Okay, so here’s the deal. I was thinking about maybe getting a tattoo, but since its permanent, I wasn’t too sure. I’m not going to let someone put ink on my skin if I didn’t dig their style or work. I’m not a judgmental person but if the artist doesn’t get my style then I don’t trust them to do something that is going to be on my body forever.

I was talking to a couple of my friends that already had some and they were telling me about this guy that had done a couple of their pieces. I was still a little unsure so my friend handed me his business card and I was intrigued just from that alone.

The card was like made out of some shiny material that looked similar to colored foil that you would cook with. And it had this amazing zombie looking thing with gauged ears and torn flesh. It was just so unique and exactly what I was looking for.

I called the guy and was talking to him and was asking what his work usually consisted of, what he preferred to draw, his specialty and everything else like that. Some how we got to talking about his personal style and why he chose the style of cards he did, where he got them from and everything else. He told me that it was indeed made of foil and that the zombie was just funky and cool which made me think, “ if this guy represents himself with foiled zombie cards, he’s got to be like really different.”

I was so excited to go and meet with him and work on an idea for my tattoo. Meeting him and talking to him a little I could see that his card fit him perfectly. He was unique and strange but in an insane, killer way. His work was like nothing I had ever seen before. I’m so happy that I found him to do my tattoo, all because of a business card that was passed to me.

It just goes to show you what your business card says about you and how powerful they really are.
