Marines stepping up at noon

Had a great day did a couples tattoos for valentines here ya go but only got one photo so sorry it happens darn it..

San Diego bound

Here we have a young lady that’s already shown her will to get ahead and take the steps to go forward with her dreams and to grow a skill set that matches her sharp edge and a knack for learning fast. I have spent a few days as of yet working beside her and chatting it up picking her brain a bit to grasp her level of moving forward and I see potential in her as I have told her I appreciate her help and the fact that something drew me to meeting her at a odd hour of the morning. We had a great conversation about moving forward and building a life with the right tools. She’s got a good grasp on the crypto world already dove into that and did a few trades with me to pick up directional trading and nailed it. So I’m thinking the roads gonna lead her as far as she wishes to take it. Focus and determination at this point are the keys to that success. I have high hopes for all of you that have jumped in to the class and just want to say don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions as you know once your done asking questions or have none, your done learning that subject. Here are a few pics from last night after tattooing 3 hours and reorganizing and painting the shop after a year of it being rented and somewhat abused by the tenant. Laura stepped up did dump runs cleaned and kicked ass painting alongside me tit for tat literally and I can’t thank her enough. We accomplished a few personal achievements that are more private on her part but I have to say in the last 4 days she’s grown on me as a friend and shown me her will to succeed. Proud of you right now… The octopus’s is greased up so not as clear but after 3 sessions and close to 10 hours it’s about finished.

Aaron prince joins us to better his skills and wants to dominate the tattoo world and take home some awards.. I’ll comment on this outlook as it’s these kinds of attitudes that bring on champions and top notch artists that have mad skills and are not afraid to ask questions or absorb more to hone their craft. My boy Mike 33 Albaran came in with me some 15 years ago to exactly that and killed the industry taking home boxes of trophies from the start building up his shops reputation as the winingest shop in history in my opinion still to this day dominates the awards ceremonies if he attends a show with or without me. He’s stuck by me as a fellow and good friend always around but still a quiet humble father of two girls he had had to raise on his own and still manage to run a successful tattoo shop called Ink Fever a renowned tattoo studio now around 25 or 35 years old I think the 35 is more so the right amount. Been there my whole career. He bought out the original owner just before he approached me to coach him. His skill needs no coaching he wanted help maneuvering the tattoo expos and me being that guy he searched me out and got himself a mentor.
