time for new entry I took this from the one I made for our Taboo Brothers Professional Tattoos MySpace page, so the final part is explained by some horrible peeps trying to get jobs, I know it sounds maybe a lil conceited, even I had to start somewhere, but I claim having earned my stripes ina old school apprenticeship, for Dragon Masters INK, where I was drug from the coals of slumdum and showed how good it could be (then showed how one can fuck it all up with titty dancers and cocaine), I personally witnessed a few great artist start their career threw absolute bullshit, but it would've cost far less ruined skin if they did it a lil different

________________________________________________________________


As the days here at Taboo Brothers pass by, I feel more and more like we are truly family, me and my brothers (sister) …

Some sick twisted family who “could” possibly do each other…..No Homo…LOL
We push the envelope so much, I fear we brim failure, but we stick together and make it thru. It brightens my face to think if we can pull each other along this well now, how tight will we be in the future

For those who know me, that is something I don’t do, for me for years has been the future is failure, I believe people need to spend more time enjoying now, and trying to help make the world better now! Now I find myself stoically raising my head, and opening the eye to humbly look upon this rising sun

I kept my head down till now, not out of fear, or shame, but more that I found I can control more and protect what is important if I advert my eyes from that spotlight of success. The porch light that draws most of us to the door of failure

So from now on out its time to learn anew , for my new question of myself will be , was I holding back cause I was sick, of doing the same thing, no one wanted to take the artistic leap with me, customers just wanting the same bullshit they saw on Joe. Was I already burned out, at not making enough to support my career, struggling in my lazy ways , wishing the business would improve. Did I use the crutch of “I am sharing my knowledge by teaching, and helping others improve” that I fell septic in the pools of unchallenged art

Now onto more jovial marks, every loves a bullshitter Aye, ya know that jolly ole fuck, who feels compeled to exaggerate the facts in their stories, to the tune of , hoping to entertain or impress. Even better when they themselves haven’t done the math on the figures, or not educated themselves to know WHO they are talking to, these guys are normally harmless, well unless in drunken shame

This is harmful when this person is a unskilled tattooist, who is unemployed or looking to bust out. This is the difference between being a not so talented (but improving) Professional Tattoo ARTIST looking to be employed, and being a Cuthroat Tattooist who is just looking to exploit a seat to get some of our money and notoriety…

One shouldn’t show off tattoos done at home, or use these years to add to the “how many years” number that you rounded up just cause you think it makes you seem skilled or wise to the tenure. This includes any done while taking professional shortcuts like homemade equipment etc, or done while Tore up with some friends (not to say I don’t have some that resemble this but I don’t add that to my resume’

Also bad photos are the same as bad tattoos, as in THEY SHOULDN’T BE DONE, if this all ya got, then invest in a better camera, this is your proof, this is your trademark, that will be what they see, make it least able to be seen, and if all you got is your cell phone pics then I recommend you have the cell phone deactivated, cancel the contract and pawn it (your contacts will forgive you), with money you save buy a decent compact zoom camera (recommend Kodak Z612, Sony H10-Current), and take a few seconds to make this moment matter

Cause if you don’t care, I sure as hell do, when involves the scarring of innocent people who were not educated enough to not be tricked into being just another meat mark! For your wallet. I don’t specialize in coverup/Fixups out of my own choice , its cause some people need to simply be taught, how to be real about their ability, and not do things that they are incapable of fixing

And my space isn’t a good way to ask about employment, these things should be done in person
