This time last year I..

9:28 am Tuesday, 6th December, 2016

.. was sitting drinking on the train traveling down to south to the capital for work in the afternoon, I always have a bit of Irish courage as they say when it's new work, in a new city. I had been working on the sets of some tv shows already and before hand I was temporary inking some models so I had no idea why I was asked or what it was for yet. The entire time on the train, being as dirty minded as I am you can imagine the thoughts that ran through my head lol that where just enhanced by the drink. 

Getting there and not as tipsy as I thought I'd be, was took on a tour of studio's while I waited to meet the contractor, members of they team where showing me where most of the magic happens.. some dreams where crushed that day lol. Then off for lunch in some fancy bar, I personally wouldn't of mind a big mac or one of those meal deals where you get your burger and a pint, and have a pool table near by. It was a weird interview, normally your the one about to show off your cv and stuff but the team already had my work to show off, my recommendations and stuff even I had forgotten I done to the contractor. The best part of all this was they waited for that "omg" reaction to what I was asked to come work on.. there wasn't any, cause I don't really watch things on tv. So once that was explained their reaction change to well your one of the team then we can talk to you straight without fear or you bothering the actors. I then explained to them, at the end of the day no matter what a persons status is there still a normal person half naked being inked, rarely get star struck, because I do see them as normal people, which makes it easier then to say go buy me booze lol. 

This time last year I was recommended to work on the set of outlander temporary inking the warriors and actors, it opened the door to other things too, I've travel most the UK now, and partied in most, it was cool when I realized, being aussie and missing chasing the white horses I could go as far as south wales for that. 🙂 Anyway was a nice thought to share I guess 🙂
