Being Crafty VS. Crafting

I wonder how these things relate...Am I crafty as in "devious" or am I crafty as in "ingenious"? Maybe both. Yes, both.

Western Market is in a few days and I need to get ready. I am soon to meet my new crrrafty friends and want to sell some - um stuff.

What is the best word for DIY merch? Stuff, inventory, art, craft? I make things I want to keep forever but must sell them because I am poor. And because I want other people to see them, love them and tell me they want my creations for themselves.

Spontaneous Body Modification?

Is there such a thing that could be cool? I have always doubted it.

I went to Ambrotos Tattoos today to drop off some SILVERDOCS fliers and there were no customers, so I decided to go for it - finally. I have always wanted to be alone when I commit to the ink and design. (Lately, my dreams increasingly center around getting up early one morning and just going for it.)


Example

I have the same exact tattoo on my other wrist but, obviously, can't take a pic of both at the same time. The weird thing is that both tattoos have the letter "E" in them. I haven't gotten them filled in yet. I think "E" is for "EVIL".


So, there was NO pain. My tattooed little bro asked me if it was a "henna" tattoo. Better not be - since I risked my rent money for it.

Hope it turns out well. I can be a real killer when someone or something gets in my way. (Just like in my dreams.)
