I intended to blog non stop this last year. I do like writing actually! A lot of what I was writing seemed too serious, many of my entries I just left in the drafts. I do intend on finishing that guest spot series! Lost Cove and Enigma blogs are coming. This place became a little more of a therapeutic space rather than a place for me to post and have fun.

I guess that’s coo though! I’m just gonna let this place be what it’s going to be organically. As long as you can “hear” the ME in my writing then this blog is serving its purpose.

Why am I popping on here after the long break? Well…. exactly one year ago I was starting my treatment and had just recovered from surgery, still hobbling about and getting to know chemo on our first dates lol. Now today, I’m getting prepared to hit the Philly Villain Arts Convention. This has been a show that I’ve wanted to participate in most of my career and now the shop is going. So just reflecting quite a bit. I’ve been tattooing 16 years, and I feel like I’m just barely getting a grasp on what I think tattooing really is.

What a wild ride. Tulare been with me the whole time! Even in Philly we got a Central Valley crew traveling all the way out to support! I’m grateful as shit for everything these days and I’ve been working so fucking hard to be the best I can be.

Welcome back, thank you for being apart of my journey, and I’m pumped to be apart of yours. Next stop Philly.
