"Babe, We are going to buy an ambulance and we are going to fix it up and hit bike rallys!!""What time is it?"
"6:30"
"Oh, okay baby. Go back to bed."
Jaunuary: The ambulance dream was in our sites.
Feburay: Closer to reaching that first goal.
March: PURCHASED AMBULANCE. Crazy, I know but we did it.
With that big purchase behind us, we went ahead and decided to go work Spring Break 2012. Inkie did her 2nd small tattoo on some Spring Breaker who wanted FREE INK.
We did purchase a Harley Davidson as a reward for ourselves, so our daily driver wasn't the ambulance and if we were going to do bike rally's by all means, we WILL NEED A BIKE!!
Spring lead into Summer and we worked on someone's time, helping someone else pay their rent and their bills. The Island is fun, when your NOT WORKING. Other then that, it's just a place to call EMPLOYED.
The end of Summer came approaching fast. And it was time to move. September we were out of there, to go back and tattoo clients that have been waiting for our return.
We started to ride. We were out in the middle of Hill Country Texas. Did the 3 Twisted Sisters ride with a good friend of ours.

Making plans for our next road trip.
Another small tattoo tour that will consist of

Kerrville, TX
San Antonio, TX
Magnolia,TX
Spring,TX
Conroe, TX
Canyon Lake, TX. Where we booked our THIRD RALLY with the Hill Country Road Runners! They are selling pre-sale tickets for the tattoo raffle. We couldn't be more honored to help because the President is our cupid. :)
Busy, Busy, Busy.
We run tires off our truck (we have bought 6 tires for the damn thing but none seem to last very long). We have battled a fuel leak (which finally fixed), transmission problems that are intermittent and batteries that couldn't keep a charge (which have finally been replaced), BUT some how we always make it to our clients.
The Ambulance no longer looks like an Emergency vehicle. For insurance purposes, we had to take off all the BELLS but it still WHISTLES!! Ha ha It got a color change. Black and Orange strips are more appropriate for HD lovers. Plumbing is still in the works but closer every day.
If it wasn't for our friends, family and clients. We wouldn't be able to do this without your support. YOUR BELIEVING IN US and helping make our dreams a reality. We work hard to put together every trip. It takes time, effort, mileage, emails, calls, texts, maps and networking. We try to provide a service and we try to conduct ourselves as such.
Thank you everyone from the bottoms of our hearts.
2012 is far from being over.
We still have to survive this next Tattoo Tour, bike rally and then we move to OKLAHOMA to call it home. And there is where we create another list of goals, as well as, plan for our next season bike rally tours. :)
This Thanksgiving, we are THANKFUL for your support.
Two More months left in the year and so many more memories will be made......
