Video TimeLine (for skipping ahead):

01:28 -- I jump over the waterway at the Flint Intersection from Los Santos into Flint County

03:47 -- I arrive at the Tattoo Parlor in Hashbury, San Fierro

05:45 -- I meet Katie at the Avispa Country Club

07:29 -- I get into the Maverick at Easter Bay Airport and start heading toward Ganton

This is a simple demonstration on how to get tattoos at the very beginning of the game in San Fierro. It also demonstrates how easy it is to obtain Katie as a girlfriend.
NO CHEATS and no mods were used.
This is a completely legitimate game.

There are no edits in this video... what you see is what actually happened.

It's nice to have Katie as a girlfriend at the beginning of the game because you won't lose your weapons after being wasted.

The tattoos aren't necessary, but it's an interesting way of saying that I've already been to San Fierro and here's the proof.
:)
Also, the tattoo parlors in Los Santos aren't open yet.

Here are the details:
The video starts off as a brand new game... Tenpenny and Pulaski had just thrown Carl into the alley in Jefferson; none of the Story Missions have been done yet.

After that I killed a drug dealer and got about $2,000 from him. I also got body armor and tear gas from two different locations.

I then went to the outdoor gym on Verona Beach and built up Carl's muscle; that's because Katie only dates guys with muscle, which Carl doesn't have at the beginning of the game.

From there I drove a Flash directly to Flint Intersection and jumped over the waterway, and headed to the tattoo parlor in San Fierro.
