Back on wifi Populous Ground! Finally!

Alright. I just got home from yet another weekend in Virginia. It seems like I've  been spending every other weekend there, but it was actually worth the ridiculously stressful car ride and lack of wifi.

Last May, I went down to be the shop boy for Philly Ink's artists at a friends motor scooter open house party thing. I was informed about 3 weeks ago that I was requested to tattoo this time around. 

Myself, my dad, Load, and his ever so popular Dominican, started our journey after work this past friday. As you most likely don't know, Load and his Dominican have a very intriguing relationship which makes it awkward to be in the same car as them at the same time, that, I won't get into today.

Anyway, We left the tattoo parlor at about, 10-ish. There wasn't too much excitement during the car ride up with everyone sleeping and all. Then! came the ever so popular " Green Light to Sexual Activity " talk. I've done it under the radar, but now, with the " Okay ", It's. On.

We arrived after 5 hours of driving in an uncomfortably cold Tahoe. Everyone's sleeping. So I'll follow.

The following day, I'm informed that we'll be leaving for the open house in 10 minutes! It's only 9 Am! I've only gotten 4 hours of sleep! And I haven't eaten! Hooray!

We arrive at the Custom Scooter Shop ( Bike shop ). With guns a' blaz'n. Not really. We unpack, and that's it, I'm on my own.

As expected, no one would even dare to ask me about a price let alone want a tattoo. Until of course, my ever so clever aunt comes up with an idea; " Hey dan, why don't you tattoo Liz ( a close friend ) so people can see what you can do. "

Brilliant.

I set up, do my business, and start the opening tattoo. I've never seen so many people crowed around me then I did that day. Rants of how the tattoo looked would spread throughout the building at break neck speeds ( Really damn fast ).

While I was tattooing Liz, The sign up sheet was overwhelmed with names requesting tattoos from me. I finished Liz's tattoo, looked great, moved on to another friend, Tracy, who wanted the same tattoo. Finished that. Now! The moment I've been waiting for! Time to tattoo someone I didn't know! Hooray!?

I was to do a small cross, about an inch and a half in length, with some swirly designs in it. Easy enough, Right?

After I put the stencil on; " It's crooked ". I make a new stencil, put it on; " It's crooked again ". So, at this time I'm thinking; " This is my first serious tattoo. Bitch! Sit yo ass down LeBron Style. "

Finally, I start. Then. It's done. Thank god.

I hammer through another 9 tattoos and 13 hours of tattooing before the day is done. Followed by some alcohol. And dancing. And singing.

The following day! We go extreme tubing.

Though I had to wake up at 8 AM to leave. It was pretty badass. We rented a boat, that goes really fast. And stuff.

Skip a few.

I'm told I'd be volunteering to go first.

Now. The concept of tubing, is to hold on to a tube, attached to a boat, doing 90+ mph. So, I go along with it. Before I know, I'm flying off of this tube time and time again. After 4 runs on the tube, I'm spent and It's time to leave. We get home, drink and. sleep.

Next day, I beat Resident Evil: 4 in 12 hours. That's it.

Next day, We leave.

We leave at 10 AM or so. But honestly, It wasn't that interesting.

kthxbye

Virginia Tattoo-Fest Prelude

So, as you may or may not know, I've been doing a metric ton of work to my room. I just finished the painting and removing of furniture that's way to big to be in a room the size of mine. Therefore, I haven't been able to keep up with the blog all that much. But, now I have some free time and here I am.

This weekend, I'll be inducted into the world of tattooing. I do tattoo as it is, but I'll be apart of an open house at Wilson's Motor Scooters, in Mineral Virginia.

To sum it all up, I'll be tattooing a bunch of rednecks before that go out on the 3 hour long Poker Run.

Unfortunately, the wifi is TERRIBLE. Seriously, I can't get the slightest trace of wifi, Edge, or 3G within 30 miles of the bike shop. Which means, I won't be posting any status reports. So what I've decided to do, Is write them down in the wordpad, then post them here when I get back in wifi central.
