ACL/Avett Brothers, A Birthday and a lot of fun tattoos

So again it has been a crazy couple weeks. to start things off I’ve put a couple pics of my Friday at ACL (that’s Austin City Limits to those that don’t know) I normally don’t A: Go to festivals and B: get the time off to even attend the local events such as ACL or SXSW here in Austin, but the boss was kind enough to let me away for the day. Well the start of the day had me enjoying The Avett Brothers (of which I’ve been trying/wanting to see live for quite some time now) and I must say, it was well worth the wait, as they did not dissappoint at all and they played a good hour set so i was pleased. The first pic is from their set. the second pic is a guy that I met while waiting to go see Daniel Johnson, I totally forget the guys name but he got me super high and talked me into stickin around and watching a band called Phoenix (I guess they are French) (now I’ve heard these guys on commercials and elsewhere but didn’t know of them, but played a very good set) (and being stoned outta my mind probably didn’t hurt) (thanks again for the “POT” of Gold kind sir”) the third pic is of Kings of Leon, They played a hell of a set and were very fun to watch. ACL (as much of a pain in the ass that you are, i really had a pretty good time)

Now let’s get to the good stuff. Last week and this week had me Tattin my ass off, last week I did the zombie doll on an old friend of mine, and it’s not something that I usually like doing or even do very well, but i was very happy with the way it came out. Also last week had me Tattooing my very first “Rat Bones” (this is a tat that i myself would/should get and am surprised i never hand poked one in myself years ago)anyway it’s on a friend and was super stoked that she asked me to do the tattoo on her.

This week has had me busy doin some fun Tattoos as well, the “Mercy Cross/Swallow” was done on my friend Jon,   the Indian and the Skull were on some friends of  T.C’s (Paco’s apprentice/great friend) and all were part of the Sailor Jerry Stimulis Package… Finally The crazy tiger/leopard was done on my friend Jordan. Jordan said he wanted a Tiger head and gave me the freedom to do what i wanted, Well after tattooing a Korean Tiger on my friend Zeth (see my first post) a couple weeks ago I decided to do another take on the fabled beast. Well I was super happy to get to do something as fun as it and to have it turn out the way it did, well that there is gold my friends… anyway, yesterday had me turning 32 years of age (yeah I’m an old fart) and I had an enjoyable dinner with some friends (thanks to everyone that called texted or messaged me) I hope that the rest of the month has more fun tattoos in store and we shall see how crazy Halloween gets. hope to update again next week, untill then take care and please feel free to share my blog with friends…
