Gotta have the right tool to get the job done.
I’m curious to know what this person’s profession is.

Gosh! It was my idea to get tools tattooed after i’m done with school! I want a sleeve with a caliper, electric tester, plyers, ect… :S
I expected nobody would had it… anyway It’ll be a custom work so even if it the same idea it won’t be the same tattoo.

If I had it my way, and dial calipers were just as precise as digital, I’d be all for them. I spent 400 bucks on the thing and it measures to 0.00005″. Dial can only really get up to 0.0005″

Woot! I’m a machinist fresh out of training. I prefer digital calipers but as a tattoo, dial is just sexier.
