his week he is having some tattoo work done and has to drive all the way out to the desert to the guy's house.  Unbeknown to Keven, when he got his second tattoo (age 17 with a fake ID) he just happened to get this guy named Gus who just happens to be one of the best tattoo artists in Southern California.  This sounds like a good thing, but because of this Gus travels around most of the time now and does shows and workshops, etc. He started a huge piece on Keven's arm months ago and has been too booked up to finish it.  FINALLY he has time, but he quit working at the local tattoo shop and is now only doing some clients out of his home in the DESERT.  Since this is such an intricate piece it has to be done by the same artist...Gus designed it and has the other design "in his head" so no one can even copy it.  I am not thrilled about him having to drive two hours, sit for four hours then drive three or more hours home (traffic hour).  BUT....I do agree that it has to be done by Gus.  Its something that will adorn his body forever so quality is important.  We won't even talk about the cost of it or where he got the money but he will be paying someone back for a long time (if he ever gets a job or SSDI)Peace, Hope and Love, Barbara
