Todd Bass, right, of Carbondale, has a laugh while working on a tattoo for Lex Dietz, of Ava, Wednesday at Triphammer Tattoo in Carbondale. The tattoo Bass is working on is a paw print of the first service dog Dietz trained for her company Sit Service Dogs, that trains and places service dogs with people who have physical disabilities. Bass, who has been in the tattoo industry for 12 years, co-owns the parlor with his wife Rebekah.
