Happy thanksgiving ♣️

What am I thankful for? I'm thankful for a lot this year.  I have my health, my family, and friends. I've taken a big leap of faith to further my tattooing. After this I only have two options: 1. Fail and have to come back to texas with my pride shot in the head or 2. I succeed and make a name for myself and start living a life I am proud to live. Either way I am going to put my 100% into every tattoo and piece of artwork I do. There is one guy who I will always love and miss, if you've read this D just know I love you and I always will. I hope whatever life you have now I hope you are happy :) 

Update 11/3/13

It's my day off and today is a cold gloomy day. I did get some cleaning done though and took Roo for a walk. I need a bigger jacket :( so many things have changed in my life. I sometimes feel like I'm in a movie theatre watching events unfold in my life. This year was a year of growing and figuring out what I wanted to truly do with my life and how I'm going to get there. I will never quit tattooing. I love this life I have made for myself, I plan on doing bigger and better things in the next years of my life so one day I can look back and be proud at who I've become and the struggles I have survived through. I'm able to do what I want and better my skill with every tattoo now, I have my line work down so now I can concentrate more on filling and finishing solid tattoos. I do need to get my own machines because I've been barrowing my best friends extra machines since mine took a shit one day :( I'm working hard everyday but I will admit I could work harder. I've been working on drawing 5 custom pieces in 3 days, I have big weeks ahead of me. I don't think this will ever be read by anyone else besides me, but if you happen to have read my blog and are reading this now you can follow me on Instagram @gabesmithtattoos
