How Do Prisoners Get Tattoos?

Depending on the accessible materials they basically forge a tattoo gun and harvest ink.

Ink is most commonly made from soot. Pieces of plastic (from a chess or checkers set) are melted in a confined area, a piece of paper is held above the burning plastic to collect the soot. The soot is then scraped off and mixed with lotion or baby oil. Thus creating your ink.

Needles are made from the spring inside a pen. The spring is unraveled and sharpened, then wrapped with thread to hold ink.

What Is The Biggest No-No When Being Arrested?

what not to do when you get arrested

Criminal defense attorney here. Allow me to share with you my personal top ten “don’t do these when being arrested” moments, all of which I have personally had to deal with from clients.

  1. Don’t resist arrest. When the handcuffs come out, you cannot talk your way out of the situation any more; cooperate, and things will be much better for you.
  2. Resist the temptation to “explain yourself” to the officer on your drive to the station. They are recording you — and this can be used against you. Just be quiet.

One had to be able to memorize long-form poetry, tailor jokes to fit the crowd, tactfully tease your patron without committing offense, and zing guests that your patron wasn’t fond of.

You had to play instruments, sing, dance, perform acrobatics, and design and maintain your own motley.

They would learn puppetry, ventriloquism, juggling, balancing, and slight of hand.

How Do Dividends Work If I Buy Stock?

Dividends are actually quite simple, they’re just a cash payment to the stockholders.

For the most part public company’s that are making a healthy profit will keep that profit and reinvest it either in R&D or in acquisitions, but sometimes they give a portion of that profit directly to the shareholders – thats a dividend.

Typically if a company decides to pay a dividend it will be either annual or bi-annual, and the payout will be X% of the share price. So if you own 100 shares at a value of $10/share and the dividend is 1% you’ll receive a payment of $10.
