Good news. Italy bound!!!!

[valentine]

I just received a VERY VERY important invite! I was invited to tattoo at this years Tattoo and Arts convention in FLORENCE, ITALY!!! the convention is in November...I of course accepted and I was in tears...I have worked SO SO hard to get where I am....and to have this chance is a blessing! it has always been a dream to visit italy....what artist wouldnt dream of this?! and I was selected in art school to go...but due to my health at the time..i could not travel...and now my dream will come true. I am taking my beautiful girlfriend with me (her early christmas gift)....I am not usually one to take credit..but this time...I am so PROUD of this accomplishment! and I thank the good lord above for giving me my talent...and guiding me through each day! I will be in Italy for about two weeks...i will be visiting Rome, Capri...etc. and I will be tattooing in Florence for two days! I purchased flights for both my girlfriend and myself today ..and i could not believe the deal! two round trip tickets to Rome for 840.00 USD!!!!!!!! only one stop..baltimore to NY..then off to ROME!...I am SO excited....and who better to share good news with then all of you wonderful people!
love and blessings to all of you! I feel like your insperational words and the fun we have here has truly brightened my life....and helped me go to work..and create some of the best art I have done in years! each day i find some kind of inspiration here..and for that..I thank you all!
