workink, working, working and getting ready for the Holidays....been getting fucking cold out here. Not sure if I am ready for all that. DId finally get some new ink though. New School Hardcore pinup chick on leg. Pretty happy about it.....got a Black Friday event in the works for the next friday. Hopefully itll have a good turn out!!!

Well long weekend behind me. First a spontaneous decision to go to Frankfurt Sat night for my buddies going away party and then we had the grand opening for my shop on Sunday with afterparty. Grand opening was a success. Met some new customers and lot of good friends came by, hung out and had a good time. It was nice to see who really showed support for the shop and who said they would but didnt show. So all in all a good weekend even though it fucking drained me. Been a zombie on my couch all day. Need to go to shop and clean all the stuff up tomorrow....Busy week coming up and my bestie Lisa is flying in tomorrow. Cant wait to see her

im back!!!!!! Been crazy busy and honestly forgot all about logging in here haha. Shop has been getting more and more customers. I ended up hiring a friend of mine who also pierces to help out with the customers and as well bring in his clientele as well. He specializes in tribal and dotwork which is absolutely something I dont do so it works out real nice. Besides that not much been going. Party and work. Finally picked up an old vw bug the other night for real cheap that I am going to restore and build up over time now. Gives me something to occupy myself besides running around partying all the time like a mad man haha

Time for me to play catch up on this even though I doubt anyone ever reads it haha, shop has been open for a month and a half now and it's going great. Been pretty busy since opening the doors, even though it's mainly still with my clientele I already had. Slowly but surely though, the word is spreading and I am beginning to get new customers as well. Still missing a lot of things for the shop, mostly decorative things though, the new webpage is currently in limbo mode because my good friend and web designer seems to be on a current streak of outright horrible luck. Hope she gets better soon!

Festival season is kicking off real soon. Still unsure if I'm going to make it to groezrock this year but I will be traveling to some other ones throughout the summer. The lineups they have are downright amazing, it's no wonder none of the bands I wanted to see while living in Arizona weren't having stateside shows- they are all bouncing from festival to festival in Germany haha

Spring time is here and loving it. It's so much more enjoyable here then it is in Arizona where it has already gotten past the 100degree mark!,

Hmmm what else........I have decided to tremendously reduce the amount of drinking that I do after a night that went horribly wrong at the end and left me completely melting down and saying the most fucked up and hurtful things I have ever said to a good friend of mine. Needless to say we still haven't recovered from those words spoken. That night was an eye opener though that made me reassess my current drinking situation and completely revamp it. It was hard at first but I'm beginning to get used to just not drinking at all when I go out, or if I do, to nit get completely obliterated......

shop opening is in full swing. Started painting it today, gonna have furniture delivered by the end of the week and then be open by the beginning of march. So pumped for this to finally all happen!!!!!!!!!!

Well I have finally narrowed my search for a shop space down to two choices. Now just need to make a decision on which one exactly. Gotta start getting things in line for the banks to apply for the small business loans and so on. Gotta appointments all week for work so it should be a busy week ahead of me. But looking forward to it. Finally will be busy for a while......

SOOOOO 2011 is beginning to look a lot like 2010 haha. Guess that isnt the end of the world. Went to the Deez Nuts show last weekend and it was fucking epic!!! Now it is time to go back on my apartment hunt and open space for my tattoo shop. Lot of other things to get done in order to open this business up but I am getting there.........

So it looks like me and some friends are headed to Berlin FRI morning for the weekend......I havent been in Berlin since I was a kid. I know it is gonna be so packed but damn it is gonna be some fucking fun...........now calling all Berlin ppl- where are good spots to go and party????

so new years is fixing to be upon us and I have yet to figure out what to do. Anyone have any ideas? I am trying to do somethign epic. Have thought about going to Berlin or Hamburg or Prague but it seems like every fucking hotel is booked up so that sucks.....................

So the Persistence Tour last Thursday was everything I hope for it to be. It was just fucking sick!! I had such a good time. My brother got kicked out during Sick of it All because he kept trying to get up on stage so he could stage dive and I had a 30min conversation with Buddha from Blood for Blood afterwards. That man is so chill it was tight. Had a long weekend of tattooing and partying and also found out that the apartment I was supposed to get, I am not going to after all. Or maybe not. Dont really know what is going on at this point. Started getting sick but that is prolly due to too many drunken nights running around in this cold ass german weather wearing a hoodie! So due to me being sick I havent done much but sketch up some new tattoo ideas that I am going to try and push onto ppl to get done haha
