What’s in today’s issue

Personal Updates

I’ve been going through a burn out that is like... insanely unproductive 😂

I’m starting to believe that I either have insane PMS or have started to develop PMDD? I am hesitant to say PMDD since these symptoms don’t or at least not fully restrict my day to day activities besides wanting to mega bed rot.

Things have felt like super out of my control and keeps messing with my OCD as well as bring my anxiety and depression to a maximum. I want to try to get my shit together this month since stuff has been slow as well as I have a lot of studio things coming up and I need to get my space ready for this open studio event my art studio space is having (you’ll hear more about in this post and subsequent newsletters).

I fear that I’m letting people down even though I know I can’t control this dog shit economy and am fully aware that art and tattooing is a luxury service. I hate the thought of finding another job even though it would greatly help us and our debt. I’m not resistant but the last time I was actively looking it was failure after failure. Even though I’m highly qualified to do these jobs, my resume has been looked through by 5+ friends/professionals, and gotten interviews that had the recruiters saying they’re confident that I’ll get it… I’m not sure if it’s even possible to get a part time job.

The last position I interviewed for did reach out again but was wanting me to go through the interview process (2-3 interviews) again and I’m not sure it would be worth it when the first time they GHOSTED me. I made it through all those interviews to be fucking ghosted. Didn’t reply to any emails, messages on LinkedIn, etc. So I feel like I’m going through something that everyone is also going through.

What makes things entirely worse is that I saw multiple astrology TikTok’s about how it will be INCREDIBLY hard for Libras and or Scorpio placements (in which I have 5)😂 I don’t necessarily believe in that stuff but all these things happening to me makes me a little more open to it.

I’m trying to lock in on making more physical art to show and post more so that I can at least get some appointments rolling! 🙂‍↕️it’s difficult but I’m getting a lot done right now.

I will be having a birthday draft sale! It’ll start on my birthday (10/11) and end on Halloween. I’m hoooppppinnggg the universe doesn’t fuck me too hard this month 😂

I also have a bunch of lil Halloween flash guys available too! That post went insane on instagram so I’ll probably be making one of those “your month your lil guy” things but this time I’ll start adding “tattoo” to that so it’s super clear.

My art space’s open studio will be happening on November 15th from 12pm-6pm! I’m working with my friends who share my art studio space to fill our little studio up with a bunch of our art. I’ll also make a designated post on instagram with more info as well. You could also follow Friends of Inscape on instagram and facebook for more info too.

Here’s a peek at our door sign I designed! I wanted it to have a hand drawn feeling and I think I nailed it if I do say so myself.

Got any events and or stuff you want to see from me?

Final thoughts
