Morning,
Guys…
So, after I left
Dave’s, I went to the shop to see what the guys were up to. T’Bro was there by himself inking a sepia Virgin
Mary as a half sleeve on a guy. He’d
been working on it awhile, because he had the linework finish and was in on the
shading. He was trying to get as much
done as possible, because he had to get his kids.
Anyway, he
told me he’d given Tudy of Familia in O-Town the shirt we’d ordered for him and
that he had money for me.
Now, I don’t
consider myself shy and I’m always curious about the reasoning behind someone
getting a piece; however, after we introduced ourselves, he asked me about my
Rocky quote on my upper left forearm since it can’t be missed. I’ve been asked about it and complimented on
it. Then, he flipped the script on me by
asking me about mine, so I told about my Between Rage and Serenity piece and
the dog
bite that JUST missed it and the Rocky quote covering the top half of said
bite.
He told me
the one he was getting his only his second, and he was asking about my others,
asking specific questions about the “spiciness”, as Cal (RIP) would say, of a
given spot.
The
significance of this is that people rarely ask us advice or want to know
anything outside of our cripness, so him asking advice about getting inked was
new territory. I’m, by no means, an
expert.
It’s just he
thought more of me to engage me in convo outside, “Hi,” and pick up his phone.
Be good to
each other.
