bite the bullet man and pack up. find a shop with your own enclosed booth, get everything in your house you could need and just avoid people. i get in my mood sometimes and need to stay away from people too. otherwise id just bitch too much. just too much to bitch about sometimes. i screen my calls and close my door at home and do some painting, drawing, play with bruder, whatever it takes. im almost opposite of you. i hate the sticks. i need the city. yeah its full of input and opinions from useless people, but i need the convienence of certian things. i lived in the sticks for a few years and never been so bored. well, hope everything works out in your favor. hang in there and good luck!!
friday:

damn dude!! hope youre ok.
a co worker was trying to loose weight by riding his bike about 20 miles each way to work every day in summer. other guys at the shop doubted he would do it so the bet against him. i think it ended up to about 600 bucks if he did it. he had to pay them if he didnt. he made it till his last day of the agreement and on his way home from work that day, he got hit by a car! more that half way too. he ended up getting the bet money and a few grand in a settlement.
now we work together a a new shop alot closer to home, so now he walks to work. a few months ago, he got hit again while he was on foot. fucked up his leg pretty good. he got a few more grand this time. he got the money and right after, hes having major back problems that he feels are related. this guy is miserable. cant even stand up straight.
so make sure youre all good man. you think being all tattooed up, you wouldnt be so overlooked. put some ice on yourself and take some tussin and be careful!!

ok,
bubble tea is seriously the best thing ever.
especially the taro flavor, cold, of course. now, some people will drink their boba tea hot, and well, they know who they are, and they should know that that is sooooooo wrong.
and the bestest way is to order two at once so as not to take a boba break for the ordering process........y'heard?

Hatemail? Why are you getting hatemail? Bah, screw them. How often are you down in Atlanta? I may be visiting a friend down there at the end of the summer...If i go I'll definitely be stopping by the shop to say hey to Brandon and check the place out. Maybe even get some work.

tattooing alot of bikers usually means you go through alot of razors.

but besides that, all or nothing dominated the show......
hundreds of people in free t-shirts, double booth stacked 8 people deep, and everyone else just sitting around being pompous douchebags......
oh, and we won tattoo of the day every day. word...

Yeah, those boys at All or Nothing pretty much rock. Brandon is a great guy. I've met him a few times. He was also at Hope Gallery tattoo getting work done by Eric when I was getting my 'crow girl' tattoo on my hand by Joe...Good times.
Glad to hear everything is going well for you and All or Nothing. I've always loved your work. Maybe someday when I'm a little better I'll hit Brandon up for a job. Hehe.

well, we have all that shit here. it just keeps gettin worse. i learned to make the best of it and turn all that stuff into my amusement. especially the girls. they get treated just like they deserve. im a bad instagator. ive worked at a few crazy shops in the last 10 years. cant avoid it, its everywhere. i have a million stories.
my customers love the conventions and the contest. they get all happy and pumped to get more work done. so i encourage it on them.
i dont care to work them myself, but i do like the area ones as a vacation almost. through the years ive met some pretty cool tattoo artists and i get to hang with them and not tattoo. i can watch all you guys do it.
i was at the parents house today, the nascar was kickin out there. only when im out there do i see that many lifted trucks, dale earnhardt stickers, and cb antennas.
