12:33 am: Tattoos today were just not happening. Man, that'd be terrifying.

( Kevin )

11:18 pm: ( Private )

Be cool.

08:58 pm: I've been inspired.

Think maybe I might paint the windows in the parlor. Should look pretty good when I'm done.

09:35 pm: Dude wasn't that old, but he assures me this is totally inaccurate. It's so much fun when the voice in your head nitpicks the crazy-ass antics of the city you live in.

11:54 pm: Couple of my friends seem to be having a good time lately. It's nice when the world decides not to kick your friends around, you know?

12:12 am: So I was thinking. Anyone else disappointed they couldn't get that last seven on film? Because I think my little helpers would have made a great YouTube clip.

09:13 pm: This whole healing thing?

Very handy.

Really really very handy.

I hate box cutters, by the way, even without any permanent scarring. I also hate one of my coworkers, who is a jackass who thinks it's funny to sneak up on a man who's opening a box with a box cutter.

01:12 am: HAH!

This time I fucking well knew about Chubby fucking Checker.

If you're out there, Boyscout? I won this time. So there.

Special tomorrow only. First five customers to come in get a discount.

I'm feeling generous.

11:57 am: Call me a grinch or a scrooge or whatever, but I just don't get into the holiday that much.

Yeah, the parties are fun, but the holiday itself? Whatever. I'll be celebrating on Sunday night with a bottle of good booze.

11:45 pm: I have never had pens this awesome. I'm almost scared to use them. But they make me want to draw, nonstop. It's one of those things. You know, like a catch 22 or whatever.

So okay, I'm a tiny bit in the Christmas spirit I guess. But I'm still not doing seasonal tattoos.

10:44 pm: One holiday down, two to go.

10:40 pm: You might be surprised, the number of people who come in for ink on Thanksgiving.

Or not. I was the first time I worked it.

12:12 pm: Today really needs to be over. Yes, already. Yes, I just got to work an hour ago. No, I didn't get to sleep in. Damn it.

08:54 am: That could have been so much worse than a drunken poet mouthing off in a series of bars.

( Josie )

11:57 pm: Last seven = sad Mark.

I pray I never see something of mine here. But then, I'd never tattoo Patrick Swayze on anyone. Anywhere. Ever.

10:16 pm: I've had three calls asking about Lego tattoos.

Yeah. That's going to be a lot of fun.

11:37 pm: ( Private )

Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.
