Imagine a time in your life when everything you once held to be true or certain is challenged. It’s like you are shown a whole other world, and you have to make a choice to jump into it or be afraid of it. That describes where I am right now. It’s every. single. day…. Like I leave the tattoo studio every day, no matter how good or bad or hard or weird that day was, and I feel so thankful for everything I’m getting to witness and be a part of right now. I feel like one of those stuffed animals that’s been picked up by some giant crane and dropped into a new dimension.

All that to say, things are going well. It’s hard, and it’s costing me things, but I’m realizing some key things about myself and what I think about the world.

Today, I turned on my machine for the first time and started working on fake skins to see how the machine works. The first time I hit the skin I knew I was hooked.

That’s all, I’ll be seeing you guys soon.
