Update 3-3-14

Been in Maryland since jan. 22nd and I love it so far but I haven't seen much because I moved without a vehicle. I know it probably wasn't a smart choice but life is an adventure, I spend most of my days either at home (if you would even call this place home) or the shop. It's hard to pull inspiration when you're always stuck in a box 24/7. Business is slow so it's not easy to save like I used to, I do miss those $500-600 days back in Texas. Hopefully my next update I'll have a car and won't feel as trapped. 

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

Well I spoke to soon ha ha

So me and J split up... Think I might have jinxed it or it just wasn't meant to be. Either way I'm proud to say that my life is headed in a better direction. For me my life has just barely begun and there is more to see before the day I die. 

Hmm..... It's been a while since I've posted anything

I'm proud to say that I have been building a very good portfolio for myself and I have been in a very good relationship for almost 8 months now. I'm very much in love with him, lets call him "J". Going to the body art expo in Houston next month and then a 4 day vacation with my babe for his bday. Life is good:) 

Life is good

Can't complain to much about my life at the moment , I have been going to the doctor for a bad stomach problem but other than that life is good. I have a bf that actually is working out, hope writing a out it isn't going to jinx it. I decided to mix it up a bit and go for a slightly younger guy this time and it's working out so far. The passion is there and also the connection, work is also very good. I'm glad I can afford to pay all my bills with no insurance. Been going to midland to visit the family more, like I said before my life is good right now. I'm working on making it even better, this year is my year to really step it up.

Been sick

Been sick but I'm slowly coming back to life :) so I started dating a guy and things were looking up when just my luck they took a turn for the worst like always ha ha. I should have not let my guard down so easily, I just see that me and him are on very different levels. I give 110% and he gave me 10%. I'm not mad just not happy at the possible outcome of this relationship. I knew there was a risk getting involved with another guy, there is always a risk right? If it ends then so be it, just life's way of letting me know I can't find love in the shit hole of a town. Good thing I didn't fall in love.
