Cool Job!


Finally found an awesome place to work. I have been blessed to find such a killer group of peeps to work with and enjoy it so much. I don't have to hide my tats and we all have a great time. Plus I get to hang out with cats all day!

If you are interested in adopting a kitty, browse our adoptions page please.

Learning to tattoo


My long term goal of being a tattoo artist has been put on the back burner for so long. I would love to have the time and connections to be an apprentice at some fabulous shop, but alas, that isn't in the cards so far. So, since I acquired the equipment, I haven't done much with it. Mostly for fear of fucking someone up by not knowing what the hell I am doing.

After practicing on fruits and fake skin, I did some initials on a friend a few months ago, which required a touch-up session and yesterday I did another; a set of boxing gloves on string. Getting used to the machine is the hardest part, there are tons of adjustments and figuring them out without some advise has been somewhat difficult. I am still learning and having a good time with it.

What was I thinking?

43things.com....

This was a lame goal so I am removing it. Joining a gym has nothing to do with being healthy. As if I don’t have something better to spend $ on? Yeah I want to be fit, but I know how to walk and own free weights, sooo…???

Inspiration from FreelanceSwitch




This is something I saw on my favorite time-consuming site: stumbleupon...

It's a list of sites for design inspiration. Even if you don't feel the need to be inspired, these sites really rock.


And if that isn't enough, there are 60 more place to get ideas on and offline.
