the good, the bad, the annoying

my mother is fronting me money to "finish my leg piece" or that's what i thought was going to happen. i called wil earlier to make my 6th fucking appointment, and stated "so this will be the ender, huh? we'll be able to get out the octopus, and coral to finish the piece?" he responds with, "i don't know, have we done the light source for the octopus? i can't remember... could take a while; we'll see." at this point my frustration is peaking. im seriously considering someone else to finish the piece after this next appointment. i've spent waaaaayyyyyy to much money on this already, and i no longer feel elated when i get an appointment to get it tattooed. it took him 6 fucking hours to color the diver alone, and at $600 for a mere 6 hour sitting i cannot afford this. every time i go in there he is re-outlining things (what the fuck, the lines are already solid?!) and taking 15 minutes to pull what he wants to use for colors. he doesn't have anything planned in his head about the piece, he just waits until i come to see it - work out it - and tell me, see you next time, hope it's soon. it's been well over a year since i started the piece, and would not have done so, knowing it would take him this long to "power it out". he says after 6 hours his eyes get tired so he won't work longer. i say finish the piece, i work for bull moose, make shit for money, and live on my own.

help a brother out, or get off the fucking high horse.
