my grandpops turned 90 years young today. im pretty sure every member of my family was at his birthday party, including myself, who was asked ONLY questions about my tattoos.
its amazing how much my opinions clash with those of my relatives. the only thing they wanna know is, "why did you do that?" Its hard to answer that question sometimes because the reasons are so personal and hard to put to words that you know they're not going to take what you say seriously anyway. its seems as though they don't really think i have much intellegence since i chose not to go to college, move to green bay, and acquire some ink. i've already accepted the fact that they will never understand me...and thats cool, cause hey, i still got respect.
mad props to my mom though, who is trying her best to be supportive of my decision to be a tattoo artist. she even tapes miami ink for me. im actually pretty positive im the closest with my mom now than i have been in the past 20 years. im ok with that. i love my mom.
