take two

Take two, is right. Well, after totally dropping the ball and my checkbook, I lost out on an appointment with Nikko Hurtado some months back. Something that I waited almost half year for and had to blow it off because I couldn't get funds together.

Well, the tattoo lords have given me a second chance because I've found the perfect artist for me and his style couldn't be more different than Nikko's. For a long time, I've wanted to go strictly black and grey but this is a method that requires even more research than traditional style tattooing. You can't really go wrong with a colorful and classic piece of Sailor Jerry style art with kick-ass color. Some people, like Sid, do it better than anyone but even the bad ones have a fun, old tymey look. Black and grey can go bad really quickly... What was supposed to be a cool piece of Los Angeles brand of tattooing, can turn into a shitty jailhouse tat done by your cholo cellmate if you don't take your time choosing your artist.

I'm trying to remind myself daily that Spencer Briggs is worth the wait. And he his. Unfortunately he does all of the work himself so getting a response can take a while which is something I'll gladly wait for so long as an appointment is at the end of that tunnel. Thankfully, he likes my religious sleeve idea and I really hope that he is excited about it. It took a long time for me to even get a call back to set up an appointment with Nikko because he wasn't taking any new clients at the time. I imagine it will be the same with Spencer because of his work load.

At least that will give me plenty of time to get my ideas finalized and funds together. Pics to follow in about 12 months...
