About Me

"man is a pupil, pain is his teacher." "it is not because things are difficult that we don't dare; it is because we don't dare that things are difficult." "life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man, but sooner or later the man who wins is the one who thinks he can." this is me. hate me for who i am. i like... stuff. i work @ love hate tattoo and have been @ the craft since november 2004 w/an apprenticeship that started approximately one year prior. i very much still consider myself a student. i thoroughly enjoy my work and strive to improve constantly. as far as my day to day life goes in general i generally just strive to be. i do what i do whether i gotta or not. i love what i do. i do my best to do better. i realize that in the end we r all the same despite the differences that make us unique. there r no races plural... there is only one. the human race. therefore we r all subject to the same fate in the end. why not get along?
