Waters.

I once thought I could protect my Heart

by building walls for eternity.

I was a boy then, scared and naive.

To think I could keep all that water

from entering the Sea;

when all I ever did was build

walls around me.

Let them all be washed over.

Let my Spirit be set free.

I give you my Waters, these bones, this Vessel

these walls

are not

me.

Wonderful Wednesdays

I have good news for folks looking to get tattooed!.  Beginning in March I will be tattooing on one of my days of, Wednesday.  But it won’t be just a typical day of tattooing… The plan is that in the middle of each month I will release 4-5 tattoo designs via my NEWSLETTER (which you can sign up for via the “CONTACT” page.)   I will tattoo one of the designs (none will be repeated) on each one of the Wednesdays of the following month.  My typical $100 deposit and then “pay as you see fitting” rate will apply.  All you have to do is email us, and tell us which design you would and which of the Wednesdays you are available at 11am, I will randomly select the clients each month.  I ask for the utmost respect in NOT duplicating the designs by bringing them to another artist, and not posting ANY of the designs online (these like all my tattoos are intended to be one-time custom tattoos, this is NOT FLASH.)  I think this is a great way for me to get to tattoo some designs I am really feeling and to show my Gratitude for my Clients.  So if you would like to start participating in this process, sign up for the newsletter and at the start of the month I will release the designs, and we will see if this works!  I love you all and am so Grateful for you sharing in this with me.

Me.

Folks keep coming in for tattoos mentioning how they or their friends were interested in knowing what I “look” like.  I find this somewhat odd, as most things in life seem to be, yet understand where they are coming from; there is something to attaching a face to a creation.  So, here you go, a picture of me, in my front yard, happy to be watching birds.   This was taken during fall when our trees were showing us their true colors, so in their honor, here are mine.

I am happy to be a part of these Worlds we inhabit!
