Busy as can be out in the world. It's so nice to be disconnected and living in the moment.

Friday, day 4, a little work on the front of both thighs, then I'll be done for the week. Sleet and rain all day, so I'm staying in for the night. Plus my stomach is still a little unhappy from the salmon I had out last night that wasn't cooked well enough. I survived, but I'm ready to rest up some.

Do you know what's worse than a knee tattoo? A big knee tattoo that you can never finish in one sitting, so you know you have to come back to it again soon. Definitely testing me. Lol

Over a foot of new snow on the ground here. Still snowing and will continue through the night. Sounds like a problem for the morning though. Goodnight

Saturday, start of a much needed tattoo free weekend. It's been quite the week for sure.

My hump day is about over. I'll be busy for a day or two, but I'll get back to my friends when I can after. Be good to each other while I'm gone.

Nature smiled down on me today and gave me the perfect everything for a day on the water. It is appreciated.

Friday night, but I'm staying in. Trying to accomplish something here which takes some discipline and sacrifices. I'm setting myself up for success, so I'm fine with my decision. Enjoy your Friday, mine is wrapping up soon.

It is Valentine's day here. Feel free to spoil me. I don't want monetary things or abilities here used on me though. Send me a message and use your words instead, that's more meaningful to me.

It's Sunday and we are done already so we're closing up the shop and starting my "day off" early. I hope your weekend is going well and you're as happy as I've been lately.

This old house I'm staying in was probably built in the 50s, definitely not for the cold weather it's located in. The bathroom is usually about 40 degrees and doesn't have a direct heat source. Nothing worse than already having to jump in a cold tiled bathroom for a shower, then running out of hot water with shampoo in your hair still. I'm definitely awake now on my Friday.

Thursday, another day, another tattoo. Time constraints always make it more difficult. The tourist visa limits me to 90 days. 100 or so hours in that time, with other activities mixed in and time for drawing designs definitely makes for a tight schedule.

Tuesday is over with. The fifth of my six new tattoos has been outlined and worked on a little. Might start the last one on Thursday. After that it will all be coloring in. Still plenty of rawness and awkward sleeping positions in store while it all heals. Bed time for me, then it's hump day!

I love my friends, but why do they always insist on trying to kill me with alcohol? They know I don't drink, but I'm only in the country for a few months, so I have to play along now and then. I'm too old for this hangover nonsense. Lol

Woohoo it's Sunday, which is basically my Friday. A few hours at the shop today, then a couple of us are going out to dinner together. Enjoy your Saturday night.

Starting a snowy Saturday. I didn't sleep well at all, but there's shoveling to be done before opening the shop. Happy Birthday to my owner and all around awesome person Raven. Enjoy the remainder of your day.

People are asking about the new series of tattoos. I thought about posting them here when they're healed, but I think I'll hold off for a while. I'm not sharing this step of my journey with everyone. I'll save it for those that have been with me for years offline from here.

Hump day! I will feel like I've been humped by closing time, and not in a good way. Haha enjoy yourselves.

Tuesday morning. Starting a new tattoo today. Three days in a row for another fun week. I have 14 appointments within the next month. We'll see how many I need to squeeze in March as well before I head out.

Why the sudden influx of lounge invites? I'll have to update my About Me section or something, not that anyone reads those. Sunday has begun for me, time to get moving here.
