No, I mean, I'm just I'm just launch launch Come on launch like we're going out to lunch. No, that's lunch. You said it right launch chill Launch launch We launched With the ED. Yeah. Yeah, we launched past tense. I'm emphasizing it too much the website yesterday and it was It was intense because as soon as you know, I announced it I said I'm gonna drop the website at 12 p.m So you guys are gonna be able to book your appointments if you're an artist You can reserve your seat to for the upcoming seminar and you can buy your merchandise there, too And all these cool things that that we ended up adding in the website But a lot of people logged in at the same time that the whole website crashed for like an hour Typical influencers I crashed the website It was really cool the website looks really really good You and Marco both did a really great job. It looks really really cool. Yeah, I'm glad he he was very patient with me Don't you shout out your website? Hell. Yeah. So the website is under mr. Period. No Mr. Reyes Inc.com that's it simple and You can either find the link on my tiktok my Instagram and I'm gonna be putting the link on the description here on this video and Or you guys can type it on your browser. How do you feel that you have a website now? I Mean like you have your own website, I feel really excited. I feel happy I get this feeling of relief because we Before we got the website we were going through a lot, you know with the emails and the our email couldn't take any more emails because he was full and I think it was just overwhelming. Um, I was the one answering the page. Everybody was like get a new assistant. I'm like To the heart like dang But I think it was just overwhelming you would just Continue to get emails and then when we would book someone it would be like From months Behind and you know, how do you answer the emails? Do you go from like top to bottom or bottom to top? Because random are the people from the past like still looking to get you know tattooed So it was really Overwhelming especially for me At that point just cuz I was just receiving non-stop emails and I tell Kevin be like I Don't know how we're gonna go through all of these like it was impossible Yeah, go through some and you would feel like you're you know taking away a load But then you look back and it's the same. So it was just too much. Yeah, you know, some people would write Things like oh, I just want an appointment like how soon can I get in or does he have next week available? And it's just I know their intentions are not, you know to be rude or yeah Inconsider it hopefully But you know read the room He does have like a a lot of emails coming in all at once So it's just like they expected me to be able to reply You know as soon as they sent that email. So I think that was really rough and I'm just like sinking I'm like I swear the microphone was right here at my forehead and yeah, I want you closer to my thoughts Can you hear me? Were you gonna show me the tiktok video? Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. Should we do that now? Okay? Let's do it. Well, I don't know. Yeah, I think I should do that. Let's do that. I'm just going with the flow So what's this video I got tacked on this video a couple weeks back and it's basically about This girl here who got a tattoo and she was She she couldn't speak up that she wasn't liking that tattoo. Does she explain all of this? Yeah. Yeah, she explains it and Put a finger down if you went to a tattoo shop and you showed the tattoo artist this photo of what you wanted You tell her that you wanted it on your sternum and she says she's not gonna copy it Exactly and you're like, okay, I completely understand that because you completely understand that So she says she's gonna draw up something for you and she'll call you back So then she calls you back and she shows you the stencils she made and you think it's absolutely horrendous But you have social anxiety and no me No mean bone in your body So you tell her that you like it and just hope that it turns out better on your skin and then Can you pause it really quick? Yeah, yeah Is that normal? Um, is that a normal thing for artists to not want to do that exact design? Um, as artists we do want To have at least creative freedom to make something that you brought in And make it better. So like right now I'd be like I find something on Pinterest And I really like how it looks and I want that exact thing and I go to an artist right now and be like Hey, I want this exact thing Right here on my forearm. They won't give me that. Um If it's a simple tattoo, I mean I I haven't I haven't Done like walkings in a while But when when somebody brings in like a simple design and they want that exact same tattoo Then yeah, well, I would I would just do it, you know, because It wasn't it is not original design, you know, it's more of a Copy-paste butterflies flowers But it fits more of a custom piece where they they bring the idea of like Oh, I want this exact style that this artist did and that artist is well known Then that's when it's kind of like I can't just copy paste what this artist put a lot of effort into customizing That was a very long explanation to my question Um, okay, so sometimes Thanks, all right, this is how it goes everywhere in the house Where's the laundry where'd you put the laundry? Oh, we'll see I was living through my day and I woke up and I decided to go take a nap And then I woke up and then I went to the fridge and then I walked back from the fridge Okay, so sometimes She tattoos it and it ends up being completely absolutely horrible And nothing like the picture and uneven and You tell her that you like it and then on top of that she accidentally Scratches your shoulder with the tattoo gun and says Oh, I'm sorry free tattoo ha ha and you're like ha ha instead of getting really mad like anybody else would And you still pay her 300 and tip her and then cry A lot in your car Oh, man What a horrible wow experience That's horrible That is has that ever happened to you where you accidentally hit them On your way back knock on wood So that's never happened to you and that is because i'm terrified that that's gonna happen So I exaggerate my movement back to the To the okay, so I exaggerated because i'm afraid that that's gonna happen with me one day So even when i'm tattooing like the shoulder i'm like Because i'm trying to avoid or Uh clients have the the habit of turning when i'm tattooing the shoulder So i'm like hey, you better turn around before I give you a free tattoo A wink in the bowl My first tattoo I think it was my first tattoo My sister had uh taken me to this place that she had that she usually gets her tattoos from And I remember I was really excited I wanted just like a small dainty little thing. I wanted like a little lotus flower The smallest thing ever that's all I really wanted and um I showed the person the design. I think that I had seen like on pinterest or something google. I don't know And how's the call he's just like oh, okay, and he goes to the back and um starts drawing it up Which for me was surprising because I Assumed, you know yet again that he would just give me the exact design That I wanted Of that little example I gave which is just like a small little lotus flower simple looks like four or five six lines honestly and um He went to the back. He drew it up. He came back and um It just looked like weed Like a weed plant like a weed plant. Yeah, so I was just like, yeah, no, I don't want that So he's like, okay, so he went back and he drew it again And he came back and he showed me and I was just like no, I still don't like it So at that point that's when I started feeling uh nervous because I was just like, okay I already turned him down, you know twice on his design So you start feeling bad. So I start feeling guilty, you know, like oh, I'm making him work too hard You know for this small little tattoo And he comes back the third time and the third time. I mean, it's not like horrible or anything like that Um, but it's not what I what I wanted um And I was just like, uh, well, it's not bad in my head And I was just like, okay. Oh, we'll do that one And I mean the guy was nice, you know, he wasn't like throwing any shade or being mean about it I could have easily said no not that one again too. Um, but I think it was just like The uncomfortableness of him going back and forth drawing it up um So I I feel like that was my fault But it was my first tattoo And I was getting anxious. Um, you kind of like learn to live with it and it's just like I don't hate it um Forward years later you date a cover-up artist and he's currently gonna be Covering that up uh really soon. So but Um, it's on her hip. Yeah, it's on my hip But it's I understand, you know, I understand what she was feeling Um, I mean that sucks. Yeah. It's yeah, it's a lot of lines. There's not there's no room to add more You have to take out. I feel like she could just make it a really pretty butterfly. No with like Like cover-up in gray Put put more Solid designs that would eliminate more of those those lines and clean up the edges because it's very crooked Like is it really? Yeah, look at the lines are very shaky. I can kind of understand why they're shaky why and It is because They don't have enough experience to pack in lines on a stomach And it's so hard To pack in lines on a stomach because the person is breathing So you need experience even for myself. I find it complicated. Hey Stop breathing We'll both start bridge. We'll both stop breathing during this line, please To be Well, whoever tagged me on this video Go to her video and please let her know what happened I'd want to know if she got that taken care of. What would you recommend? Would you do like a laser treatment? What would you try and cover that up? Because she got an outline that she wanted so at the end of the day She can always get two to three sessions and fix it have someone add more Simple design to it or designs speaking up to even though I'm an artist. I feel like I have that problem too. Really? Yeah, so about what though, uh, like when I'm getting tattooed I feel like uh until I got this one A portrait the portrait of you. Uh, shout out. Tommy Lee. Uh, he's the one who did it Uh, I feel like before then I got all these tattoos all over me, but I never had a I thought the artist too that they know what they're doing. So I shouldn't Say what they're supposed to do. Yeah Then that's I think when I felt that was when I got um this one here this heart Uh-huh. I don't know if you guys can see it this heart right here. It's uh um They custom. I mean it's it's sagrado corazón. Um, and Well, while the artist was doing it, uh, all I could think to myself was, you know, you're not using solid black You know, you can grab solid black and make this darker because my skin tone is is a little bit darker skin complexion. So I know that my skin only It would only work if they were to put solid black in it But he was avoiding the solid black and I don't know why and I kept thinking to myself Just go to the solid black and put it on my wrist because it's gonna make it stand out even better But I also didn't want to feel disrespectful because that was gonna make me look like I'm superior You know, but that was in the back of my head kind of like telling him what to do Exactly. So I I felt like I just let him do it, you know, just let him do it and I I didn't say anything But until I got this one I didn't feel that at all because I did my research and I knew who I wanted to do this portrait Because it was for me. It's one of the most important portraits. I was gonna get you know So I didn't want to make the same mistake of me um Doubting the artist throughout the process and thinking oh my god, is it gonna look like her, you know Yeah, so that's why I chose. I was kind of nervous about that too. Like were you about to have like A random looking girl on your on your forearm if it didn't look like me Yeah, or like if I looked at it and I'm like, damn, that's me Girl Like that that'll look like me. Who's that? Who's that? Yeah I would have had some insecurity Okay, well that was a tattoo nightmare of the week here We're gonna do a quick pee break. Yeah quick pee break And then if you guys have any more videos that you guys want to wanted us to react to tag me on either Instagram tag me on tiktok or tag me on youtube and then we're gonna Uh react and give us a give you guys our our opinion. So Break a quick little break and we'll be right back What we've all been waiting for yes, we're gonna answer emails now Uh, I was talking to marcos and he said that um As in today since in 12 hours we have about Uh over 200 emails Are you serious? Yep 200 requests this was supposed to like help This was actually our first email that we got on the day of the launch It was the first one that got through before everything went down. Okay, perfect. Um, they Want a cover up? And they sent a picture Oh Tough tough the lines are pretty dark lines are pretty dark tattoos all over the place I wonder if he also wants his neck covered up. Hola. Mr. Reyes.

Wow marieland marieland Mary had a little Okay, that's an actual song Oh baby didn't have a good childhood Okay, go on Okay, there you have some childhood over there in spanish Christ in spanish All right, I have seen all your videos and first I was afraid to even send this email because of how big the cover up would be Crazy enough. I saw the huge dragon piece cover up you did and I am sure you are about the only one who could save me From these tattoos I got as a chess piece when I was 16 At the time it was cool, but now I kind of just looks like a mess to me and it's pretty faded Dang, I wonder how dark it was when he early got it If you were willing to accept to do this cover up, I have a complete open mind to any ideas you would have I was born in guatemala city. So I would love to have a Mayan Aztec design or anything on that line But like I said, I'm open to basically anything you suggest will work I know I'm in the east coast But I am more than willing to make the trip to arizona to get tattooed by you However, many days you think it would take I'm cool with I was very flexible. My schedule is really flexible Um, so I could make any arrangements that would best fit yours I would like my whole chest covered up I Have one on my throat On my throat area, which I would also like covered But if the design wouldn't work or time isn't really good, I'm okay with leaving It would be an honor to be a to be tattooed by you mysterious I'm more than ready to put in the investment paying time. It would take I took these pictures myself Um, please let me know if you need any different angles Or just closer ones that concept that he chose pretty dope So is this a yes? Are you saying yes to the dress? I'm saying yes First cover up All right, so next one. Um, it's not a cover up Style choice. It's a hint of color Um And this one it says hello looking to get a full arm sleeve greek like One I saw on your instagram. Okay. I'm I'm gonna pass I'm gonna pass on this concept just because I I feel like I've been doing a lot of greek mythology So sorry my guy appreciate the request Next email is a cover up It's a style choice true gray Hi, my name is blink and I would really like to get a cover up done by you I found your page on instagram and I really like your work I've been wanting to get a cover up for a while and I feel like I can't even wear a cut sleeve And I really want to change that and I feel like you can help me out I have cash ready for you if you if I can leave a deposit for a waitlist or to book Please be looking for an artist, but I've seen your work and then you're the man for the job Upper arm. Okay It's a skyline. Mm-hmm. Skyline. It looks like a lady He must be from california Maybe I don't know. I'm just guessing. Okay. There's a moon. What is the concepts that he has in mind? All right Oh, Bernini jesus That's uh, that's a tough one Because with this type of with this type of statues I can't really Cover up anything because there's too soft. I can't grab any texture from them I'm gonna pass. All right next It's not a cover up. Oh, it's a portrait memorial portrait for my dad who is just Murdered oh my god, use the picture Very tough picture I'm gonna I'm gonna decline. I'm gonna decline um and The reason why is because I feel like this this piece is so important that I I don't feel like I can I can Exceed on it as much as I would want to so I'm gonna go ahead and suggest Tommy Lee tattoo Um, he is the artist. I'm I'm gonna suggest for this piece and you're gonna be really happy with it All right, so we're moving on to the next email That says hi, uh, first off. It's a cover up I want to say your artwork is a blessing. I'm looking to get a full sleeve cover up done on my right arm I am san jose california and I would have to fly out My current art on my arm is all over the place. What I would like to Get as my cover up is the nightmare before christmas jack and sally Being together taking over the whole lower arm And upper arm being where the movie takes place as in the town oof I'm gonna decline But the concept is it's it's not something that can help me to do a good cover up What kind of concepts would you say would be able to cover something up like what she has because what she has is um Like a scream and then it looks like it's another picture. It gives it kind of like an oldies vibe She has the lines of roses A greenish blackish skull And I forgot what else she had here. They're very dark. Yeah, they're very dark So what would you the piece would have to be dark dark dark? Exactly either A super dark piece with a whole bunch of contrast And probably it would take like two sessions or three To get it done because it's so dark that you would have to layer every single um Every single part of that tattoo Or I would suggest laser at least two to three sessions To uh to get the pieces lighter. Yeah, I think at that point We would have to try out so many different concepts that She would have to be very open minded to any concept at that point So I think the best choice is to for her to get something that she likes She would have to laser off or laser if she wants to go with that idea. Yeah If she's married to that idea All right next Email it is not a cover up um it is Greek with lightning on the side of left leg I'm so sorry. I'm gonna pass All right next email it is a cover up How I would like to cover up this tattoo shown on the picture the goal was for it to be bigger But the artist did quite the opposite At ever since I haven't felt like myself at all. I would love a cover up from you and would pay anything it takes Oh, yeah It uh, it's really up there on her hip. Mm-hmm. What is it that she wanted to do? It's like a portrait. Oh Yeah, yeah it's For her to cover that one up It would have to be almost like a full outer sleeve To wear that hip. It's almost like the background um, I would say Make something out of that and make sure that your leg looks Full so pick up a concept that's gonna make Um distract the eye from the lion and your eye is gonna go straight to the new piece that You're gonna get you know, that's what I would suggest And because it is on your hip. Nobody's really gonna see it unless you're in a bikini You know, but it's hot girl summer. We want to be in a bikini The The only reason we get tattoos there is so it could look good in a bikini Oh, I'm gonna pass We're gonna approve two more clients and we call it With your picking this All right, next one is a cover up. Okay Hey, this is a partial cover-up as it's just the upper thigh that has the ink I'm wanting to do a full leg sleeve Hip to the top of the foot. Oh I'm really digging the space themed arm You did in March and would really like to stay along those lines. Yes I'd let you have full artistic freedom on the piece. You're doing a lot of uh space stuff right now I love galaxies right now. Yeah the color that you're putting in them It's uh, it's crazy. I would love to see the skin complexion. Just to see if I was to Be able to add Hints of yellows and like oranges and reds and purples and blues, you know What why I have never seen this kind of tattoo before Like I don't hate the tattoo. It's just really different. It's really vibrant. Oh, it's a cover-up, huh? Yeah, well, it's like, um, he said it's a partial cover-up. Okay as it's just the upper thigh that has the ink I don't understand what he means by that. Is he gonna want the whole tattoo covered up or or partially Confusing Are we ready? I'm ready. Okay.
