Well thanx God X-mas is over with!.... Back to the old Tattoo Grind .....made rent in 2 days,plus a lil langiape for new years partying. Walkin all over the boys who are too lazy to draw something for the customers, but some of these jokers can run you to death with the revisions on the art... if you let them. Folks can usueally tell when they're starting to annoy me and back off quick. Some you just have to tell FUCKOFF to & show them the door. I'll be damned if I'm gonna cut prices for ignorant ghetto slime just cuz there is a scratcher shop down the street. Had to tell one Canadian to take off 1st thing today.... Mel was irked,but I told him straight up.... " I don't cow tow to gangster scum".... and wouldnt you know it 5 mins later a nice black kid comes in and gets some Old English for the price given....with out squawkin.... and got a NICE TATTOO..... The last job of the night was a Cherry Blossom deal on 30somethin White Girls rib cage... she took it like a trooper & it came out exceptionally well!

Well.... X-Mas day in RVa. Not a bad month or TWO... yea I guess it is 2 months here now. it's slow season, but I'm still managing to pull out a few good tattoos a week,,,, plus a steady flow of the porkchop BS.... Tommorow is allegedly "The Bigest Day" All Tubes are clean & ready to roll....

well....it's been a month now in Richmond Va. just in time for the x-mas slow season. All in all though I havebeen much happier down here in dixie again. The quality of my tattooing is not quite upto 100% yet but much more care is given again,now that I'm back in an Official Shop. I'm running at about 85%...... and I've been sick on and off since I got here. The month of Nov,was pretty rockin,,,all things considered & I know this town enuff to realize that thingswillbe back on track soon. Oh how we hate this season ...... it just sucks. c'mon springtime!
