A bit of progress.
🕑 Added 2025-05-23 20:05:19 +0000 UTCHey dudes. I managed to get some work in today. Not much but hopefully enough to push me over the edge tomorrow by lunch. Even with all the background stuff I haven’t got a choice but to keep making videos now lol. I made it my main focus and I’d have to build up a whole new clientele if I went back to tattooing so you and I are stuck with me making videos indefinitely now lol.
But some positives are that with model sales and the help from many people here and around the community I have almost secured enough to financially relax. But we not out of the woods. Due to how the market works here they skirt around many laws in ugly ways. Eg. 1st house we looked at told us that they didn’t want 2 kids to live in their 3 bedroom house and they looking for a family with one kid. Ok cool. Second house they told us that when we fill in the forms there is a question asking about how much we are willing to pay for the rent and the agent told us before sending the forms that if we think that offering more than the listed price would give us a better chance of being chosen then we should put more down. So they bidding the rent up, we’ve no idea what the other applicants are going to put for that question so we obviously offered more. Unfortunately there just isn’t any houses as people are selling or using them for Airbnb so we are now scrambling to find something out if the minuscule amount in the market that is not a rip off and doesn’t look like a shed for Lamborghini prices. Moving away is out of the question as I’m locked into a contract with the studio (which is my tattoo space as well)
I’m also working on other stuff for the patreon and the channel in the background as a result of someone reaching out so hopefully I can announce some even more good news in a couple weeks. But first finding a home is the distraction while I still make the content, perhaps won’t be as much as I was doing last few weeks so back to regular schedule for a bit.
Ps I can’t just not do the videos by the way they are all sponsored by patreons and artists who are all running their owns schedules and lives and I’ve committed dates to them. Not to mention a large part of my income is from sponsors and you guys so I can’t just give up my job while we do this so please understand I’m not trying to kill myself with overload but I have to still maintain work in order to maintain life. I have to earn from somewhere and currently this is where. (Has been for a few months)
Lastly. Thank you to everyone who increased their tier. And helped in anyway. I am truly indebted to you guys.
But most importantly I want to reach out to those that didn’t or couldn’t and say that you never ever had to and I’d never expect you to either! And I dont want you to feel bad or feel anything really, I don’t expect anything from any of you (apart from your support and to share my videos with your grannies). All the support on the channel and even the smallest support on here is like a godsend and truly helps me continue to make the content which I fell in love with doing. I literally couldn’t do it without you guys. And I’m so grateful to be able to do it. Like honestly couldn’t say enough how grateful I am.

I'm so super happy to hear that you were able to get the boost you needed to get closer to a stable situation. I'm glad the community was able to help out.

Yea dude. Shops open always. If the shutters up it’s open. Sometimes I am recording I may lock the doors but just knock or text me on insta or something. I have deck tan. Come get it.

I joined the Patreon this week. Not to help, although I’m so glad it does, even in a tiny way, but because I love your content. Also because we’re in the same town, if you’re still opening the studio to the public, I’ll be in very soon to pick up some new colours. Used your code to buy Popeye. I desperately need some deck tan!! Keep pushing forward dude, you will get there. I had a stroke a couple of years ago so I know that life can really kick you in a di*k sometimes, but it looks like you have a great community around you.
