HANDSOME TATTOO GUY

i'm just trying to have it be december already.
for real.
this grey, dark, cold, windy! bummer is really not the one, man.
real talk, the first week of december is another sandwich week.
i mean, c'mon.
november is gonna compete with that?
no way.
what've you got, no-no?
that dead-bird-based gratitude day where grievances surface
among estranged family members getting together
over a bowl of box-mix mashed potatoes?
nice try, bud.
that. ain't. it.
i hate november, and i always have.
fun fact. still hate it, maybe more than ever.
yeah.
sometimes, i do bigger tattoos.
sometimes, there's handsome clients who are very nice
getting tattooed but really not making anybody at AMPERSAND TATTOO
feel any better about themselves.
more specifically, jacob is just a lot better looking than most people.
he's nice enough, but maybe turn down the handsome just a few percent
when you're around the fellas.
like, be respectful of my business, bro.
ha.
anyway, he got a cool tattoo from some guy named walton ford
who is verrrrry good at painting animals.
jacob says he illustrates his favorite author's novels.
......of course, because jacob has a great big handsome brain, too.
hahahahahahaha...
but i did the tattoo on his back, and i think it is pretty cool.

right?
i dunno.
i like it. wish i drew it, but i'm glad i tattooed it.
so that's that.
november mostly sucks.
some tattoos are cool.
some days are slightly better than others,
but generally, there's more NO than vember for me;
never quiet, never soft.....
