salvador dali, picasso, heironimus bosch. do i think i will ever be as well known as those? no. not with the art medium ive chosen. you see, tattooing isnt really accepted in the art world. it seems to be in a world of its own. i recently attended a couple of local tattoo conventions, and i have to say, the world in which i work isnt really my world. so can i succeed in it? i guess so. but so far i havent conformed to the non conformity of the tattoo world. it seems the only ones who succeed, and i mean really succeed, are the ones who do. i originally fell for it though. the idea of making a living on the outskirts of society. you know, outlaw shit. turns out there is just as much bullshit involved with it as any time clock puncher has to deal with. depressing. i am tired of disappointment. its not just work though. for example, why did they make willy wonka and the chocolate factory a musical? fuck that. oh and i had chiggers once. so now i will say goodbye. even though no one is reading this.
