I'm positively OVERWHELMED by the flood of inquiries im recieving for this round of booking. I've had a very challenging summer and almost quit tattooing; which is literally my breath and blood. No joke. But Creator has a plan for each of us, i just needed to let go of doubt (poison) and negative self talk ❤️

I made up excuses for why I wasn't getting work and told myself maybe it's because I just don't belong. Maybe im avoiding a *real* job (i hate saying that). Maybe the universe wants me to do something else. Or maybe im actually a shit artist wasting mine and others' time with this blah blah blah...STOOOOOOPP!!!!!! .....I DO have a place in this ever-expanding industry. Especially as a handpoke artist, we all have our own special amd unique paths. No two rivers flow the same, so why should I compare myself when mother nature doesn't?!

What i needed to actually quit was the inner voice telling me to follow the herd and do what is popular or trendy. But I have always gravitated to the lesser known. Maybe its my curiosity, or stubbornness in refusing to conform. Either way, i am confident in being the only person in Chicago who offers what I offer; badass large-scale ornamental calligraphic handpoke with a Mexica flair🔥😆 be proud of yourselves darnit!!!

I have so much to progress, with many many more years of art / story telling through this medicine and profession.

P.S. if you didn't get picked this time, fret not! Ya girl will be booking again in 3 weeks. Stay tuned!

@nickthewilk is a guy who for the PEOPLE 🔥🔥🔥 His love for music is infectious and he makes everyone who walks through the doors of @uptownloungechicago on monday nights feel right at home. I have a huge thank you to give to Nick for the growth I've had over this past year when it comes to live performance. Uptown lounge became a sort of beacon to me.

That cannot be possible without great host who actually gives a damn 👏 please join us tomorrow night to enjoy a few hours of incredible local talent!!!
