Finally Finished My Daughter’s Birthday Sign. She better keep this forever!😍🤓🤓 There are 4 million rhinestones in here, so it took me several nights to finish, but it is sooo beautiful. #diy #doityourself #monday #mondaymotivation #ava #names #namesforgirls #project #birthday #birthdaypresent #daughter #doityourway #doityourselfer #doityourselfproject #doityourselfie #doityourdamnself #bling #rhinsetones #glitz #beautiful #art #artwork #artsy https://www.instagram.com/p/BnjvJgCjpZx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w0k5puzbep3f

The struggle is real. As a tattooer just starting out in 2004. I tattooed friends and family, like everyone else starting out. A business card was the last thing on my mind. I didn’t get my first real business card till 2005 only for them to be void a month later as the shop i worked at closed its doors. I didn’t get really have a business card again till 2007. My mind set at the time was to hand make everything. I made more effort than any tattooer around me. Period. So i thought to make my own business cards. These stamps I hand made at the peak of my business card making phase. The first day i put out my business cards out. I was the most proud i have ever been. Leaving the shop that day my spirit was broken when i saw one laying on the ground. To make 1 card i had it down to a 12 step process per card. I would spend hours making handfuls at a time. Seeing enough of them on the ground felt like wasted effort. I made cards by hand from2007 to 2011. From time to time I’ll hand make cards. The last time was when i first arrived to madison in the fall of 2016. I’m currently working on a small batch for Lost Lakes. Till i can get my new cards professionally ordered. #dedication #dedicated #tattoohistory #tattooartist #traveling #travelingtattooer #travelingartist #handmade #diy #doityourdamnself #pride #havepride #effort #tattoo #tattoos #tattooer #traditional #americantradition #americantraditionaltattoo #lifestyle #boutthatlife (at Lost Lakes Tattoo)

It's amazing how people want others to do everything for them and then just sit back and bask in the glory of instant fame. Get a grip. Reality check. . . . . #work #priorities #doityourdamnself
