Joeys Ideas

Well let’s see here.  Been doing the whole Face Book thing…..stopped the MySpace deal..sorta.  Just dont go there too often so to me I consider that “done”.  Anyhow  hitting 1 yr tattooing with electric coil machines.  Spent 6 yrs doing single needle work…coloring, shading, lining…ugh.  I dont have any pix of my single needle work up.  Only coil machine work.
So I get ripped off on ebay for a MS machine I wanted.  I get a refunded since the fraud case was in my favor.   The next day I meet an artist who is a former shop owner and shop worker…etc.  And after a very sincere chit chat with her I walk away with 2 machines.  And I used them that night after giving them a complete wipe down(sterilization) etc.   Man huge difference from the machines I had built and had been using for most of the work you see on my dot com.  Totally worth it.   The thing I keep playing over and over in my head is how she said I reminded her of someone. And this individual is a shop owner and very talented artist.  I was honored, yet intimidated at the same time talking with this very humble individual.

She opened my mind on a whole different level I’ll say that much.  No matter how much one may think  there is always that possibility of someone else coming by and saying a few words and opening your mind to allow you to understand things in a different view.  If that sounded confusing….its ok, I’m still mind fucked about the whole thing.  In a good way of course.  Anyhow I’ve put up some more artwork in the Tattoo Gallery section and I’m going to be creating another section for my other artwork that doesnt find itself on paper or skin.  Stuff I’ve done on shoes or skateboards….etc.  Look for that soon.

Also been looking into more information on the business side of tattooing and to see what it might take to get more involved.  I’ve always wanted to be directly involved with that aspect since I was 15 yrs old.  Guess the break I had to take from tattooing kinda put me behind, but I still believe I have time to achieve my goals and dreams.  Call it what you will, but the whole “after school special” service announcements I used to hear as a kid “you can be anything you want” still lingers in my head and heart.  I’ve always wanted to work in a shop and eventually own my own studio where I can hang all my artwork and share others who want to display there for a showing.  Ya know people who are trying achieve their own hopes and dreams.   yeah…..I’m a “Dreamer” so I am always day dreaming and it usually has to do with Family first, then tattooing and everything else i’ve read or seen or experienced.  You got your goals…and I got mine…….(to be continued)

Well….been over a year since I’ve posted here. Prolly cause the other parts of my web site keep me busy. From spreading my artwork to trying to get published in Low Rider and Tattoo Flash and a book by famous artist Mike DeVries “Cranial Visions”. I submitted my art and they liked it and asked for me to sign a release waiver. Soooo….hell yeah I sent it back in to them! So look for me in the upcoming issues of Low Rider Arte’ and Tattoo Flash and the book by Mike Devries “Cranial Visions”! All with in the next few months is what I anticipate. Also look for my art on skin near you lol

so much stuff has happened since I originally created this blog. Moved homes twice thus far. Now getting ready to move again. Aaaah life, how it can kiss you or fukk ya to tears. Life is life I suppose and we’re supposed to make the best of it. And we try but sometimes people can ruin that……..due to having issues themselves for the most part.

Anyhow…I’m just writing to take up space…lol I needed to update this thing. Oh yeah btw I got back into tattoo’ing. I’ve always envied those who were and are tattoo artists. I had to get back to my first passion. I used to examine and question anyone that worked in a shop. I used to pick their brain…only cause there was no internet and web pages for info back then…all magazines and catalogs. Nowadaze you got all kinds of tattoo artistry info online….like holy shit. But at the same time you got all kinds of people picking up machines and tattoo’ing all their buddies and then wondering later on why they have a big worm scar on their arm or have no knowledge of BBP’s and CC ethics. I guess I should say I understand cause everyone has to start and learn somewhere…..but still. Be safe and play nice ya know. I have always treated people the same way…..as if they have every disease known to man. No offense….but when dealing with the mechanics tattoo artistry….you have no choice. Ok anyhow…….I’m done typing. Shaaooo!

Wow….well I wanted to test this out.  First…I created a database….then I configured it.    Then I DL’ed the WordPress package…..edited the required file….renamed…..copied stuff over to my server……then logged in…changed a partial theme with some of my own files.   And then BAM!  i’m here  lol

Well I’ll blog later I suppose…not much to say right now.  This was my first time ever messing with Word Press…..so the more I check out the coding and formats….etc.  I’ll let you know and start to implement changes.
Until then….I’m still on my dream to creating my own designs for t-shirts and getting discovered one day lol
