this weekend was insane. the san jose tattoo convention was a blast but at the same time i can't help feeling inadequate and depressed. i met a lot of great people and some strange one's but that just comes with the tattoo convention i imagine. there was a huge line for kat von d which is absolutely ridiculous...there was even a kat von d look a-like that had all of the same tattoos kat has but they were drawn on. jesus fucking christ...tv is awesome. i got a few tattoos and did a few as well.
i took the day off on monday because i was super exhausted and extremely bummed out. i had a nice chat with grez and matt about some people at the convention and how i can't help feel disappointed when i meet someone i admire and they turn out to be a complete jerk. also, the whole "being a woman tattooer" issue is difficult to deal with especially in a situation like that, not to mention being a pretty woman tattooer is even worse. they cheered me up though...they are great friends.
this week we hired a new tattooer named nick chance. he is fucking amazing. he taught me all kinds of little secrets about tattooing and painting. not to mention his stories about being a tattooer and working with DAN HIGGS!!!!! are you kidding!!! i was fucking freaking out in my mind but on the outside i tried to play it cool when he told me stories about dan. fucking shit, nick is incredible. we talked about religion, history, literature and anything else you could possibly think of.
i am really excited at the moment but something in my heart is still making me melancholy.
