Remember Halloween!
My phone was recently lost/stolen and it’s actually a nice break not to have one and having people call, text or e-mail me for while. I mean I’m pretty sure people are doing that I just have no way of getting back to them. That will all come to an end next week once I get my OLD phone turned back on until I can afford a damn PDA..
The Halloween event I was talking about has now been confirmed. All of us at the clown are really looking forward to it and hopefully things don’t get out of hand. We will be offering Halloween tattoos starting at $20.00 and there will be couple of designs to choose from. Since my apprenticeship quite a few of my friends have been wanting to get some work done by me, so this should be their chance to show how hardcore they are by sporting a Halloween tattoo. The event is an all day event and the earlier you show up the better. No appointments are necessary and everything will be based on a first come first serve basis. check back for more info and updates
I began piercing recently and it seems to be going well. I’m still getting the hand of it but I feel comfortable doing then procedures. I am also learning the horrors in it as well. in the past two weeks we have had several people show up with piercings gone wrong which were of course performed at other studios at a “discount price”. The most horrific one was a young girl who had her tongue pierced the day before only to wake up to a swollen black tongue. The one coming in second was a girl with a lip piercing, The shop she received her piercing at used the wrong jewelry to cut cost and ended up almost crying. her lip swelled and the bead was swallowed by her lip. After having someone with over 20 years experience try and resolve the mistake she ended up having to go to the emergency room to have it cut out with a scalpel out and sewn back up. I was unfortunately unable to get photos but here’s something as equally as disturbing, just picture it darker almost black…
The studio recently let go of three employees, which I was pretty bummed about at first but now fully understand. Their work ethics had spiraled down and they where putting out some not so great work. I see it as not so much personal but business, after all it is the studios reputation at hand. The studio is now in a “rebuild” mode which involves making changes and adding some new GREAT artists that are able to meet the high standards required in this industry.
The other night I witnessed something pretty shocking, three men held up four men at gun point over the money in their wallets. Not only was the act idiotic but a sad reminder of the power of money. The shocking part was they fired. I didn’t see if any one was killed or hurt, but just knowing that there’s people who will kill other human beings over a couple of dollars is sad. Human life is priceless and if your in serious need of some money get a damn job like the rest of us. The shock of the incident was soon outweighed by the anger over lethargic attitude of the Fort Worth Police, who it took over an hour to arrive. I guess there must have been some crazy incident of greater importance than a man possibly being shot, which caused the delay. anyways this is neither the actual officer nor even the same police department, but I CAN’T say that this is NOT what they may have been doing.
on 09/25 I took a small break and went to Turner Falls OK. with some of my family. It was nice to get away from everything for a short while, and I even go to take some cool photos. The trip up there was a bit boring and made me realize how lucky I am to live in Texas. When we got there my uncle, cousin and noticed we forgot our swimming trunks and had to go on what seemed like a mission to try and get some. We drove into what they referred to as “town” and after not being able to find anything stopped at a convenience store to ask where we could find some. As it turns out the nearest clothing store “Wal-Mart” was about 30 miles away and we had no choice but to make the drive. I guess with everything aside the trip was still fun and I found out Oklahoma is not such a cool place to live.
