living dead

holy batman! this weekend was intense. words can not really describe how i feel right now. well, lets try....  like that feeling of trying to squeeze the last bit of toothpaste from the tube, yea frustrating but you know it will be rewarding so you give it your all. this weekend was non-stop, 12 + hours friday, saturday & sunday, not going to bed till 2 and having to have my game face on while still trying to soak everything while also talking to clients. but man did i learn so much and i really am soooo thankful for the experience. it was like apprenticing on drugs but the good kind. my boss told me i can start tattooing on a watermelon next thursday, eeeeeepppppppp!! i can't wait!! it is all happening so fast and it is sooo exciting. i can't wait to share the experience with you all. i didn't take many pictures of the show, it was a lot and i always feel weird taking pictures at places like that but i will share soon.

i am gonna try and take a hiatus this week just to cool off but will be catching up on all the wonderful things you all did this weekend so i can vicariously live through you all. i don't have a day off till this coming saturday so this week is gonna be really rough for me. send me your love and encouragement, i'll need it! missed you all!

  5. Good luck with your watermelon! Once you're tattooing people I will have to get a banger from you if I'm in the bay area.
