I have great respect for the working class. Blood, sweat and tears all week long for order and growth. Truly the backbone of this country. I grew up in the working class, I've had many jobs before I started tattooing. I started working at 14 and haven’t stopped since. I’ve worked as a #beekeeper, in #construction, as a #electrician, in #retail(skate/surf shop, macys/suit and ties, home depot) #towerwork for cell phone companies, #ditchwork ... to name a few, all of that taught me work ethic, and the value of the people I was working along side.  Much respect to all my brothers and sisters who labor. We are all self made.  #pursuitofhappiness #selfmade  #duespaid
