You ’ re a busy guy . You ’ re always doing guest spots or a convention , when are you home ? I have a wife , I ’ m very much in love , and I have a daughter and I just do my thing , and if I ’ m not tattooing , I ’ m always home with them . The shop I ’ m at is home for me . Artistic Element . I ’ m never leaving it . That ’ s home for me . I traveled a lot over the years but I ’ m staying in California at the shop I ’ m at . I do travel a lot . I do a lot of conventions and as far as guest spots , I ’ m picky about who I go to but if I do go , it ’ s on the weekends and during the week I have a lot of time with my baby girl . I spend time with them in the morning and work from about 12 to 8 at night and after that spend time with them and spend time with them as well . If I have to take a day off I will , but I don ’ t have days off so I work and spend time with them .
So are you gonna cut back on the conventions ? No , last year I cut back a lot because I was getting the whole process together and letting everybody know I ’ m here in California . This year and years to come I ’ m gonna be hitting it even heavier . I ’ m only gonna be away for the weekend and stay at home .
