erlichs final post?

maybe maybe not thats up to gabe.so before the sight goes let me and allow me this.first gabe a dear friend once told me a very good piece of advice and im passing it on to all. pick and choose your battles. gabe youve let us be rather open here and ive backed ya up on ocassions just as i have krystof and taz,and others on here.pick and choose people just remember if you choose to respond to a certain topic you best be prepared to back up what you say or have the guts and dignity to say oops im sorry i was misinformed i read it wrong i fucked up i was in a drunken stooper what ever the excuse is.if ya dont like what people have to say then it is and will be your right to SPEAK YOUR PEACE! i have always agreed with krystof, and taz and i while i am not a heavy poster but try to do my share,i have found all post from us pros to be straight forward and to the point. gabe your wrong in closing but thats my opion if i had given up when my mother was slaming me into walls screaming im gonna kill you and being held hostage at the age of 4 by my (then) step father with a knife to my throat and being raped by my father at a young age then I WOULDNT FUCKING BE HERE! but those are another story and time ive put up being away from my family for months on end learning and living tattoo and i will continue to do such.ive been through some rough shit with learning the trade and all and damm if i will give up now nor ever ive come too damm far! so close the sight if you must kneel before your mirror and look at the person you see and ask yourself what you need to,and then decide.for only that person truly knows you and your skeltons in the closet the mindless numbing thoughts and trial and errors of your life you must both be able to smile to one another before peace is with the man in the mirror.its your call its your place and i thankyou for allowing me to come into your house and share my thoughts and speak my mind but let me say this also taz has opened a door for me one that ive been standing at for some time ive cried sweated bled and damm near gave up my wife and family for it to open. and how did this happen well it happened through you and this sight think about that dammit gabe if taz is on the truth ( and i have no reason to see different) then to say to us and the world i am done then so be it you have to live with that decision.it has been a great privalage and honor to those that have thrown my name around here out of respect and all and i thankyou all too many names to type you all know who you are so in ending let me say i will be here if gabe keeps it up if not its been a very good experince and venture for me. THANKYOU (DON)

Wow, all I can say is, no matter the day, I cant imagine giving up TattooNOW. I also had to go through some pretty rough times, pretty much raised myself, and have learned a lot of early lessons the hard way. One thing I decided is that no matter the initial hand we we're dealt, if you play hard and fair and always get better and better you dont ever have to let anyone stop you from doing what you want (after all, if your fair (or even better than fair) no one has the right to stop you). I am quite excited for the studio you and Taz are opening. Obviously I know you two will be successful, because in the long run even though the talk might be tough at times its coming from the right place. And in the end, that is what counts the most.

well now aint this just a fine bucket of shit and i forgot to close my eyes! first off let me congradulate gabe ( if that is your real name) and all the others that went into this. as you all can see my ponts of tattoo are engraved in my bones and run through my veins and arterys for it is the love of the art that keeps my heart pumping pushing the inks of those before us through me.but on the other not i must say ( to be said in a southernly gentelmans voice) you allowed me to open some of my past to you and pour out my inner feelings and now sir i feel quite the fool.and i shall thankyou kindly to stand aside and allow me to pass and keep what dignity i have left.for i shall stand with my conviticons my good man and i will see you in hell right along with me because for sure it is better to be first in hell than last in heaven. now just wait untuil i get ahold of tazs hamster ooooooooooooooooo im gonna well we seee he he

No, not the hamster, not the hamster! Poor little thing. Subject to abuse becuase of Taz. I'm calling the humane society! There needs to be an intervention. Hamster posse!
