HUH?
How many of you can remember who you golfed with on a particular day in 2008 let alone what their demeanor was?
Think of the dozens or maybe even hundreds of people this 'artist' saw in July 2008 . . . I'll go ask the deli girl at Publix what I ordered back then.... yeah right!

The tatoo artist was likely interviewed early into the investigation, after it was learned she had the tatoo done. It is not typical behavior when your daughter is missing, in my opinion anyways. The tatoo artist would have remembered, because he said on the stand, they were friends. Maybe not every detail, but enough to recollect for the investigator.
Once they have the witness statement, the State Attorney brings them in to question them on what they know of the case and to put it into an official sworn statement. (affidavit) Then later the defense questions them about their statement during a deposition. Before giving their testimony, they are then allowed to read their deposition prior to testimony. That is a reasonable explanation for why he is able to offer the information from the day she received the tatoo. It is not like he was asked these questions 3 years later for the very first time.
PS - I always remember the names of fellow golfers who say right up front, NO gimmies!
