Love getting invited to shows that appreciate my place in the tattoo industry. This guy I helped get insurance for his show some 10 years ago and still has never forgotten I helped his show get off the ground and invites me to all his shows to come and partake welcome to film and have a blast. I don’t ever go expecting to come out making a ton of money I go for the pleasure of meeting new people learning any new techniques or styles I may have missed along the way. Mostly to see my old friends I’ve known for decades worked side by side or showed me a thing or two and to some they pick up from me. But none the less this is my realm I helped build to what it is today and enjoy it to the fullest.. I have to thank my Ellen for making it possible for me to attend these events and love to bring her to which ever ones possible. So far 6 in since we began our relationship she’s gone to San Diego and had fun with me so look g forward to Havasu in May..

I love when negative people put us out there and things go terribly bad for them. I’m one to be negative but still find it amusing that people still don’t see their negative comments just fuel the positive ones to say good things if they know you and obviously the negative person has no clue our level of integrity or the backing you may have in that community or forum. Any free advertising is great if they put you out there just ride it out and be nice about it you can’t go wrong being positive and still tell them they’re idiots in a really nice fashion they don’t realize it’s big finger.. kill them with kindness I always say

I say math because it’s all numbers angles and pitches. I share this because I say it all the time “being a tattoo artist is like being a general contractor you have to know how to do all aspects of building to get opened up or pay big and trade anywhere you can for tattoos and labor or materials to achieve those goals.”
