Shannon Shirley Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 The truth for anyone listening that gives a shit about me is that ,my home is in foreclosure, i should go bankrupt, and im not sure why i ever left the business. damn , i make really bad life decisions. Im thinking a lot about coming back to it. I feel like as hard as tattooing is to do for a living, I care about it. and Damn working for large companies sucks so much. I now remember why I started tattooing in the first place. So im kinda hoping for suggestions. I really like the Jax beach area.
