be fun in short bursts with a friend, and even the detailed aesthetic is surprisingly competent.
Oct 14, 2011The Cursed Crusade has too many cutscenes, it's too easy, it's boring, it has many issues and bugs and, overall, it's not a good experience. Also, it gives extreme importance to the story, but it's never interesting and ends up being forgettable and the combat is so bland that it's not even worthy of this gen.
Oct 12, 2011The Cursed Crusade is a perfect example of the sort of game that's being squeezed out nowadays: badly produced, cheaply made and full of tired clichés, both in gameplay and in its story.
Oct 7, 2011Developer Kylotonn has crafted the least appealing fantasy brawler imaginable, its stillborn mechanics drenched in over-compensatory cutscene-driven storytelling, its charms limited to the lure of unlockable combos and abilities.
Oct 25, 2011A lethargic combat experience marred further by grotesque bugs, The Cursed Crusade is a game that truly does feel cursed, like no amount of hard work would put it right.
Nov 17, 2011The Cursed Crusade has the founding for a really fun game but falls short in almost every aspect. Even playing co-op mode, the game doesn't really change much from the solo experience and with so many problems outside the gameplay, it's not very enjoyable. Sadly, I say this is one to miss especially as there are plenty of titles out there to keep you busy until the end of the year.
Oct 27, 2011A game "broken" in so many ways, even its budget price tag is not enough to save it from oblivion.
Oct 27, 2011Its biggest flaw is that it lacks spirit, which is ironic, since the game is actually trying to take your character's soul. Without a spark, though - even a stolen one - The Cursed Crusade has ended up damning itself.
Oct 26, 2011But instead of choosing between a co-op or AI partner, you should just avoid playing this game. The only thing of any value that Cursed Crusade has left me with is a blight that will remain on my Xbox Gamerscore until the end of time.
Oct 13, 2011The Cursed Crusade is a repetitive hack-and-slash that is marred by clumsy combat, poor dialogue, and some serious technical issues.
Oct 31, 2011A real chien of a historical slasher. Its camp appeal is offset against its tendency to crash mid-game. Sheer hell. [Christmas 2011, p.101]
Oct 14, 2011Embarrassingly poor medieval brawler that seems completely oblivious to its own absurdity and incompetence.
Oct 31, 2011A game with few redeeming qualities, a dull, pretentious hack-and-slash that fails in almost every way.
Oct 25, 2011On paper, the ideas that went into this its creation must have come from a place of passion and excitement for a rich period in history. But then I remember that I actually played this unlikable, unfair, and unfinished game for many, many miserable hours, and the only person I feel bad for is me. Don't go near this thing, or else you'll be cursed with damnation, too.

It alsoThe game has an interesting concept, that of a Co-Op enabled third person action fighting story based game set during the Crusades. It also has the foundations for an interesting combat mechanic, but unfortunately the application doesn't realise the concept well enough. While it plays quite well, there's an odd mechanic where when you block an opponents attack, you both go into some weird frozen pose with them while the game waits for you to press a button prompt. This might have been okay if it was occaasional, but it happens ALL the time during combat and gets old fast, and is certainly not the better for it as it destroys any flow of the fight. While its great that there's so many weapon and shield varations and combos, such as single handed, single handed with shield, duel wielding, two handed weapons, crossbow etc, the method of selecting weapons using the D-pad, including the diagonals, isn't ideal and ultimately a bit hit and miss, that can have you literally floundering to get the weapons you want equipped in the heat of battle..
There's a couple of other apects to the game that let it down a bit, such as the dreadful music and buges that were never fixed, such as everytime you load the game, you have to turn all the music and sound effects up, because they always revert to zero when you turn the game off, it never saves your preferences or even has them turned up by default, which was very poor.
There is some enjoymant to be had from the game. I like the fact that in Co-Op it's split screen(Online Co-Op is also available),and there's some nice/satisfying touches, such as when you and your partner perform a joint finish move, the screen goes full screen while you perform them.
There will be people who enjoy this game, and i can see why they would, but the game could have benefitted more time in development and a bigger budget to see the concept polished and properly realised, but as it is, despite its ability to give some degree of entertainment, for its faults and imperfections it gets a 5.… Full Review »

Connection Stabilizer Booster
If you are having trouble with your cellular data connection, this is the app for you.
Loaded with lots of powerful features, this app delivers a stable mobile internet connectivity.
★★★ Active Keep Alive ★★★
Does your wireless carrier disconnects your 2G, 3G or 4G data connection after a certain period of inactivity? Or is there no data transfer even when connection is live?
Active Keep Alive along with Reset on Failure keeps your connection alive in such cases and also helps in keeping the traffic flowing between your phone and your ISP's servers. It also optimizes TCP/IP parameters if required, to give you the best possible internet experience. The network assigns a higher priority to your device and this results in significant improvement in network performance, especially if resources on the network are under strain.
★★★ Active Reconnect ★★★
Does your device often lose data signal and is unable to reconnect even though network is available? Do you miss out important chats, IMs and emails until you turn data connection on and off, maybe multiple times to get reconnected? That is a known issue that affects many people. It can be caused by handset or carrier issues.
Active Reconnect automatically reconnects your 2G GPRS, 3G or 4G LTE internet connection as soon as it gets disconnected and thus keeps the data connection active at all times.
When activated, this feature actively monitors and immediately re-establishes dropped connections, using muscle if required. This is particularly useful if android's built in system fails to connect you to the network. The monitoring process does not cause any load on your device's resources as it is intelligently invoked only when required.
Reconnection needs root access (only) on Lollipop due to new access restrictions imposed by Google.
★★★ Force Connect ★★★
Uses tricks and tweaks to establish internet connection and attains connectivity even on congested networks.
✔ Highly customizable design.
✔ This app can fix 2G, 3G and 4G internet connection problems on T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, Telkomsel, Tata DoCoMo, BSNL 3G, Airtel, Vodafone, Reliance or any other troublesome carrier!
✔ This ad supported app is available completely free of charge unlike other ineffective low quality paid apps.
→ If you are experiencing difficulty in establishing connection to the internet over the mobile network, just press the Force Connect button on the dashboard to try forcing the connection for once.
→ If you are facing automatic disconnection problem then activate the Active Reconnect module. It will automatically detect connection drops and actively reconnect the connection, using force connect if required.
→ If your carrier disconnects you from the network following a particular period of inactivity, activate the Active Keep Alive module. You can adjust the ping interval from the Active Keep Alive settings to be just lower than your network's inactivity timeout period.
→ If you are facing any other problem with you connection, like no data being transmitted even when connected, you can just activate the Active Keep Alive with default settings. Its pinging action is known to work wonders and solve or reduce the intensity of many congestion related network issues. It can also detect and reset frozen connections.
☆ Please don't use play store's feedback system for support. In case of issues or for any question or suggestion please contact us directly via e-mail.
German Translation by Mokkami
→ When Active Reconnect is enabled, you cannot turn off the mobile data connection directly from your device.
To disconnect, press the data setting ON OFF button on the app's dashboard or deactivate Active Reconnect before turning off mobile data from android settings.

Active Apps Ads / Task Manager
Important Notice:
There is a built-in mechanism to prevent updating widget when you are not on your home screen to save battery. This in turn also cause no of active apps not showing up correctly. e.q. There is active apps shown on widget but when you open up it's not there. To prevent this from happening you can turn the update to 10 seconds or lower( Lower might consume a bit more battery ). 15 / 10 would be the most appropriate. Please email me instead if you have this kind of issue, i won't be able to reply from the comments.
As the concept is different from other Task Manager/Task Killer, Please read the Get Starting Guide and About Active Apps to get a better understanding on how it works.
Here is the description:
Active Apps is an application which monitor an unusual activity that consumes battery or tracking the application that has been put on standby mode. This is important because some application might not be coded properly. Therefore, even though it has been put on standby mode (Pressing Home) they are still running, eating CPU and hence your device's battery. E.q. browser and gallery apps in the Early Galaxy Tab rom even though it's closed or stand by, it's still consuming battery. However, the scenario is not limited to only Samsung Galaxy tab. Generally, it applies to all android phone.
How does it differ from other task manager?
Unlike other task managers, which shows irrelevant applications, Active apps is simple. It only shows programs that have tasks running and possibly consuming CPU. Therefore at one glance you can decide what to do.
- Tracking application that has been put on standby and running (I called them Active Apps).
- Easy Switch tasks for Active Application from Main Application or Widget
- Widget to show Number of Active Applications running which may consume CPUs/Battery
- Provide package manager to manage your installed application(Faster than stock Application Manager).
- Provide views of Ram, Apps that using RAM and free ram function.
- Provide view of Storage both internal SD and external SD, data and database.
- Provide theme capability - More theme coming soon -
- Provide UI Customization. You can mix and match color to find your desire look.
- Provide 1x1, 1x2 Active Application widget and 1x1, 1x2 Active Ram widget with stylish and beautiful pop up style.
- Provide a flexible customization on many areas of the application and widgets.
Featured on Xda-Developers: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/samsung-active-apps-widget-for-android/
If you have any issues pertaining to the application, kindly send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Changes in v1.3.5
- Switching pages is now much more smoother.

Three Rescue™
Losing your phone needn't mean losing all your content. For many of us, the contacts, photos and videos on our phones can be just as valuable as the phone itself – which makes it all the more upsetting if our phone is lost or stolen. After all, some things are irreplaceable.
This clever little app lets you back up all your contacts and up to 10GB of your photos and videos, so you never have to worry about losing them again. You can remotely erase contacts from your phone should it go missing, and there's an Alarm and Locate function to help you track down the phone if you ever misplace it.
To find out more, visit three.co.uk/threerescue.
The Three Rescue app is compatible with phones running Android software version 4.0 and above.
Please ensure that location services are switched ON in your phone's settings, so tracking capabilities can work.
This app comes with 10GB of photo and video storage for Three Rescue™ customers based in the UK.

The New Orleans Saints have announced signed restricted free agent long snapper Justin Drescher to a four-year contract. The team made the announcement Wednesday but did not release financial terms of the deal. Drescher arrived in New Orleans in November of 2010 as a rookie free agent and has played in all 41 games since then, handling snaps on field goals and punts. Saints punter Thomas Morstead was selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time last season and said the reliability of Drescher's snaps was a significant factor. Morstead broke the team records for gross punting (50.1 yards) and net punting (43.2 yards). On Tuesday, defensive end Will Smith and linebacker Jonathan Vilma agreed to restructure their contracts, allowing the Saints to get under the NFL's salary cap.

Howers Campground is located on the northeast shore of the scenic Deadwood Reservoir in western Idaho. Boating, fishing and hiking are popular activities in this remote area.
Please click here to view a great video of the Deadwood Reservoir area and for further information about the facility and recreation opportunities.
The campground is situated in a mixed-growth pine forest, offering plenty of shade. Summer wildflowers are abundant, and the campground affords sweeping views of the reservoir.
Because of its remote location, Deadwood Reservoir is quiet and unpopulated, making for great fishing for Atlantic, Chinook and Kokanee salmon, as well as rainbow and cutthroat trout.
Boating, water skiing, canoeing and kayaking are popular on the lake, and a boat ramp is located about two miles away at Cozy Cove Campground.
Several trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback and off-road vehicle riding wind around the lake shore and surrounding landscape.
From Boise, Idaho, take State Highway 55 north. At Banks, take Highway 17/Banks-Lowman Highway east to Lowman. Continue along Highway 17 over Banner Summit. Turn west on Forest Road 579 and continue into the campground.

About the Biomedical Sciences, PhD Program
Students enrolled in the Biomedical Sciences, PhD Program initially complete a one-year core curriculum, providing a foundation in molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and research techniques. Formal laboratory training in techniques and instrumentation commonly used in research prepares students for a series of rotations in research laboratories. The student then chooses an advisor and develops a research project, focusing on specific scientific disciplines in the biomedical sciences. The student's research is complemented by advanced courses. Identification of an advisor prior to admission is not necessary. Using cutting-edge technologies, our graduates are prepared to bridge the gap between discovery in the biomedical sciences and application to the art of medicine. They have gone on to careers in academia, industry and government, where their interdisciplinary background has provided a unique perspective.
Eastern Virginia Medical School is a growing biomedical research institution in southeastern Virginia and part of the area's largest medical center complex. EVMS has a number of research institutes and clinical programs that interface with the basic science departments. The integration of clinical and basic sciences is an important component of both research programs and the biomedical sciences graduate program.
About fifty EVMS faculty members from the departments of Microbiology and Molecular Cell Biology, Physiological Sciences, Pathology and Anatomy, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, and Radiation Oncology participate in this program. Applicants may contact the Program Director.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Phat tats: Artists build bodies of work as ink is injected into the mainstream
When Kelly McRae started inking folks back in 1996, Winnipeg had half a dozen tattoo studios.
Today there are 37.
No doubt nursing homes of the future will be much more colourful places as a one-time act of rebellion becomes an increasingly popular (and permanent) act of self-expression.
Everyone -- male, female, young, old -- is going under the needle. It's no longer a question of whether or not you're going to get a tattoo, it seems, but of what, and where exactly it will be located on the living canvas known as your epidermis.
Before you make an indelible impression, however, keep in mind that fashion trends come and go under the skin as well.
McRae, 41, can still recall back in the early '90s when tribal lower-back tattoos were all the rage for women.
"They were huge until around 2001. They started phasing out when people started making fun of them," says the artist-owner of Skin Dimensions on Corydon Avenue. "Same with arm bands. Now, when anyone walks in asking for one of those, I automatically charge them extra just based on non-originality," he jokes.
The rib-cage tattoo is the "new tramp stamp," according to McRae, while "Rihanna stars" -- the singer has a spray of them cascading down her neck -- bird silhouettes, Roman numerals and the written word are among the most requested designs.
"I'm a human typewriter on Saturdays," says the artist, who is booked up months in advance but welcomes walk-ins on that day.
McRae admits he's living proof of the importance of checking your work when you're writing in permanent ink.
Fortunately the woman who walked out of his shop with a "Mommy's Little Angle" tattoo came back and he was able to fix it.
Nadine Mitchell, a tattoo artist for 20 years and owner of Metamorphosis Custom Tattoo & Body Piercing since 1998, says there seems to be a growing trend where people get inked to commemorate a tragedy or loss.
"A lot of people are using tattoos as a way to feel and express their pain," Mitchell, 43, says. "Memorial tattoos have always been a thing, but they're even more popular now.
When it comes to text tattoos, she prefers to do "power words" (i.e. love, peace, beauty) and refuses to inscribe anything derogatory or offensive.
She advises potential customers to "really research" the words and/or images they'll end up wearing for the rest of their lives.
"There's two parts to getting a tattoo: there's the marking of the body -- the act itself and going through the pain -- and there's expressing yourself," Mitchell says, "and I think people sometimes get swept up in the act part.
"You can take down the print that you picked up at IKEA anytime, but this is something you're going to pay for and you're going to live with forever. And it's going to age. Over time it's going to shift and change, so listen to your artist's advice about sizing and spacing and body flow."
McRae, on the other hand, says his job is to tattoo people, not counsel them on their choices. Nothing is off limits, he says, although he does require a waiting period for customers who request tattoos on their face or hands or who want a spouse or lover's name written on their skin.
"I do have a conscience," he says. "If someone wants to get a flaming swastika tattoo, I make sure they're aware it's a political statement. For many people, it's just for shock value."
He may not censor, but McRae, who has around 20 of his own tattoos, does refer to hand, face and neck tats as "job killers" and reminds the would-be tattooed that you get what you pay for.
"Cheap tattoos aren't good and good tattoos aren't cheap," he says.
