Hey Tobias, may I ask, what are your professional inspirations. Where do you get your motivation to be the best at your occupation?

I have a lot of different sources for this sort of things, but there are four main ones these days:

1) whatwouldseando, my mentor, who still let’s me bug him every other day with potentially dumb questions.

2) jenthepiercer, my current awesome boss who is great to work with and bounce ideas off of on a regular basis, has me lucky enough to just get to come to work and play with the largest selection of beautiful body jewelry I’ve ever seen, and who let’s me largely determine a lot of the things that have to do with running the shop successfully on a day to day, take time off to continue my education and shadow other piercers, propose crazy changes that make no sense at first, etc.

3) skin-rivets-tyler who is a constant inspiration for me to keep on pushing myself further and further professionally and one of my best friends personally.

4) theotherbrett mrvondoome emptybannerssixsixsixtommy weaverpiercer aaronftpollack ryanafeagin zombiejihad and Morgan Strong, all who are part of a group of incredible piercers that became really good friends and an extremely good support system for me over the last few years. These are kids i get to talk procedure, shop, and life with every single day and have greatly helped me improve as a piercer and a person in that time.

I could honestly list another 20 people without a doubt very easily, but I’ll keep this short and sweet. If you mean a lot to me, I’ve probably told you, but if not: ily

My first non-Mac computer this century. A new (to me) #dellxps I hate all things Microsoft so I wiped the hard drive including #windows8 so that I could replace it with #linuxmint So I have to learn #linux now too, but fuck it, I like a challenge.

My shop goldengoattattoo is looking for a new tattoo artist. We offer large private or semi-private rooms, above average pay, all basic disposables and personal protective gear supplied, reasonable hours and an artist friendly environment all in an affluent suburb just north of Austin.

So basically, someone I thought was a new friend went and told an actual friend of mine some stuff I said when I was mad and twisted everything around and pretty much ruined said friendship and now actual friend won’t talk to me.

New friend is damn lucky I’m not as juvenile as she is and I...

Don’t let this happen to your internet

The internet belongs to all of us. It’s an open, fair, democratic place that we’ve all helped to create, together. On February 26, the FCC is going to decide whether to leave the internet in our hands…or whether to turn it over to the cable companies.

You don’t want them to pick the cable companies. 

This is it, guys. We’ve been been fighting this fight together for a long time now. You did a sensationally good job back in September, making 135,343 calls in a single day and shifting the political momentum back toward real internet freedom. You been pulling more and more policymakers—including the president himself—over to the side of internet freedom. We’re almost there. Let’s bring this one home.

I get asked about apprenticeships EVERY SINGLE DAY. Here’s your chance. You want it, go take it, and be prepared to earn every single day of it.

Repost for Tobias who repost it for me who repost it for Jeebus.
