Well, something new happened in our life recently My husband was doing construction but has decided to go into tattooing fulltime. He works as an independent tattoer/contractor at our friends' shop. His business partner with the construction company he owns has agreed to buy him out.
We have dreams of having our own shop eventually.. Mark had one for a few months back in 2001 but they closed it down for being near a school..
I see this as a little step toward our ultimate goal together: to own a working shop and even eventually have people just tattooing and pulling in most of the money. I even am thinking of learning how to tat.. many women want a female artist, and there really are not as many women into tattooing in this area.. I have done a few tattoos on friends, but I will not claim to being a tattoo artist at this point! I love designing tattoos for people, and have done maybe 30 or so thus far.
So that's a little update on life now.
