Vision Crystal

Above is a picture of my latest tattoo creation. I want to thank Brian at
Bleeding Heart Tattoo for the wonderful artwork and dedication to this project. It took about 7 to 8 hours in all to complete this piece and let me tell you, it is beautiful. I have around 8 tattoos including this one from various artist around Kansas City and I will never go anywhere else again. This piece has been finished since mid to late February but it still needed some touch-ups.
It had been almost a month since I had been in the shop so Friday evening I decided to give Brian a call to see if we could find a time for me to come in and get the piece completely finished. He then told me some wonderful news! The shop was making a commercial and Brian wanted to use MY artwork in the commercial! The bad thing was that it was on Monday afternoon during work hours. I decided I would take off work anyhow and join the party. This is going to be my 15 seconds of fame! (Not that I have actually ever wanted to be on TV).
I arrived at the shop around 11:40 AM on Monday. There were a total of 12 people who were to be in the shoot. It was a blast! My part of the commercial was to be sitting there while Brian was giving me a tattoo. I really hope that my part is not that long because they say that the camera adds 10 lbs and I don’t need the added help trust me. Anyhow, while shooting the commercial, the camera crew asked if they could use a little footage because they were making their own commercial. This was for a contest a local rock station is putting on. 98.9 The Rock. They wanted a shot of someone really getting a tattoo. Well that would have been me because Brian was going to do the touch ups after the Bleeding Heart shoot. So I am now going to be in 2 commercials. I think that kinda rocks!

The first commercial, airing for Bleeding Heart will be shown on both TLC and A&E, during Miami Ink and Inked. The second commercial is for the radio contest. You can log on to 98.9 The Rock and vote for your favorite commercial after April 12. I will have a post up closer to that time and a link for you to visit and vote on the best commercial, which hopefully will be the one I am in. _______________________________

Now about me. I do apologize for the month delay in writing. I have suffered from various illnesses the past month. I am currently out of work with severe bronchitis. I went to the doc on Monday and she informed me that if I had not gotten in that day I could have gotten walking pneumonia. I thought to myself, well if you had not been vacationing on a sunny beach on Friday, when I originally tried to come, I would not be this bad off! Docs! Gotta love em....

I am still trying to figure out the basics of this blogging thing and it really frustrates me when I try to post something and have no idea what I am doing. I thought at one time I was a little computer savvy, but I am beginning to think otherwise. Please bear with me.

It is my last day off work and I am feeling much better, the weather outside is supposed to hit the 70 degree mark today. I am going to see what kind of trouble I can get into on a day like this.
