Milo "Mr Lucky" Marcer

So I am off to Italy for two months, to work in Civitanova at Fantasy Tattoo, and in Ancona at Tom Tattoo, dates for departure will follow, but to those clients out there, don't fret, I will be back sooner than you think, and ready to tattoo you. To be brutally honest, I am also escaping the cold, I don't know why, but it's really getting to me this year. Im excited to be inspired by new surroundings, and a little break from my usual routine. Stay tuned for further news about this.

Last night the Cape lived up too it's original name, The Cape Of Storms, as a huge storm came in and woke me from fit filled dreams of my parents. I thought about those less fortunate than I in the city, those in shaks or on the street and "for the grace of God there go I" we often neglect these people everyday of our lives, and turn our backs on them, calling them bums..... I guess that's how life is, but how much time have you given to being thankful for the good things in our lives. My parents were my grace, not in the sense that they were perfect parents and it's no secret that my Father and I had the worst relationship, but for mostly poorly educated, blue collar workers, they did the best they could. So it wasn't that perfect little iconic family, with every need being attended to, or even being noticed,  but with the tools they had, and the damaged done to them by life, they made sure 3 boys grew up reasonably strait and true, and with some values, tha...

Well little Kona makes another day, and Im hoping a few more, still watching her carefully and I thought yesterday was gonna be it, as she didn't look good when I got home, but found some spring in her step to come ask for treats, and then chewed on the treat heartily, so we will se what everyday brings. Today is the Godoy Machine Seminar, Brett from 2Evolve supply, a company dedicated to supplying the local tattoo and piercing market with the very best quality products from across the globe, put this amazing opportunity together for local artists. I now only use Godoy machines, bought my first almost 4 years ago, and it still works everyday, without missing a beat and packing ink into the skin Check out this QR code, if you have a barcode reader or a qr app reader on your cellular, go to the app and aim your camera onto the code below, and you will take you somewhere.....lol

there will be a lot of changes in the near future, and the announcements will come soon, but I will start with the bad one first. My darling little girl Kona, one of the last in Chenooke's litter is nearing the end, and after 14 years she is not doing well. She has the heart of a lion, but the rest of her body is being ravaged by cancer, and I just can't keep her here cause I hate loosing her. I have been watching her carefully the past while, and things have been getting worse, and Im just not going to let my girl hurt. After all we have been through, the church house in Linden, with the pack howling at the bells tole, to the big house in Northcliff, the flight to Cape Town and all the constant upheavals that came with the life I chose, she's been there, that strong heart, always reserved, but in those eyes always so very glad to be near her Dad. Laika and I will really miss her when the day comes to say goodbye.

Nothing to say today.... perhaps you can tell me something?

It seems this dreaded lurgy is doing the rounds, the guys in the shop are coming down with it too, and reports from friends, are that they are all being layed waste by it, and corenza c seems to be the favorite way to cope. I hopefully have managed to get it, even though I wasn't to well over the weekend. Besides all that, started a nice piece on Bryan, and have about an hour and a half to get it completed, would have done it yesterday, but he had to rush off. Doing a demon today, that is not my design but a challenge for sure, I will probably post an In Progress pic here. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150165363374701.303820.39559039700

A question today.... do you believe in a soul mate? in all the billions of people in the world, do you think that theres one person that's meant to be with you. No really, imagine they're in Japan and you're in Panama, what are the odds you'll ever meet? Then you may just be standing right next to each other and never even say a word to one another, and then there are those that are together and believe that they are...So you are in a relationship with someone, how much do you believe they are the one, if so when last did you tell them, when last did you make them feel like they're the one?
