BY TOM WOLF NEA Service Stan Correspondent

Business hasn't been this good since the days of the last World war. For that you have the word of Charlie Wagner, ageless dean of subcutaneous reedlepoint, who has been decorating some of the tough est forearms in America for half a century.
 For 43 years he has worked in the same tiny-picture-filled cubby hole at the renr of @ barber shop front ing Chatham square-tatoo center of New York. 35,0Oo HEARTS AND
 6O,OOO FLOWERS
 Charlie talked while he worked His customer was 6 young seaman in for 25-cent forearm bouquet inscribed to his true love. A crinn- son heart already adorned his mus cular arm, but the girls name across It's center was now out of date.
 "You might think that they'd want some new designs these days Charlie said, outlining in ink for his customers approval the pro- posed floral creation. Charles strictly a free hand artist. He's in- clined to be bitter about newcomers to the business who must trace their pattersn. But with few exceptions the men still go for the designs that their dads liked" .
 Sailors take to ships and anchors Soldiers, though they are less tat too o-conscious than their seafaring colleagues, go for eagles and coats of arms. Some army men get their serial numbers etched into their epidermis, 50 they can't forget them (It's not cricket to ornament your self with your branch of service or outfit. If you ever were captured that might give laid and comfort to the enemy.")
 Both services are strong fol hearts, flowers, and memory pieces like True Love to Mother" Charlie figures he has dispensed some 36,00t hearts and 60,000 flowers in his time
 Business isn't as good as 1t used to be-" Charlie admitted. Maybe the novelty has worn off since tht last war. But business today Is bet ter than 1t has been for many years Last month, on pay day, I worked for ten hours straight and stil couldn't take care of all my GUS toners"
