This thursday, my grandmother finally found peace in death. She fought a long battle with emphazema(sp), and many times we wondered how she was still alive, and where she found the strength. One of the many blessings is she passed peacefully, not in bed, not alone, but at a favorite bar, doing what she loved, gambling. She left us with a laugh, and I will...

My condolences to you and your family. I know exactly how you feel. I lost one grandmother this past winter, and Rose is-- well-- we dont know.
Now that I'm working in the cities, I have gone from 4 days off a week, to no days off at all ever.....at least until I deal with my shop in wisconsin. The funny part is I don't really mind, so far.
Other then that I guess I'll be going to the tattoo convention in Chicago, so maybe I will run into a few cats...

This is it boys and suicide girls, I finally found a shop in Minneapolis to hang my tattoo machines. The Tattoo Asylum, a brand spanking new shop, with some very cool people behind the helm. This one is gonna work, no shady deals, no low balling on the cut. Just work, have fun, learn, make a buck or two, and all is well. It's about...

MN is too far. Jack needs to get closer to IL and his kids. Thanks for thinking of us though. We just need to get the hell outta this area!
Well kids the shit ass saga that is my job hunt in Minneapolis has taken another sureal turn. I was going to start this week. Then the Owner (randy) told the manager(joe) that if I didn't learn how to pierce I couldn't work there. When I told them I had no interest in learning how to pierce, they tried to talk me into it. Knowing...

Sounds like Jack! lol! He learned how to pierce when he learned how to tattoo. And now he's stuck doing it at the shop cause no one else can, and I up and started working a 'real' job! When are you at your shop? We'll have to come drop in one day, and bitch and moan for a while.lol
Yeah my punk ass finally got a job in the Twin Cites, it's at a shop called Ace tattoo. I think it has had a checkerd past, but the new manager seems like he wants to turn things around and I think I'm just the cat to help him do it. There are some issues with what I am being paid, but I'm gonna give...

good luck on the job.
i know a few artists in pgh that are in the same boat, though they are just young rookies. pgh has over 20 shops, so its hard to score yourself a name here. basically all that screams "good" are Don McDonald, Steve Morris, Chris Blick. and a dash of Sean McCarthy.
but there are those younger dudes that are doing up some wicked shit, just have little exposure and few clients that are willing to let them simply go at it and run. give them a section of their body to play with and turn into a masterpiece to give them a little foot in the door to start making a name for themselves.
plus-- shops with "checkered backgrounds" give little opportunity to these guys. its hard to get a place on its feet once it has a tainted name for any reason.
i'm doing just that for a kid, giving him both of my hips. i'm gonna check it out tomorrow. i hope to show off some magic soon.

Yeah...this area sucks. I heard a runor that an idiot opened a shop, or is planning on opening a shop across from you in Menomonee. Regardless of weather jack finds work first...we are so getting out of here by Sept.
Good luck in MSP

It's whip'em out Wednsday. WOW.
In other news, I might have a new place to work in my new home of Minneapolis. I'm not gonna say the name of the shop because I don't want to jinx it.
Other then that things are pretty much the same. Kinda boring.

Although money has been a little tight as of late. I decided to splurge a little. I bought a xm satalite walkman. I found it super cheap, so I had to jump on it......
I can't wait to bathe my ears in commercial free satalite radio.........droool.......

I know what you're saying.
I've been considering an apprenticeship to tattoo lately. this last weekend a good friend offered it up to me, so I am considering it.
I am a nursing student now-- that is a big switch. I am considering all my options though.

Plans?!! Whats them?
Nah, I don't give a shit about who gets into government, it'll still be the same old shit, just a different colour! Me and politics don't see eye to eye.
Just got back from getting my conch pierced at a 2.4mm... it fucking aches!
