a little something about my life
Yeah, it's on the getting-there side these days!!!
Or, at least, a "good" start...
Oh, whatever, check the pictures already.
:)
...oh, and don't forget, the shop will be CLOSED NEXT WEEK, so if you want to get tattooed by Mattias in two weeks, DON'T FORGET TO ASK THIS WEEK!!!
Enjoy!!!!
Hello!
So finally it's Summer. Yay!
too bad it's a bit cold this time, but it doesn't change much things for me as i am getting my back tattooed... sun is not an option for me this year hahaha.
whatever.
Anyway, this summer we also will have some "action" going on, as we always fear summer will be a low season if people leave the city to go on holiday...
Add'ink will be closed the last week july, as from 24 until sat. 28 july i will be doing a guest spot at flying dutchman tattoo studio...
i am already fully booked for that week, but i will go again probably in October or November.
We will also have our friend Mattias coming over for a guest spot, he will be tattooing with us on tuesday 31 of july, tuesday 1rst and friday 3rd of august!
there still is some room for you to get an appointment, but hurry up, as this year we already are very busy.
You can reserve with Mattias or me by showing up at the tattoo studio anytime where opened, and make a deposit (deduced of the price of your tattoo) to fix your appointment.
Please note that on that week,
the shop will be closed on thursday 2nd and saturday 4th of august.
i will tell you more about summer closings and guests in the next post. have a good time!
Hello to all of you out there!
So it's already been a mounth?!?! oh damn time is running so fast...
I have been working, tattooing a lot these last weeks, so this time there will be more pictures about tattoos.
Lately i have spent some time thinking about the whole idea of social network.
you see, i am both on facebook and instagram, and what seemed in the beginning like a good way of getting myself known out there and promoting my work to maybe get more clients now became something i don't like as much as i used to...
I find facebook mostly filled with hate, and the source of painful frustrations due to my lack of social contact.
As a tattoo artist, i'd rather spend some time with my friends or go random in a bar or to see a concert, maybe talk with a few people out there, and go home. Or just stay home with my wife, have a beer and do my drawings.
But with this social internet thing, instead of having this spontaneous thrill of discovering whatever would happen on a night out, i feel myself trapped in bullshit feelings because mounths before the event, getting tired of being invited over and over to the same event by people who don't care about inviting me, just want one more person random not me.
And the second part of my frustration is that most of the time, my true friends would use a message on my phone rather than group message if they want to meet me there. So i get all worried when no one contacts me... why do i feel so lonely? why stay on a social network that doesn't give me enough of this social contact?
On the other hand, it really helps me to keep in touch with SOME people. like 10 times a year. and i'm addicted to it, i have been using FB for years, so stopping won't be as simple as it gets maybe....
yeah i'm thinking about quitting facebook. and instagram. quit all the social stuff, except just blogging like every two weeks... that would actually get me like 3 hours free each week, like 12 hours a mounth!!!!! just by stopping hanging on my phone and computer...
well i think that's all for now. I will post some pictures for your eyes to see, thank you so much for visiting my page.
love
sylvain.
