S.U.S.D!

moths are the coolest.

i've been saying it forever, and i still mean it-

they're out here doing all the same sh!t as butterflies,

without all the grandstanding and showboating.

they do what needs doing, in the dark, out of sight, whilst dodging hungry bats an' that.

plus, they mostly look like tree bark.

how humble and unassuming is that?!

well, not ALL of 'em are dusty-lookin' wood-imitators, though.

some of 'em are pretty wild, really.

like the strawberry-banana-magical pink and yellow elephant hawkmoth.

uh-huh.

that's super-elite, and it looks less like a moth,

and more like an alien battle-kite,

which i have to give credit for- that's expert.

i got to tattoo one on a old friend this saturday.

wait for it:........in black and grey.

ha!

that's some kind of a hard pants kick, isn't it?

even when they're exotic, it doesn't much matter in the woodsly goodness.

nope.

rules is rules, 

and they're not about to get a chance to start big-timin' around here, man.

check it out:

stay ugly, stay dope.

better moths and better people know what's up.

it was still a whole heck of a lotta fun, seeing folks who've been gone a minute,

and catching up on old times and new directions.

i'm grateful every time i have the opportunity to add some fresh art onto somebody 

who has the olden times poked in 'em from back in the day.

it's a really good feeling.

i'm tattooing second generation folks all the time,

so it's nice to still put it down on the originals, too.

MORE tattoos, always, at AMPERSAND TATTOO.

tattooing is destined to be fun and stay fun this year.

get ready, because that's all we have for you:

good times and better art;

never quiet, never soft.....
