its been a while huh? well, i started working at Immortal Ink Tattoos and im so fuckin happy there but iv been super busy. i have sooooo much to blog about ugh. i wake up, go to the shop, come home to eat, shower and sleep then its back to the shop. but im not complaining. i love my job, my boss, my manager, my coworkers, the customers... its all awesome. i couldnt dream of finding a better career suited for me. its not even like im working, im just doing what i love. i have never been so comfortable or happy working anywhere in my life. this is what iv been looking for, this is what iv wanted! on the 6th i started my apprenticeship yayyyyyyy! now im officially a PA(piercing apprentice). and if you know anything about me its that iv been trying to finish that for a couple years now but i used to travel too much so i never had time to train/work for a shop. i fuckin LOVE it. i do, i truely do and im so happy.
Aaron(the manager) did a tattoo on me last week. my first black and grey piece.
what do you think? isnt she a sexy bitch
then Larz the owner(who did my first hood piercing a couple months ago) did anothing hood for me a few days ago. so now they cross and it looks really pretty, i think its kinda hard to walk lol but they are healing up fine.
last weekend we all went to the central valley tattoo convention. it was small but i think i had more fun at it than any other tattoo expo i have gone to... prolly because i went with my tattoo family
me, Beth(larzs daughter/artist), Larz(the owner/artist), Shannon(larzs wife/artist), Brit(Aarons wife/artist) and Aaron(manager/artist)
this dudes table had the coolest displays... old tattoo machines and stuff
at the first table i started flipping through an album.... i came across this picture and had to stop. srsly guys, whos that look like?
cool paintings
heres a few pics of some tattoos entered in the contests, my bear edward took second in small color to a freakin owl. dude, everybody knows bear vs owl, bear always wins... but w/e lol
i found this one chick, Laura Rosario, that specializes in small tattoos. i didnt have the money to get one but she said shes going to hell city so hopefully i can hook up with her there. Aaron and Brit decided to get tiny tats from her. they look awesome.
tiny yoda!
tiny mistfits skull!
they both have healed and both look great! maybe a few years from now it will look different but for now they are pretty awesome.
and some pics from her album i was super impressed with
people always say no when my friend asks for this kinda ring tattooed so i took a pic to show her its possible
shhhh, i took pics of flash.
but i srsly want these!
other then work and the convention not much else going on. i have been trying to do at least one crafty thing a week. something i have always wanted to do is a body painting. i took finger paint and tried last week on some poster paper. next time im going to get better paint and do it on white sheets. im excited but idk when ill have the time.
oh and you dont have to worry about me and my dad anymore. i finally got him here, we are trying to find an apt. quickly but david said we can take our time, no rush. im so grateful to have a room mate as sweet as him. as for my hubby things are still a bit rough. we talk on the phone now and i told him how ill always love him but im not always going to be here waiting. he said hes coming back and he doesnt want me to give up on us, that he just needs a little time to make enough money so when hes back we can get a place and a car right away. im not holding my breath but its nice to know he wants me and is trying. we'll see...
you're prolly wondering what he looks like now... i know iv kept him secret up until a couple of weeks ago when he left so you know nothing of him. his name is Chad and hes actually 20years older than me haha. yep. i love older guys, always have. anyways heres a pic of us last christmas.
some people say he looks like William Fichtner. i guess i can see it.
i think thats enough lol, your brains are prolly tired. i know mine is. plus i gotta go to work guys. i miss you all sooooooo much! you dont even know. i havent replyd to mail in a couple weeks. im going to try tonight when i get home, thats if david is up and lets me use his computer. im so sorry for not getting back to you guys, i hope you understand.
lots of love!!! stay classy SGland. i love you
