jpegghostIt's the yearly tattoo convention!
We've all been getting ready for it, and it will be my first "walk up" convention. AKA, any Joe Schmoe can walk up and request a tattoo. I'm excited and nervous, there's a lot of big names there and really talented artists, I feel like I can't compare much but I want to believe I can do an okay job. I'm wedged between my buddy and the shop bully in the booth, which is ANNOYING but at least I'll have my friend on my left. I'm working about 12-13 hours a day doing tattoos, which will get me good money hopefully. The price of gas and inflation has been impacting the businesses lately, all my tattoo friends are suffering because aint no one got money.
There's going to be afterparties nightly so I'm going to need a lot of coffee and energy drinks in me. I sleep around 11-1130 but the convention ends at 11 so I guess I'll be up til 2 nightly. BLAH. There's a lot of cocaine at the after parties which I'm not excited about because I generally don't like being any kind of intoxicated anymore, so I'll be the square with a bottle of water lol
Hopefully I can make more friends and clients tho! Fingers crossed I can use my charm.
