Deb Yarian Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I've never tattooed at a convention and the last time I tattooed at someone else's shop (as a visitor) was 20 years ago , I was working in Georgia and traveled to Jacksonville to work at Inksmith and Rogers. Well I'm en route to Inksmith and Rogers ,again ,to sit in and visit with Mike Wilson and Angelo Miller--- and also the rest of the crew. I'm a little neurotic and anxious--- but I'm flattered that they'll have me. I'm not even comfortable working in a different station in my own shop so this is definitely out of my comfort zone. I'm considering this my 20-30 yr refresher course! Wish me luck irezumi, MsRad, gougetheeyes and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I know you'll have a great time! The new beach shop is nice and laid back so don't worry! You'll be spending most of your time trying to understand what Angelo is saying anyway. hahahaha. If you meet James at the Atlantic shop that's my man good luck! have fun!

Deb Yarian Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 So far so good, amazing hosts and all we've done is eat, eat, eat. 4th of July party today --- tattoo tomorrow. Mel Noir, MsRad and Ursula 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Yarian Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 I had a great time! they were great hosts, home and shop. I got to tattoo Angelo's wife, one of the Inksmith guys- Pauly, and a shop customer and friend. All the while having Mike and Angelo literally at my side to answer specific questions and make suggestions. You can teach an old dog , new tricks. A couple of more days in Jacksonville visiting non tattoo friends. I miss the shop and people already. Mel Noir and MsRad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
