keep your eyes open, and your wits about you, for the world is a cruel place, and is often unfair...

About Me

ok, we' ll start with the basics: i believe that family is the most important thing in life, above and beyond anything else. i am a tattoo artist, and i love my profession. tattooing has given me purpose, direction, and drive. it's what gets me up in the morning, and makes me able to look to the future with excitement and joy. i now tattoo at Lone Wolf Body Art in Hillsboro Village. i can be reached tuesdays through saturday from noon till ten @ 615-321-3111. i ride a motorcycle, and am being shown a wider world, i have respect for the asphalt, and if the buddha is willing, i will never have to have a face to asphalt conversation ever again... for the first time in my life (through tattooing and oil painting) i am truly developing as an artist, and that is exciting as hell (and a bit terrifying). but, i believe that growth is never painless. now more so than ever before, that philosophy rings true for me. generally, what you believe to be true, and what is true are more often than not two entirely different things.i love the great outdoors, and have find myself in constant awe of the majestic beauty that my home state possesses. i make at least one sojourn into the wild every year, and go back into that space in your hind-brain that still remembers what it is like to survive in nature. i usually catch a mean case of Thoreau around late october or early november....
Ii believe in pushing limits, and finding out just how far you can propel yourself through this amazing chance at existance.i believe in ghoulies, ghosts, goblins, and vampires. i absolutely love to read ( books without pictures even!) i love movies, and the collection thereof.music is the closest thing to church i have. god and i are on good terms, if i need to talk, he is there to listen. but i don't need to get dressed up on sunday to do so. i have recently begun to study buddhism. am leaning more towards a focus on zen than any other tradition, for now....kids are great if they get to go home to their parents after about an hour.comic books, cartoons, tooth paste commercials,flowers and my friends make me happier than anything else that i can think of.i believe that laughter is the best medicine there is ( and i laugh louder than anyone i know) i totally believe in do unto others... if you fuck around be prepared for the consequences.have been known to be quite loquacious ( especially when drinking) but am not afraid of silence. finding people that can hang out, and not spend every moment trying to come up with something to say is a task i enjoy.i love to watch and listen to people. i try to absorb as much as possible from those that i surround myself with.i believe that to think one knows everything is when one knows absolutely nothing. i strive to learn something new every day.i get bored very easily, but by that same token am pretty easy to entertain.i have been known to hurt people's feelings and be oblivious that i have done so.i'm a silly bastard at times, if you don't like it, fuck off.loyal as hell. but that comes with a price, if you think you can dick around and not hold up your end of the deal, well buster, then you deserve what comes at you. a bit shy, but can be loud as all get out.i deal with the general public on a daily basis through my work, and am likely to go straight home afterwards. it didn't make that much sense five years ago, but now i get it, thanks kendell.other than that if you have any questions, please ask.*please for the love of any deity that you can think of, if you want to be "friends" please at least say hello first. * as fun as it can be, i'm not into collecting friends like fucking baseball cards on this thing.... so if you want to be added, then have something to say.WARNING!!!!!!!!!! the saunders house now has a huge fucking monster of a hot tub..... LADIES GET READY !!!!!!!!!
