Ah Texas...my hometown (besides New York of course!)...it was typical triple-digit weather, and no snow to be seen. Thank goodness, though I did find myself missing the cold a couple of times...
I had the pleasure of working at Red Hot Tattoos, with Chilli, and Benny Shaw. They also have another location with Jamie English, Peanut, and Adam X.
I also took time to visit with family while I was there, which was nice, and spent july 4th swimming !...We also had a small family reunion and I was able to visit with my grandma (who rocks by the way!) and ate much
bbq!
Me and the guys from the shop lit off as many fireworks as we could, Benny also called me before I left and told me of how he dropped a lit black cat into his toilet blowing a hole in it the size of a fist! Ha!
That kid is mad crazy, gotta love us tattoo artists! He also put one on my foot while I was asleep on the couch in the shop one day and they filmed it....don't fall asleep in the shop, or around us, cause crazy stuff happens!
All in all, it was good times with good friends and family, I hope to go back there soon! If you're in the area don't leave without getting some Red Hot Ink! And don't mess with Texas! Onward to San Francisco I go!
