How to get a tattoo, starting from step one.
Step 1- Think of the tattoo you want then ask yourself questions about the tattoo like- “what does this tattoo represent?”, “will I like this tattoo when I’m 85?” “is this something I want everyone to see daily?” and “does this tattoo stand for what I believe in?” Many times, people choose tattoos from a quick random impulse and get to live with that super cute dolphin on their neck for the rest of their lives. Don’t be that mistake, don’t be the person that has to wear long sleeves in the summer heat to cover a tattoo you got on a whim when you turned 18. It seems that lots of people tend to forget that tattoos really do last a lifetime. So with that in mind- choose wisely.
Step 2- Find a legit shop. Tattoos aren’t really the kind of thing you want to find a deal on. Chances are, the cheaper the tattoo, the higher you medical bills will be later on in life From what I hear, blood diseases certainly aren’t a walk in the park. So when you hear of free tattoos or hear of someone who will tattoo you out of his RV chances are that it’s a bad idea. Look around the Internet for shop if you have no friends that have tattoos. Once you find one online, look at all the artist’s work and decide if its quality or not. There are a lot of people who can grab a tattoo gun and call themselves tattoo artists, but there are even less who can actually do quality work. No one wants an ugly tattoo for the rest of their lives. Once you find the perfect shop, make sure they use sterile needles for every tattoo. Most shops will have an autoclave, which is a machine that will clean the needles perfectly for every use. Look into this for each shop so you don’t get more than a tattoo that lasts a lifetime.
Step 3. Save money and call ahead to get an appointment. If you find a good artist chances are they can fit you in the day you call. So find a date later in the week/month that will work for you and your artist. Bring enough money for the tattoo AND a tip. Tipping is important so that the artist will be happy working with you and will want to work with you again… and if you are lucky, the artist will see that you tip and may want to give you a discount on another tattoo sometime later.
Once you’ve completed these steps, you should have a rockin’ tattoo that you get to show of to your grandma and other friends! Take care of it daily because like teeth, if you neglect it, it will neglect you… and decide to fade away a look like a really ugly birthmark. Lotion is your best friend. You brush you teeth everyday (hopefully), so use lotion everyday. Welcome to the world of tattoos.

bradley hathaway
so i discovered Bradley Hathaway back in high school and thought he was a pretty legit guy. He really is, Bradley is pretty much a urban poet that goes around and does his slam poetry inbetween sets at some christian rock shows. His stuff really hits home for a lot of people so you should take 3 minutes out of your life and listen to "the hug poem" that i found on youtube. Its one of my favorite poems of his. Watch it, its awesome.

the post about nothing...
So Ive been sittin here goin through and reading a buncha posts from people I am subscribed to and got inspired to do a post. Only problem is I have no idea what to write about. I thought about going though my flickr account and blogging about the very first picture I ever posted there... but then found that it posted my first picture there on the 17th of febuary last year.. so maybe ill blog aout that then. Till then, ill continue to blog about nothing.
Continuing on with nothing, Lets go back to yesterday. I learned something interesting before my yearbook class... journalism students can type like no other. Like a million words a minute (more or less) and for me, I have to go back and fix all the typos i have from hitting the wrong keys and stuff. Yeah i can type pretty fast... but im not that agile about it. but thats okay right? right.
Disneyland is awesome in the rain. Ashley and I went last thursday while it was raining and there park was nearly empty. Pretty much every ride has a 5 minute or less waiting time. So now whenever it rains I want to go. Oh, and for those who dont know, I got a disneyland pass. I figured i would be a real southern californian...
alright... thats it. sorry this blog was lame and uninformative. There is no way i can give you back the few minutes of your life that you wasted reading this. But to make up for it, Ill give you a quote that goes at the end of all my emails. So, it would be only natural for it to be placed at the end of my blog.
peace.

oh. and dont worry.... my next post will be a lot better than this.

So i was going to pay my credit card bill right now when i noticed that my checking account didnt have as much money in it as it was supposed to. So i clicked on it and found out that $400 had went to something called google adwords... which i have never used in my life. Im kinda stressin over it. tomorrow morning im going to bank of america to see if I can fix anything. I also emailed google. Hopefully something can be done. no fun.
