The Latest.....

And as predicted.....
If I WANT the job its mine just gotta call and give the thumbs up or down.
Here's the beefy part, I DON"T WANT TO WORK IN RESTAURANTS ANYMORE! Tired of smelling like food, Tired of assinine people who have absolutley NO clue what they want or expect, Tired of FOOD in general (I can already do the hula hoop with a cheerio.) I'm never hungry and I get tired of serving the same slop arranged differently to the same tired ass people.......SO!
I think I'm either going to re-train in another area OR seek assistance with schooling or apprenticeship for a "Skilled" trade ANYTHING but work in another restaurant.... (My Ideal job???........Work for the DNR!.....yeah, right.)
But that is the plan so far....Now on to other topics......had a several hour talk with the shrinks office and have an appointment next wed. at 10:40 CST and my remeron refilled till at least then, but, have to have $160 bucks in hand to pay for the missed appointment last month + co-pay AND make sure they submit a "treatment request form" to make sure the insurance actually PAYS for it. (Damn insurance companies  )
Got a Neuro referral from the GP......apparently this one actually knows something about CH (we will be testing THAT theory thoroughly  ) SHE is also a sleep specialist and gonna do some testing to see why I can't sleep even with all the meds I take and if it may be related to my CH. Appt. Monday 10 am (Got Film?)
And there ya have it folks......looks like I'll be collecting unemployment for a while, all in the interest of a career change.
CAN I STOP NOW?

LMAO.....
Dude, buy a couple tat mags, they have great starter kits in them you can buy....get the feel for the gun and then rent a chair in a tat shop just like a hairdresser does....all the sterile shit will be there.
Just got to prove yourself to the dude your renting the chair from cause his/her name is on the work.

This CH drives one nuts. I got fed up with work while getting slammed. Almost lost the job. It was disturbing. A year later, things are ok again, I still got a day job and insurance, they both count a lot with CH. Things change.

I may be wrong, but how about practicing on an Orange.
Seems like a Valencia would have smooth enough skin.
Course you tat a pigs balls and get the same affect. I suppose.
The mind can only imagine going to a pig farm, and all the pigs are running around with tattoed..............
Now that is sick

Kirk, I've read that's how some people learn the trade is by tattooing oranges. Supposed to be close to human skin.
You can do this Ramon! You've definitely got the talent.
good luck in whatever you choose,

Thomas,
Yes, I do have arms and legs n stuf to prctice on but I DON"T want that many tattoos.....Besides for the time being I have to keep a certain degree of skin untouched (too many people not wanting tattoos to show) and if I practice on my arms (AlthoughI would LOVE a sleeve on my right arm) I suppose I could do my legs to hide em. Tina is also not a REAL big fan of "too many" tattoos.
I have heard about the orange thing......can't for the life of me remember where. And getting a pig to sit still would be ...well .....near impossible. STILL....Food for thought not quite abandoning it yet. Creating flash and aqiring flash not a big problem just time consuming.
Calling today about programs to continue education, maybe a A.A. degree in art? or an entry level position at a design studio (graphic arts?) Got two ...yep count em TWO proposals for logo work. And there is an airbrush t-shirt shop in the local mall.....maybe I could get some work in portraiture sent to me through that one.....outside shot, but, worth looking into.
Keep tossing up the ideas folks......at this point nothing is taken for granted, ALL artistic ventures are being considdered.
Thanks for al the input...
Oh, and anyone willing to help be build a website to display my art would be a blessing....I have an "on board"....web publishing tool but have no idea how to use it or what its limitations are ....anyone know anything about "cuteHTML"?
peace.
Ramon

Click the link and then look to the left for "Tattoo practice skin"
All you need to get started should be on this site, the shit thing is it cost money to make money.

Your Tattooing Portfolio
Once you find someone who is qualified to mentor you, you will need to show them something to convince them of your talent and abilities. This is where your portfolio comes into play. Drawings are great and if you have already done some tattooing on practice skins, that would be a well rounded portfolio. Yes, practice skins... I sure hope you haven't been getting your buddies drunk just to practice on them as they passed out!
