battery-powered hummingbird

this fine fellow gets tattooed every year around (and for) his birthday. i ran into him at a local music store and we set a date for this year's tattoo event. everything went really smoothly, he already had a design that had been drawn up by an artist from San Diego ready to go and everything...

so he shows up the day of his appointment on time and ready to go and while he's filling out the paperworks, the power goes out in our whole quadrant of downtown. being that the primary energy source responsible for modern tattooing is electricity, this was a bit of a problem.... fast forward two hours and the damned power is still out, but we have set up an alternate energy source. just as i hook up the battery and get the ol' machines buzzing, the juice comes back on! after all the waiting we decided that this tattoo was meant to be battery-powered and did it that way. viva dissimilar metals!!!
also, had a great time talking music and gear!!! if you're on the central coast, get thee down to
