[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2663268, member: 1535"] meh, I would be that guy caught lifting weights or golfing or something anyways and end up in the can for fraud. I have some arthritis that is getting worse in my hands. Genetic, my mother has it too and I remember my gramma having it. Over 25 years of holding the tattoo machine and 35 years of guitar playing with almost 30 of those professionally hasnt helped. But thats about it, I can still tattoo but my main hand goes numb after a few hours and even though Im left handed I am ambidextrous and can use my other hand for a bit to give the other a rest, still, I cant just stop in the middle of a customers work if my hand goes numb so it pretty much ended me doing any work at it full time. Its actually just 2 of the middle fingers of my main hand that are the problem, they go numb then theyre dead after a few hours. So I just quit working in the booth some years ago and went over to managing our 2 shops and we've actually made better money with me out of the booth by hiring some great artists. My regular 6 month health checkups are a joke anyways for my size and age- low blood pressure (it gets too low some times so I have to take medication for that), low cholesterol, good strong heart (thats what ya get for not ever smoking and drinking lots of water and taking yer vitamens kids...), one bad knee, have some extra LBs but Im still in pretty good shape for my age and still lifting heavy weights and still boxing regularly.
