My cousin owns a tat shop..He has told me some horror stories of his aprentiship,he said he started out doing the piercings that the other guys didn't want.lol...

A lot of the younger kids will only tatt their own designs, will not fix or touch others work, or duplicate an Image. I on the other hand am the working man’s tattoo artist. A lot of the people I tattoo on are lucky to get a tattoo a year. Most of them have an image they have been carrying around for a long time and are pretty set on it. They don’t need someone to change your mind or have time to wait weeks for someone to design something. Being as I do this job to make people happy, and not stroke my own ego, I will gladly do whatever they ask. If it is to copy someone else’s work that is fine or draw a custom one. Long story short I ripped off one of these pretentious art fag kids designs and tattooed it on someone. I did not claim that it was my design but did post it online. He asked me to remove it or get blasted and I basically refused. Most of my life I have thrived on conflict so resorted to that initially. Needless to say he got all his art fag friends to attack me. Realizing I was probably the one being a dick I did eventually pull it down. Then messaged the guy and apologized. A good verbal haircut every once in a while is good for the soul LOL.

A good looking canvas goes a long way. Longer for some men than others....

I definitely have more horror stories from piercings than tattoos. People passing out, throwing up, all kinds of rancid smells. You name it!

He said that taco was full of cottage cheese. Did one big wipe, held his breath and went in. He says “how do you tell a deaf chic her pussy stinks?” Best part had to be the telephone call through the translator before hand.
March 24, 20196 yr Been checking out my truck before I sell it. Spark plug gap on the first plug was 0.100. A bit over the factory 0.040
March 24, 20196 yr Damn, whomever changed the plugs last time was lazy AF, wrong plugs, or the electrode wore.
March 25, 20196 yr Electrode wore is my assumption because the lat one to change the plugs was me! all of them were horrible, except for 1, which was 0.055 One of the 0.100 ones
March 26, 20196 yr Damn mirrored finish on that. Awesome work sir. The meticulous attention shines! Well done.

March 26, 20196 yr Thanks guys. I make the paint as perfect as it can be before applying ceramic. Every car get the same treatment.

March 28, 20196 yr Went in to academy to buy shotgun shells, walked out with shells and a pair of maui Jim's.
