LA Ink Update #6 – Signing My Life Away
So Hilary, the producer working with me, just emailed me over like 50000 consent forms. I spent about an hour reading and signing more docs than I did to secure my mortgage. This whole reality TV thing is crazy. And I am only on for 15 minutes of one episode. I am sure you have to basically sell your soul to the devil in order to participate on something like Survivor or The Amazing Race.
Hilary and I just spent half an hour on the phone trying to nail down the original location of the artwork I am getting. Since it is so old we are pretty free in using it but they have to check every corner of the internet in order to avoid lawsuits and the works.
I was able to get a bit more into detail as to how I want the artwork to sit on my arm. The conversation came up that my arm may be too small to get it all in a half sleeve so I just told them to use whatever skin was needed in order for me to tell my story of Saul and his conversion into one of Christ’s most dynamic messengers.
She said…”OK. GREAT!!!”
Sorry mom.
More later…
Los
RAIN IT DOWN
dude – can’t wait .. are there any links to the artwork anywhere? Sounds awesome.
Can’t you just workout one arm like the cat in “lady in the water?”
you see, i want to really be excited for you and your tattoo and read your post with intensity…but…
that bicep is just too amazing…distracting…good thin it was at the bottom of the page
HEY, HEY, Carlos. Cannot wait to hear your story on LA Ink.
It has been said that he who tells the best story, wins.
May your story be told in a way that is powerful, personal, and
full of grace and laughter.
Tell away, my friend.
Gone are the days of waking up from a drunken weekend with fresh ink on your arm…
Drunken Ink… now that’s a show I’d watch
Good luck man! You’ll have to link video to it or something from here!
Cool! You gotta let us know when you’re on Dude! My wife is a Miami Ink faithful and she’s been anticipating the new show. This is quite an awesome and unique opportunity for you to share.
Blessings Bro!
WOW! First let me say, I just recently found your blog and I love reading it. I had not kept up with it in the past month or so, then I come back on here I read your whole story about LA Ink! I am so excited to see the show and I am so stoked that you ended up with Hannah. She has been my artist for the past couple years, she did two major pieces on my upper arms. One of my mom and one of my wife. You will love working with her. She is the sweetest, nicest person that has ever drilled ink into people’s skin. Not only that, but she works FAST. A lot of tattooers have told me it would take them about 11 hours to do what she did in 5.
Heres a few links to what she did for me, and the last link is whole story about the one of my mom.
