fledgling tattoo artist
It has recently come to my attention that I’m not gonna be young forever. Someday, I’m gonna have to actually act like an adult. When i turned 25, i decided that i needed to come up with some decent Five Year Plans so’s i wouldn’t wind up a no-account, good for nothing, scoundrel, drunkard, scumbag man-child by the time i hit 30. somewhere on that list - between “millionaire” and “town mayor” - i decided i was going to become a tattoo artist. Steady work, good pay, lots of travel, fulfillment of art school dreams…
Well, its been a little over a year since, and I have my full rig set up and I’ve been steadily working on grapefruit, pigskin, and willing friends alike, as well as moonlighting as shop assistant at my friend Nate’s new tattoo shop, Thicker Than Water.
I can’t say i’m any closer to being the actual adult i aspire to be, but damn it, I’m gonna be a tattoo artist one of these days. Here’s what I’ve gotten done in the past few weeks. Click the pictures for larger images.
I’ve also got a ton of music/band/tour updates, but I’ll get to those later.
