Roadtrip

On my way to tn. Finally get to see my family. I am extremely stoked. Its been 4 years since i have been able to. I just can’t wait to arrive.

Missing Tori!

Well i got to spend the weekend witg my sweet angel Victoria. It is so hard not being able to see her as much as i want. I miss her more and more every day. It broke my heart to see her leave. I have my three oldest children that live with me full time but i still have that void in my heart with little Tori gone. She is my sweet angel and love her so much. But we had a great time just the two of us. I don’t understand how any parent could possibly go with out their babies around. Shame shame on their souls.

Art

Well i almost forgot about my blog this week. Got alot of my projects started this week. Did a little bit of tattoo work for an old friend.  Turned out really nice.  I managed to finish a tile project and a bowl that i was doing for an instructor.  Got some new ideas flowing through my mind and hopefully i can get some more spare time to start knocking them out as well. It feels good to actually accomplish some stuff.

Time off

It has been a long yet great weekend. I was able to spend alot of time with friends and family. My cousin was married this weekend, I hope that everything goes well on his behalf. All of my kids went off to see family and I was left in peace. Not something that happens very often these days. I love my kids and love being with them but every parent needs to take a break every now and then. I hope everyone else had as good of a weekend as I did.

Idiots!

This has nothing to do with tattoos but it bugs me. Friday afternoon i am sitting outside doing some yard work. It was a beautiful day and then some clown with his fast lil car wanted to speed up and down my street. Its 25 mph and i get sick of all these people that want to run between 50 anf 70 mph. I have called the cops over and over. It never seems to fix anything. I have kids and on top of that people walk this neighborhood all day long. I guess its going to take an accident before something gets done. Today, Sunday, the cops chase someone down my road at the least running 70 mph. Thank god my kids were not riding bicycles today.

Getting in the door.

Been doing alot of thinking. I only have a little bit longer with my college life, so i was thinking about trying to get my foot in the door at a Tattoo shop. Follow one of my life long dreams. Just another way to extend my art career. I have always wanted to own my own tattoo shop. Just something I have been contemplating for a while now.

Money is not happiness.

I have been watching several different shows on tv about tattooing and i have to say i am not very impressed.  It just seems to me that tattooing is not about the art anymore. Most of the people that I see on these shows do not show the heart you would expect to see in an artist. It seems like more and more people are doing it because they think its fast easy money. If i go to get a tattoo i want an artist that is going to enjoy what they are doing gor me,  not how much money they get out of my pocket for their crappy art work.

Face?

So i was on google just looking up tattoos and decided to look up face tattoos. Not something that i would ever consider. In my viewing of pictures i came across a girl that had her entire face tattooed. Needless to say it blew my mind. Not sure why anyone would destroy their face like this especially a woman but this one young woman seemed to find it necessary to have her boyfriends name tattooed all the way across her face. Just google “face tattoo”. Never in my life would i ever do something like that for someone. Insanity. I hope everything goes well in their relationship.

New Work Needed

Well I have been thinking about getting some new work done. I really need to get a certain tattoo covered up.  Lessons learned about getting someones name on you. But it is all good. Just gives me a good reason to go and get a new tattoo. I have been wanting to get one foe a while now, just have not had any ideas on what i want to get. I sat around and designed one that will cover up the missfortune that is tattooed on my stomach so I am pleased. The only down fall is how much it may cost me to get done. 

New Law

The state of Mississippi is trying to pass a new law to make it harder for people to get tattoos. The law is roughly states that any one trying to get a tattoo has to first go to a tattoo shop and decide on their artwork and fill out all the necessary paper work involved. Once this process is complete, you will then have to wait a total of 24 hours before the tattoo can be completed. I personally feel this is wrong and that no one should have the say in the matter except for the customer and the artist. this change will force artist out of jobs and cause shop owners to lose their businesses. People are not going to want to go through that much hassle. Its no one choice but the one getting the art completed. Of all the problems out there such as the drugs on the streets and violence and a list of many other items that deserve more attention, this what government officials want to worry about.
