Reasons behind keeping this blog...

I wanted to properly document my apprenticeship through photos along with paintings and art work I'm getting done during the process. Since I hadn't thought about this earlier, I decided to update with previous dates and photos so I can chronologically keep track and see my progression as an artist and tattoo artist and study this trade a bit more seriously. :]


I'm watching a re-run of the VMAs so I'm very distracted and at a loss for words at the moment hahaha. So distracted... Fuck Jay-Z, Beyonce is a classy ass betch, and Taylor Swift is hella cute (even though her music is ehhh). <3

Today I got to tattoo my friend Krystal's, whom I convinced that I let her tattoo an homage to her mother on her arm... here's a portrait painting that I did of her mom, Miriam (Rest In Peace) back in May for her service followed by the tatt itself :]




















Rest In Peace, Miriam Elizabeth Sanchez...
