commitment

No, not that kind. I'm just making a promise to myself via this computer that I am going to be more dedicated to finishing my tattoos.

I started today by making a call to Nikko and spoke with his kick-ass wife, Joanne. She said that he would be most stoked to do my Hollywood portraits and that it was a welcome change from the family pictures he does most of the time. Sweet. So after hearing my ideas, she said she would talk to Nikko because it seemed like it would be right up his alley and she would like to get me in sooner rather than waiting for all eternity, okay, actually until the middle of next year. I have waited FOREVER to get my Garbo and Dietrich work done. The main reason for that is since its a portrait, I wanted to have the absolute VERY BEST artist to do it. Money is no object and since cash is temporary and shitty tattoos are forever, I'm so glad I waited. Nikko is it.

I really want Sid to finish my right arm with traditional style work since it is my favorite tattoo style and I get nonstop compliments on his stuff. Not to mention just hanging around his shop is part of the fun. And he's already been awesome about squeezing me in and basically offers me all kind of scheduling options when he's in the shop. There is something to be said about being loyal to your favorite artists!

I'm just way too excited and I know I have to start posting pictures with this blog real soon. Its not that fun without.
