 How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel I Know I haven't posted in the last three weeks, and I have a really good reason I've been all over the place. I've been doing so many things nothing, but really good things It's been an amazing three weeks full of adventures, and I'm just excited to share everything that's been going on my life with you guys I feel like most of the time I just post Tattoos and that way I do things but I feel like today I want to get a little bit personal and just express how happy I am with Life in general, you know so the first thing I want to share with you guys It is my trip to Florida Tampa, Florida. I went to the ink mania Expo to give a seminar she know he's the person that put the whole expo together and he reached out asking me Hey, do you want to give out a seminar? I really love your stuff So I would love for you to come be part of the show and at first I was more of a should I go should I not go I talked to my wife and she was like, you know I think you should do it. I think it's a great opportunity for you And I said, you know what? I think it is so even though I was super nervous. I said, let's do it I'm I'm down luckily for me. I found a perfect canvas and that is his name is Sean his Instagram It is I do cover-ups He came to one of my seminars about two years ago and he lives in Florida Luckily for me He's such a down-to-earth person So the day finally came and the people that were coming with me was of course my beautiful wife Then my executive coordinator, which his name is Marcos Felix one of my clients and also I consider him as a really good friend Richard he's been getting tattooed by me for the last three to four years. He said I'll meet you over there in Florida I want to come and hang out with you guys. So I thought I was amazing Everything happened so quick that I don't have a chance to really get ready. So I didn't get banners I didn't get business cards. I didn't get chairs lies. Nothing. My booth was just empty All I brought with me was my merch by the end of day one I realized that my booth was looking a little too sad So we headed to Walmart afterwards and we got a curtain. We got acrylic paint I got a brush and I started painting my logo on this on this curtain that I was gonna hang the next day I've never been more positive about my life So hard for There it is there that's it It was a day of the seminar and I was feeling a little bit tired just because the time frame it is three hours ahead in Florida And in Phoenix is three hours behind so I I couldn't adjust my body to With the sleeping schedule. We also have a really fun night. So we ended up going out playing darts Start customizing. So the customizing is the most important thing for me. It is the most important thing Honestly, I think what made this trip very special for me was having my wife with me my executive coordinator Felix and having such an amazing friend Tagging along with us and making the trip a lot more enjoyable Richard and having shown us a canvas just made things a lot less Stressful for me. So I feel very grateful that I had such an amazing trip with amazing people For this next thing that I'm gonna share with you guys I'm gonna switch to speaking Spanish, but I'm gonna put English subtitles right on the bottom Just because this next person here is from Mexico. He doesn't speak English So whenever he sees this I want him to understand everything I'm saying In the past I was wishing him good luck for his next battles He is a great artist, a great rapper, freestyler and now it's my chance to tattoo the wolf What made me very happy is that he gave me the freedom to create something specifically for him When I open the door, I look at him, I introduce myself and automatically I feel that connection as a person with him And I said, this is gonna be a perfect day, calm down, let's take it well And the concept was more than perfect, so it was going to be a good day, it didn't matter the circumstances What happened? Nice to meet you brother No man, seriously, no man Thank you, thank you I'm gonna try it, to get into my bestie mode The photo looks darker Yeah, in person it's not that bad, but in person it's pretty good The concept, yes, but it's not that bad During the session it was something impressive, it felt like we were friends from years ago Sharing culture, sharing anecdotes, talking about our work, about our work What did you see brother? They gave us the work visa less than a year ago And we came here but we didn't get to Phoenix It was like the most classic, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, all Texas Texas is a mess, I would like to come and do the whole project Oh really? It would be cool to talk about it No, I would like to When we talked, I said, since I go to Phoenix, since I can step on the American lands I'm gonna be crazy, right? And look, there are so many turns I also like the tattoo, it's really weird to see someone so crazy Thank you Wanting to rhyme, it's something that can come out unnatural, but in reality For experience, I know it's not easy It's like the band that tells me, I'm not good for that guy It's that no one is good for that guy You say, I'm going to freestyle and in two days you're improvising Yes And I tell you, I was a Nazca when I started, I was going to be a asshole I didn't even know two words But usually it's to give it, to give it, to give it, to give it Until you make it I'm not that fan of being told sometimes, dude, you were born talented Because like it takes me all the hours, my merit is hours, ten years of work I'm practicing and so that someone tells me, you were born talented Yes, I agree that one is born with open creativity More developed than others That if I agree where he says, you're creative, how good you put it to use That's right, thank you, thank you, thank you What was the part that you said, it hurt me very much, the last one The last one The last one I even stopped talking, because I said, I'm going to concentrate on the pain I don't know how much the pain is Because I've been hurting a lot Yes, there was the last one, I was feeling the power here Taking out the skin Yes, taking out the extra That video, how I like the skin It's very ugly I like it too I like it a lot when the guy does it Look, it's projected How it visualizes it I like the face it makes It's amazing It's amazing, now it's fucking me You have a partner It was reverse, it was upside down My friend Ruben was going to go with me for the show they were going to have in Phoenix, Arizona And then he tells me, you know what? The show is going to be at 8, but it's going to be at 7.30 Because I want you to be with us backstage And I said, no I couldn't believe it No, I'm going to be backstage with Lobo, Asesino R.C., Joiker, Guero, no man I said, I couldn't believe it But I said, you know what? Okay, I'm looking at you Being backstage for an experience that I'm not going to forget When seeing everyone how they were prepared before going on the show It was something surreal I don't know if that's the right word We went outside while they were doing their sound test Lobo went up and he dedicated a laugh to me And I said, I can't do better tonight Everyone was very attentive They didn't make me feel out of the group They all talked They all made me feel part of the group Instead of feeling like No, no, you're invited Stay there, no, no, no It was an unforgettable night And now it's just a matter of waiting For Lobo and Asesino to start the show And I was going to copy-paste this picture onto my client's calf And honestly, that is something that I hadn't done in my whole career And it is one thing that I've been scared of doing Even though this video is about sharing my personal experiences that I've been having I can't help but to explain how I did this tattoo So here we go I used an 11-curve Mac with a 5.0 voltage I used a skin flesh tone from World Famous And for the background, I used Radiant The placement was everything Because once I placed that stencil, it was flat It was nice Nothing was messing with the features It looked like it was supposed to Once I looked at that stencil, I said I think my best approach is for me starting on the top Because the top, it was what I was motivated to do The face, the body, the gloves I was very motivated to just get to that And the way I work, I'm the type of person that likes to get motivated So I motivate myself by doing what I'm excited for That way, whenever I get a little bit tired And I feel like I'm rushing I look at what I just did and I said I cannot rush this It's looking amazing So I gotta keep my energy levels up It's inevitable for someone not to get tired But what I like doing is doing something that I was excited for Making it look amazing So that way, I have no room to slack Because this looks amazing And if I was to rush this little corner You're gonna be able to tell After I was done with the body And the gloves and the shorts I decided, okay, I think I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with the little faces In the background So I'm gonna go ahead and start With the bottom of the tattoo And work my way up So I started doing the body and the shorts For me to recover and get my energy up again Once I was done with the body And I continued to do in the middle I said, okay, now I'm so relaxed Now I feel like I can execute I'm not overwhelmed anymore So now my body said Let's do this and really kill it Because everything's looking so sick You cannot mess up You cannot rush this at all And like I mentioned earlier I've been extremely busy these last three weeks But I've been working a lot I have been working a lot So I'm gonna go ahead and share a few projects That I've done in the last few weeks That I did not record to post on YouTube Just because I couldn't find the time to edit I did post these projects on my Instagram And TikTok So if you haven't seen it I'm gonna post them right now, right here They say I will continue to make my regular videos But I also want to switch it up a little bit So drop a comment And let me know What else do you guys want to see And I'll make those videos happen So if you're a tattoo artist I hope you learned something from this video And if you're a tattoo enthusiast I hope you were entertained Thank you so much for watching I'll see you guys on the next video Peace
