I'm still here & alive. Since losing my job of 13+ years, the day I got back from a shoot, two weeks ago, I have been working my mother fucking ass off getting business up at the tattoo shop. I haven't had a day off since Nov 5th.

I went from 6 figures to none, in about 10 months time. It's been a wild year, very rough with lots of changes. Luckily, I have friends who had me booked most of this last week. (Thanks Tieranny for coming in & keeping me busy most of the day, bringing friends & booking more time over the next few weeks for multiple pieces.) The week before, I didn't do any tattoos. I was sweating, fo sho. This week was a life saver.

If I can keep the business up I am doing now, I should squeak by until tax season & tattooing picks up. So... maybe a good life change. It's yet to be seen in the long run but OK for now. Thankfully I had enough money saved to limp by a few months to get up on my feet at the shop.

I did have an offer or two to check out some local bars but I am attempting to use this stumble to springboard to a happier life & not DJ again. It's been a wild change working days after almost 20 years of night shifts, 16 at stripclubs.

I am backlogged in Photoshop due to my drastic life & schedule change.... Sorry to a few ladies. Luckily, most can't load their sets now because they have current sets in MR. However, I am now limping through PS and trying to get caught up. I've been working on a set since yesterday & I plan to have it (which I'd like to load asap) & another done this week. I've just been sleeping & working.

I've been so busy I forgot to get an invoice out for my last sold set... Jeez, Do I really only have a month from the day it went FP to send in an invoice? Damn it! I just missed it too.

Future sets. OK... So, I'll get caught up on PS soon. I was attempting to bust ass to be SG's SE or even Florida's photographer. I was traveling to get it done. With my current life changes, I am afraid I can not travel far to shoot sets. Maybe, I can do a 3 hour run... Orlando to S Georgia... maybe as far west as Tallahassee. If you come to or through Jacksonville or St Augustine, I'll shoot you, no problem. I also won't be shooting anyone for a couple of weeks, while I get caught up at work & so forth.

Sorry if I've been slack on getting back to people. Don't be afraid to stay on my ass, lol... I've got a lot going on at once.

I still want to shoot for or SG. Feel free to hit me up about it, if you will be in my area... Florida.

Casshas's set "Clay" comes out in about 10 days. I'll reblog before them with lots of pics & positive stories.

I should be loading some sets I shot with
Ryker, Toxic, Renesme (They all look so pretty in their sets) and I recently shot with... Ginary & Azera, who's sets both will be great from what I've seen. They are all such sweet, beautiful ladies, they made it easy.

I'm planning on a new one with Tieranny, Torye, a multi with Torye & Tieranny, a new Hopeful from Jacksonville TBA & of coarse LucySky... soon. I had to put them on hold for a couple of weeks. .. .. stay tuned.

Thanks again to everyone who had positive things to say & some who even made offers to help me out. It goes to show how awesome people can be. It seems my online friends were more supportive than the ones near me.

I PROMISE I will put up a real blog, shoot & get active on the site again soon.

See ya next time.
