tattoo contes

hey go rate my tattoo please see my bulletin for link

L.A. ink

little background before you read this. If you're just as disgusted as I was after reading this...please repost!!! Adam Sky is one of the hardest working individuals in the business in my opinion. Months ago he was offered a guest spot at Kat Von D's High Voltage tattoo shop in Hollywood California. This is why we hate rockstar attitudes in the tattoo industry, and people who turn into fucking leeches. Read, go throw up, and then repost please! I got fired from L.A. Ink Sarah and I were sitting at one of my fave sushi restaurants in Hollywood, Sushi Cafe, enjoying getting full on sushi pizza when I get an emergency phone call from Kat Von D.'s personal manager, asking me to hold tight at the restaurant and she's got something to tell me in person. So we're sitting there, trying to figure out what's so important that it couldn't be discussed over the phone. I'm starting to get nervous as I could only imagine the worse, whatever the worse could be. So Kat's manager shows up (I'm leaving her name out of this as I don't want to get into personal shit with her), and she sits down, orders a sake and says that Kat told her to tell me that I need to pack up and leave at the end of my shift tonight because they've got another guest artist arriving tomorrow and they don't have room for me any more. That's it. And that Kat's having a nervous breakdown about something else and can't talk to me about it in person (I can't discuss the details as I've signed a non-disclosure agreement that restricts me from telling any stories about Kat, the show or anything that happens behind the scenes). I booked out three weeks to work at High Voltage - rented a condo (prepaid for three weeks) in L.A., flew both myself and Sarah down here only to be told I was being bumped after barely a week of work because Kat promised my chair to someone else. Thanks for coming out, bye bye. I asked if there was anything wrong with my attitude or performance and they assured me that I was totally great; that my numbers were great (I was selling over $1400 in tattoos each day) and that Kat liked me and everyone at the shop thought well of me, but there just wasn't any more room for me on the schedule now that Kat has someone she wants to bring in. So I get the kiss off from Kat's manager, rather than Kat herself full of insincerity about how she's going to try and reason with Kat but "it doesn't look good" and I should try and find some other shop to work in while I'm down here. I remember now why I left L.A. years ago and vowed never to return. The fucking insincere flakes who have such vastly inflated egos which makes them so wrapped up in their own little worlds that they lose any consideration for others and step on people as they rise through the ranks of Hollywood social climbing. So yeah. Thanks a lot High Voltage. Thanks for the invitation for the guest spot 4 months ago and for kissing me off after the first week with not even a day's warning or any consideration for how I, as their guest would fare. I've gone out of my way to defend Kat and the show and all that bullshit because I thought that there was some moral standings. But fuck that. I've watched first hand how the success of being on TV is completely destroying these people and ripping relationships apart and I've been caught in the crossfire. There's a bit more to this story, involving L.A. tattoo politics and I've actually managed to lose a long time tattoo artist friend over this as well, but I'm leaving that bullshit out because I don't want to make this situation more incendiary than it already is. I've just now realized that there's people who would prefer to destroy a long history of friendship because they can't see past their massively inflated egos. Anyhow, Jason Shroder has been kind enough to allow me to come out to Pasadena at Incognito to take care of a couple remaining tattoo appointments that I have. This is the real pisser, that I actually have people flying in from Vancouver and elsewhere who had made appointments months ago and were expecting to get tattooed at High Voltage. Ever get that numb feeling?
