So I've decided to go ahead with being my brother in laws apprentice. I've enjoyed being around the shop and chilling with the guys. So I'll be starting the process to become an artist. The naked chicks and the amount of money is pretty cool to. I love art and drawling as it is. So to make big bucks to sit in the AC and basically color all day sounds like a cool deal. My brother has been trying to get me to do this for years. I've drawn sketches for him several times when he's been behind. I honestly didn't realize how much they make. So that's the plan and I'll share the whole process from apprentice to my first customer. I'll always grow my one plant for sis, but if things get really good with this career switch I'll be selling Fuck Farms to a family member.

I've got tons of art books full of art. I've used everything from pens,pencils,pastels,and charcoal art pencils to do really cool shades pieces. I've even played around with paint brushes etc. The way it's set up now it's literally about being good with color blending and laying color in the skin. The new rotary tattoo technology has the guns almost the size of a sharpie. My brother has been doing it for a very long time. He bought the same computer system they use for 3D printing and CNC machines. He has it on what looks like a giant tablet but it's much much more expensive. So you can upload a picture and the software will break it down into layers. Plus you can use a stylus to trace the basic outline to get an exact stencil of the work. It sizes everything and allows you to see each color individually. Makes it nice on giant pieces that will take several sessions to be able to get the line work and the darkest colors done. It honestly takes a lot of time spent drawing out. Of course the human body isn't flat so there will be times that stuff will have to be drawn on. My biggest learning curve will be using the gun and getting familiar with how to lay ink in the skin. I plan on just buying a rotary gun and learning with it. The switch from the traditional tatto gun to rotary guns is a bit tricky my brother was saying. They're expensive but I'd rather learn with one from the start. Plus they are way easier on the skin/pain department. I was shocked how much better it was getting some work done recently. So lots of learning to be done before I'd ever tattoo someone, but I'm familiar with mixing colors and shading from drawling in my own time for fun over the years.

cool, didn't know you were into that. You know what would help you is actually pig skin its got the consistance as human skin, there is also what they call fake skin to you can get. I got a couple of rigs i play around with as a hobby. Still suck at it, but i'm gettng the hang of it...

Well momma just text me and said fed ex dropped of a giant roll of plastic and a few other boxes. That's Guna be my green house repair stuff. So I know what I'm doing tomorrow. I'm sure the other boxes are my wiggle wires and the holders for them.
I did order a wall mounted robo suck, but I highly doubt it already here. They are hand made when their ordered.

Yeah I was asking him about that and he said it works to get the feel of doing things with a tattoo gun, but the human skin is way more different as far as laying the ink in. He's going to let me tattoo him once I learn for a long while and I'll think of something cool for the tops of my legs to practice on. I'm honestly not to worried about it. Another thing about the rotary guns is there whisper quiet and there's no setting the needles up or putting the bands just right. Just hit the peddle and go. All the needles lock in the same. No difference between line work needles and shading needles. They all snap in the same. Again their not cheap but after getting tattooed by one and seeing the ease of use being at the shop, it's actually what persuaded me to give it a go. That and the bad ass program to make stencils ....lol

Hey, I got a red jalapeno!
And, a jalapeno with a red tipped penis.
And some reddening cherry peppers.
It's important to serve colorful nachos.

I love those jars of cherry peppers in vinegar for garnishing stuff. I love eating them with dinner. I also love the spicy cauliflower jars with carrots and onions etc. I have to buy it when I run out of the pickled spicy vinegar bell pepper,cauliflower,onion,carrot, and jalepenio slices that my Portugue family members make every year and pass out.
Mouth watering ..... Us Portuguese love our cumin and vinegar......lol

I was squirrel hunting with my dad one time and we came across this raccoon in a tree. Didn't get many squirrels that day. Dad decided he wanted a coon to eat. He raised up and shot it with a high brass number 4 shot 12 ga and the coon fell out of the tree. Along with it were six babies that got hit also. Killed them all.
It tore him up. He even cried a bit. He felt real bad. I didn't see the little one either.
I felt bad as well. I know they can be a nuisance but I don't like to kill something unless I eat it or it's absolutely necessary to rid the pest.

I actually buy small packages of hot guacamole to dip the nachos in sometimes. They don't always have it.
Paprika covered sour cream is good too.
We eat nachos a lot, simple and quick. Chicken, grated cheeses, sliced little bottleneck onions that I let fatten in the pots, multiple colorful hot peppers. Can't beat it!

My Dad gave me a baby coon when I was like 12 - his mother had been hit on a back road & he stayed with her until Dad saw what was going on. I had him a little more than a year before his hormones kicked in & he became unmanageable.

I dated this girl whos family had a "pet" raccoon. Same thing, they raised 2 until they got ornery, then let them go in the woods around the house. The male went completely wild, but the female would come back occasionally, but only to see the mother, it would get aggressive with anyone else. Then years later, a guy I worked with had a neutered male that was pretty cool, until it found alcohol, then it was a dick. Guy had to keep his booze locked up cause it would get hammered and tear up his house ... lol.

We all got one of those friends. My dumbass buddy had pet black widows by his bed, he used to say they know him. One day I was at his house and called bullshit. Told him to pick it up and pet it. He did, fucking idiot...
