@blckriflecoffee Missed the morning, but I'm a tattoo artist here in Austin, TX inking permanent art onto folks- finally following my dreams at 42 years old after prev serving in the Army, working as a defense contractor, as a vet assistant, and as a tech company project manager, etc. ✍️🩸🤘

@Sturgie_Pooh Hanging in there- making living art and dealing with life as usual!

Valentine's Design 3 of 4- wanted to try something totally different so starting to experiment with some abstract 3D tattoo designs!

V-Day Tattoo Design 2 of 4- the Mended Heart!

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

It's February - which means yeah, all that lovey-dovey stuff- so I've worked up some Valentine's tattoo designs- this is the first of the set, a few more vastly different style designs will also be coming out between now and V-Day!

@FeverTheOctopus If you were only in Texas! But honestly if you really want it you could find someone local to do it seeing as I can't ink long distance 😂 but if you do share pics!

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

Cute in the front, sploot in the rear, that's the way we do it here... 😍

@FeverTheOctopus This kitty is one of several that inspired one of my little Friday the 13th flash pieces- thought you might get a kick out of it😹

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

Wow, looks like I've been neglecting the ol Twitterverse- here, have some artwork!

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

@Nisstro 🤣

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

Tattoos from last night- busy but fun Friday the 13th.

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

@Nisstro @trillary_banks_ 🤦🤣

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

@Deco_Noir This is just a whole new level of creepy 🫣🕷️🕸️🫨

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

My Friday the 13th flash for our sale at the shop next Friday! It's going to be a hell of a crazy day, and my first Friday the 13th at the shop 😬🫣

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

@Trobsmonkey Thank you! If you all are ever in Texas you should stop by and check it out!

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

Happy New Year everyone!

Sorry for the radio silence lately but I was busy finishing up and getting everything ready... as of today it's official- 🎉 I'm no longer an apprentice! 🥳

My tattoo ink den is finally updated & ready to go- can't wait to see what this year brings!

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

And this isn't the first time either, this is a regular occurrence for myself and many other vets I know pretty much every time we try to get through. It almost feels like they want us to just give up and go away. Some refresher training & a better call system might do wonders.

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

Now 25 minutes into holding for help with my @DeptVetAffairs Community Care issue after having been twice transferred by representatives without any notice... this after first calling the direct number provided which just gave me a busy signal?? Did I wake up and it's 1984 again?

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

Annnd I was just randomly disconnected after almost 30 minutes of wasting my time waiting for NOTHING.

@DeptVetAffairs & @VeteransHealth please do better. I work at night and missed attempts to call me early this AM and then when I try to return the calls this happens.

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

@TrinXyTrinX Congratulations and good luck! Even if you don't make it the first time it's a huge step and accomplishment!!

[🦊𝗢𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗙𝘆𝘅𝗲𝗻🦊 @OFyxen]

@BTed72 Can't wait to finish that tank tattoo for you next month- it's going to be awesome!
