Tattooing officially since 1973, I used to ride a Harley, and rode with the Vietnam Vets M.C. for 10 years. The most important thing in my life is still my German Shepard, Amelia, and we've been together almost 11 years now.
I recently semi retired from tattooing (again) and am driving an 18 wheeler. Guess it was time for a change. Do I miss tattooing? Sure. It was a big part of my life for a long time. Will I go back to it? Yep, eventually. I still do a few now and then when I can find the time.
I still read as often as possible and can now boast a library of over 3000 books. Still mostly art, law, computer books. Recent additions include an autographed first edition from David Blane (magician) and a book from the mid 1920's by Harry Houdini's wife shortly after his death. Like Houdini's escapes, my biggest mystery is what to do with all the books when I die. Nobody to leave them to and you sure can't take em with you.
Anyway, I still have the dog and she's with me in the truck. Although I have to lift her in and out due to her age. But she's still my best friend and will be for life. I've already made plans to have her creamated when the time comes and use her ashes to tattoo her portrait on my leg. (yes, it can be done)
That's it for now, catch y'all later!
What's up Doc? I was going to put some pics of all our tats on my myspace with captions about Docs work. Let me know if thats coll or would you rather remain a mystery. Bobzilla
