The color of passion

Mijo

I would like to use this post to talk about all the news I have in my life, about him, J, maybe the biggest news, but I think he's only for me, he's the sweetest part of my life and I'm so jealous that I wanna keep it only for me.

I'll tell you only that it's been 4 months and he makes me happy.

He's so different, different form every body I've ever liked in my life, from me, from everything it was common, and this huge difference scares me but at the same time it makes me so happy I can't almost believe it :) ... I'm smiling!!!!

The photo above is part of his face :) and every time I look at it I stop 5 seconds to think about WHY MEN NEED SO LONG EYELASHES??? this is so unfair!!!!

He's pure.

Like a Snake

The second photo is part of my thigh tattoo... now it's healing and in 2 weeks I'm gonna do the last session, I CAN'T WAIT!
Ready for more photos, and video?
I wanna create a set for my last tattoo session :) Juan is gonna love me (or kill me?!)

Now I should get ready to work.. damn I'm so lazy..

News form 2012

First session thighs tattoo by Juan Puente @ BlackHeart Tattoo

2012 is started, and yes it's gonna be a very intense and busy year like the past 2011. A year of work, school, photos, passions, friends, love (I always hope in love.... hopeless :P)
This month started in a very good way, good money at work... yes they are always welcome...
A new tattoo (photo above!). I decided it was time for some more ink (my addiction is dangerous) so I started a new one on my thighs. This is a photo from the first session, I actually did the first one right before Christmas (it was my personal Christmas present awww), but it's gonna be a very long work, maybe next week I'm gonna do the second session. I won't tell you what is it...not yet, you will see the work in progress session by session, I'm also doing some videos of my sessions and I think I'm gonna put them all together to create a reportage of my new work. I chose Juan Puente for my legs, he's great.. no, more than great! You already saw many photos of Juan, but always during other people sessions, this time I wanted him all for me, and I'm absolutely happy, he's doing a fantastic job and I'm soooo proud of my new ink.
Another great news is that I'm about to have Mau, one of my best friends from Italy, here in SF!!! He's gonna come next week and you have no idea how I'm excited!!!!!!! He's gonna stay almost 2 weeks and we decided to do a road trip between SoCal: we're going to LA; Arizona to shoot in the Grand Canyon and then straight to Nevada: Las Vegas! CAN'T WAIT!!!! and my 5D Mark ii can't wait too :)

My winter break is almost over... I have 3 more weeks and then back to school for another extra heavy semester... I'm not ready yet, not ready at all... this year was hard and I really need a long vacation, far from everything... but it's not time yet, I'll have to wait for the summer...
Scared to go back to school, but happy at the same time...

3 more weeks of freedom...
I know already they will be too fast...

Heaven and Hell

Mia - session II.....

...and today I got some color for my tattoo :) as you can see now my arm is like a sausage hot and red, i can barely see the colors... can't wait to see it finally done.. after this session I'm gonna wait a month so the colors will be perfect and then see if I want to add anything else, probably just review some stuff :)
Also Juan Puente one of the best tattoo artist here in SF gave me his Canon V-1 to let me play with a film camera! jesus he's rad!!!!!! It's gonna be hard I'm not that good with film and that camera is so heavy I feel my arms shaking after 5 seconds pointing to shoot, but it's too awesome!

And now I'm here on my bed thinking about something I don't know, now I feel so tired and empty, incomplete again... I swear I hate myself, I hate this part of me.. I don't get why after a beautiful day now i feel like shit... why i can't enjoy this moment, why???
and also i feel even worst because the only person who I'd like to talk with is sleeping, living way too far from me.. and maybe he doesn't really want to listen my damn problems...
The only thing i know is i'd like to stop my mind sometimes, now i feel like crap with no fucking reason and i miss my family, my brother more than anything and i don't' get why everything is happening
i just hate myself now.

Mia..

Mia is the other side of me, the other part that I usually hide, she is the best part.. because most of the time is too hard showing what we have inside so we prefer showing the worst part of us..

Mia is a dreamer, she is free, she is sweet and pure, she doesn't know what fear means, she's brave and she knows how to love, she's not scared to show her feelings.. she floats like a feather, she is so fragile but so strong, she looks lost sometimes, she lives in her weird state of mind, and doesn't really care about other people, but she's not selfish, she's just better than normal and ordinary people.

She lives every emotions till the end, and even though sometimes it hurts she's happy because she knows that is better live than survive.

Mia is in love.

Her love is far away from her, she's broken probably but she still happy because she wasn't scared to live and feel her passion, she has no regrets, and she's pretty sure that one day that little part of her broken heart is going to heal, she will be with him again...

I think Mia is crazy, just a little bit, she's kinda creepy sometimes but her eyes are so lovely that you can forgive her for being imperfect...

Mia is my private moment of pain, after one mad week where I thought to lose my mind, she helped me, she's gonna help me again...

get a cupcake!

OMG what a full week!!!! I didn't have time to write anything, actually sometimes I didn't have enough time to go to the bathroom... btw i did too many things this week and of course the most important was the fuc@ing TOEFL test!!!!!! and YEAH I made it!!! after 8 months studing for that damn test I made it, now I dont need to study anymore for ESL class, thank God :)
AAU is gonna start in one week and I'm super excited and a bit nervous... also I'm still looking for a new house, Im going crazy :( I have 15 days to find a new place to live and here it's really hard, SF is amazing but too expensive and right now I'm pretty poor....but I'm not gonna give up, I'll try to think pink...
Yesterday was Cassandra's bday! I spent all day with her, we went to Alamo Square, chilling at the amazing park in front of the Painted Ladies (the most famous houses in SF), and than i took her getting her bday present... a new tattoo!!!!! she is crazy for tattoos like me and we had the idea to get a tattoo together to celebrate her bday and my TOEFL (and my new life...)... we get a cupcake.. it's soo yummy!!!!!!!!! I love it!! (mine is the one on the right side!)
Today I'm off, San Francisco is gorgeous in these days, sunny and super warm, I cant believe is January!!! I'm sorry for you italians, I know the weather sucks over there :P so I'm going to join this fantastic sunny day!!
