Pandemonium in the Casita

It all started at breakfast at Olga's...

Yella, Dan and I were eating with Keith The Car Guy when Magda walked in with her partner. Magda was getting tattoos this morning. Her partner was definitely not getting a tattoo.

It looked like a light day for Dan with only 2 small tattoos.

Then in walks a family with adult children. A family of architects and builders...neat people. The daughter wanted to come watch Dan tattoo Magda and the party was on. She is familiar with tattoos in that she has a full sleeve on one arm.

We get to the casita and Dan starts to set up. Before he really gets going, another lady shows up...someone we have never met before who is new to town. She wants to hang out and meet people. How she tracked us down in the boondocks I will never know.

Pretty soon the lady-with-the-sleeve's brothers and husband show up.

I'm up at the house trying to practice my guitar, the electric one with full distortion turned on loud, and they are drowning me out from 200 feet away!

I give up what I'm doing and go join them. Only the place is so full I have to yack at them through the open window.

What started out as two tattoos for Magda turns into 4 tattoos for 3 ladies! Magda's partner got one too, even though she thought she would never get one!

Big day for Dan!

The talk, laughter, camaraderie and raucous energy was so much fun to be around.

Got to meet a new person, got to know others better and Dan got some good money and recognition for his tattoos.

The family of builders and architects will talk him up in the community because they know about tattoos and recognized how good he is.

One of the brothers will be starting a full back piece so Dan will have work on the guy's back for several visits in the future, insuring that Dan will come back a couple of times a year.

Yay!!

Such a great day! And we haven't made it to the evening yet.

(I including a hummingbird tattoo that Dan did on a lady earlier in the week.)
