Love Luck and Lollipops... Kill me...

Yesterday was quite the eventful mess... I talked to a detective about my stolen property and who may have did it. They made one arrest and release because of lack of evidence. They made the arrest because the person was rumoring to know the whereabouts of some tattoo machines, but could not sustain it with a police report from anyone. Without a police report they cannot hold someone on hearsay. Of course he denied any knowledge of stolen tattoo machines and was released after 48 hours. The detective involved in the case said that he will be watched to see who he is involved with. Shittiest part is I'm pretty sure that it was either him or his best friend, or both... Considering the amount of shit that was taken from my home. Even if the police don't get any serious leads or bust anyone with my property on them... I'm pretty fucking sure that I've found the people that stole from me. An old apprentice of mine who is out of the game lives nearby and has the reputation of being an apprentice / tattooist. I've contacted her about the entire ordeal and she put the word out in the area that she's looking for tattoo machines or someone to tattoo her and doesn't have the money to go to a shop. She's a rather attractive girl and usually gets just about anywhere because of it. It's not like two machines were stolen from me and getting rid of all of them would be quite a task. Maybe that will bring me closer to getting some answers. The city is still throwing a fit about me having a private studio in my home, which is getting to be fucking bullshit. Considering that I've followed every single state law to a t and there are no municipal laws against tattooing in this county/city. I've yet to recieve my tax id number so I can't exacltly order from most of the places that I usually do. I had a fucking fit at eikon yesterday about it. I tried ordering with my old established account and that didn't fly. Nothing pisses me off more than that because the machines that I do have left aren't set up to my newest specs. I got really fucking sick of the traditional a bars and started using eikon tru springs just so it made my life easier. They grey on my and now I can't even order the most minute parts because I'm waiting on bullshit. These small frustrations really make me want to throw in the towel sometimes. It all adds up and I just want to fucking shoot someone in the face... to top it all off tattoonow wasn't working the best last night when I was actually on the computer. I don't know if it was my internet that was fucked up or if it was being updated or something but it wouldn't load for shit. I'm so tempted to go kick some fucking doors in and get my shit. I added everything that was stolen from my up and it equals around 7,500... Someone is either going to prison or getting thier fucking legs broken... thanks everyone for listening to my ramble... 7

Rant away man, rant away.. I'd be pretty damn pissed off too.. and yeah, the thing was down for about 2 hours last night..

I figured as much... Goddamnit... Coffee isn't brewing fast enough... I feel like death this morning... 7

Diet Coke = better than coffee.. I'm not used to being awake this early.

I only drink diet soda anyway... But I need coffee when it's this early in the morning.... 7

lol.. coffee itself is pretty gross.. but, I guess it's an acquired taste.. time to go get ready for work.

Wow, a couple of fellow Diet Coke addicts!!!!!!!!!!! I've been a junkie since it's introduction in 1983,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and my first ink in 1986. Think Diet Coke leads to ink? TCE

No.. Diet Coke does not lead to ink.. ink leads to Diet Coke maybe.. 'cause I've only been drinking Diet Coke for a few weeks now.

Wow this is weird!...Do we all drink Diet Coke?...ME TOO!!!! 23...I'm thinkin about ya man...hope ya start having better luck...About the tax id number...I don't have one...we don't sell anything so therefore don't need one and no supplier has ever asked...if your business is a service only business its not required! Keep us informed!...TAz

Like I said.. Ink leads to Diet Coke.. my mom only started drinking Diet Coke after she got her tattoo too.. lol.. of course.. speaking of my OH SO DARLING mother... I went to my artist today after work, brought in a picture of said tattoo.. and he said he didn't think it would be worth fixing.. considering it's on her toe and all.. silly mommy getting a tattoo on her toe.

I still can't verify my shop until i get the local gov to not suck so much cock. I wanted to put in a semi bulk order though because I'm still going to be building a ton of machines. I want to copywrite my frames and shit so I kinda have to start a business that sells them. and pays taxes ect ect... So I can't even order from eikon for personal use on my few machines that I even have left. The only coils that I'm working on making are the half coils... I will master that eventually.. I still need to talk to rob to see if he'll sell me a couple sets of his coils or not. If not that's all good. I'd want him to somehow put his names on the coils. Otherwise I was going to try eikon coils for a bit but that's out of the picture until west bend isn't so fucking retarded... 7

maybe I'm going about this ass backwards... idfk... 7

Well.. there may be hope for you getting your stuff back! They finally arrested someone for killing John Bennet Ramsey.. so.. maybe they'll arrest someone for stealing your stuff?
