"This One is for my Mom."
A few years ago I started getting some tattoos done on my right arm. An Albanian artist was doing the work, and after finishing a large portion of it, he never responded to another text from me. So I decided to ask my friend Tyler to finish part of it. I don't need to go into the entire story, because it's all included in the video linked at the bottom of the page. But what I will say is that I love having talented friends, and ones that are willing to help me accomplish what I dream of. From Tommy (who helps me with my car) to Tyler (who is a kindred spirit in the art side of things) to Tino (who was willing to come and spend a few days filming for me). I wouldn't be where I am today without the kindness of friends - and strangers, honestly - and I think that deserves attention. No matter how alone I might feel during parts of my journey, I doubt I'm ever truly alone.
Anyway, here's the part of the tattoo that Tyler did:
The whole meaning behind the entire sleeve is explained in the video. And if you'd like to follow Tyler's instagram, it's linked HERE.
Thanks for sticking with me. I'll be back soon.
