was the one who locked me in so I ’ ve been doing his for the last few years . It ’ s amazing . Sometimes people don ’ t show up and it doesn ’ t matter how big of a deposit you get . It ’ s a huge burn because you drew everything up and spent the money to get there . So that hurts sometimes . But Troy ’ s conventions attract so many people so you ’ re always gonna get a walk up . So that ’ s what got me into it and I fell in love . The people there are super great people . Like your second family . I met Craig from Helios there . Troy introduced me to him and he asked me what needles I was going to use on a tattoo I was just gonna start . He said to wait and brought me some needles . I used them and and they were great ! He ’ s such a great guy . Same with Trevor , you know Trevor right , from Dab Tattoo Cream ?
Yea , I know Trevor , they advertise with us . I love that dude , he ’ s my boy . I was tattooing at the Wildwood Convention in NJ and he was across from me . He came over and said “ Hey man , would you mind trying this stuff and giving me your opinion on it ?” It was the first time someone came up to my table and didn ’ t just leave the product there . That was his approach and such a rad guy . He said “ If you don ’ t like it , you don ’ t even have to tell me .”
