on a journey Freddy man I mean from the from
the start to beginning from beginning to the
end right now where we're at and still a lot
more to go without them we wouldn't be able to
be possible we wouldn't be here like we wouldn't
make our videos we would have been discouraged
and stuff so big shout out to everybody who supports
me and my wife um and yeah so big journey you
know for a lot of people that have known my history
like i feel like a lot of people know me because
of the social media yeah half of my life has
been in social media ever since the 95 sick days
you know back in the day and stuff and i was
just a horrible person i was looking back and
watching my music videos and stuff like my old
lives and stuff and i was just a very like angry
person bro like you know what i mean and i guess
it was just a taste of um a little bit of fame
you know your head starts building up and then
like you know you think you're doing right and
you want to throw knowledge but then like you're
not you're not practicing what you're preaching
you know and that was me you know i mean hey
guys you gotta you know just keep going and don't
let the haters whatever and then i'm there like
calling people out to go outside the house. Hit
the bro! Hit the consider bro! A lot of people
tell me like, are you like, do you regret any
of the stuff or whatever? And I'm like, nah,
that's all part of growing up. You know what
I mean? I look at myself and I'm like, yeah,
that looks stupid. You know, but God has done
just an amazing job in my life. And just like,
again, my wife too, you know, she's been such
a blessing in my kids. my friends and like you
guys, you know that always support and stuff
so It was just the point of my life where I just
I was just falling in drugs You know what? I
mean, I just feel very depressed I know a lot
of people go to depression and that's one of
the things that they choose or like burning themselves
and stuff like that and it's a tough journey
bro, like it's not easy, you know, and a lot
of people feel alone and they feel like So again,
this is another thing if you have to have the
right partner if you have the partner that does
not support or like You're trying to do good
and like stops you from doing good, right? You
know what? I mean and putting all these thoughts
in your head and stuff like that that matters
a lot So guys if you are in a toxic relationship,
just you can always walk away You know, you always
have a chance like you always have a choice if
you're getting hit in a relationship or like
anything anything There's always a choice. So
I recommend not stay there, you know, do it for
you. Even though you have kids It's a tough decision
It was a tough decision for me to leave my kids
because I was super attached to my kids right
around that time And I just needed to do it for
me. So I decided to leave, you know work on myself
Because I had left My kids were like my everything
so like I went down the drain, bro I started
doing drugs again and I know I was downward spot
pretty much like a like a downward spiral Yeah,
so my life was always like I would do something
cool and like yeah, like I would do something
cool music or do like a feature and Oh, yeah,
that's cool. That's cool. We'll do a song or
something, but I would put a smile on social
media but then like like what outside of the
camera it was just like Horrible, you know, this
is a war inside of my head, bro. You know what
I mean? It's real. Like everybody who says, no,
it's chiflazón. Like it's all in your head. Like,
yeah, it's all in your head, but it's real, you
know? And... I decided to keep moving forward,
I went through a little spiral, you know, and
my wife always encouraged me to go to church
and I'm not even speaking and trying to put religion
into nobody or religion into, hey, you're supposed
to go to church and no. Right, right. Like, you
know, this is just what works for me, this is
what works for me. You found your own guidance,
your own guidance. Much respect and everything
to everybody's religion and stuff like that.
So my wife started encouraging me to go to church
and I would tell her, no, no, I don't want to,
I don't want to. And I would even go messed up
to church sometimes. You know what I mean? And
I was just like, nah, you know, like I don't
want to be here. I don't. I miss my kids. Everything
in my life is going, I guess, wrong. Even though
I had good things, like I had her, and I had
my stepkids, and I had my career, and popular
donors, so probably nobody was listening to our
stuff. I was still very sad on the inside. I
was missing something. So literally little by
little no, I want to give a big shout out to
remarkable church and everybody all the members
from there the praise and worship team pastor
Robert everybody because they never stopped like
Helping me. I always thought that no, I don't
want to go to church because they're gonna judge
me. I have tattoos in my face, right? Right,
you know, and that's the first thing everybody
says like church cuz I've touched in my face
and I go and they judge me Hey, that is very
real bro. There was a lot of churches out there
Yes, and I'll say that and I'll put it out there.
There's a lot of churches in the RGB that are
wrong. You're not supposed to deny somebody because
they have text in their face or because they're
how they're dressed or whatever. Right, right.
That's not the way it is. People are starting
to use religion or churches as like a norm thing.
Like, oh, there's rules here. You have to do
this. You have to do that, bro. Jesus said, all
who look for me, come to me. You know what I
mean? Right, right, right. I feel like that's
something that needs to be changed and a lot
of people get discouraged and because of that
people get discouraged like you see they're judgmental
who are they judging and then you hear the same
model all the time yeah like oh christians you're
real judgmental not everybody's like that right
and i have to learn to accept that right so there
were certain little boundaries that i needed
to jump you know what i mean while going through
this life change you know like that the the judging
and then like i'm not good enough and i would
always have that in my head like i'm not good
enough i'm not good enough and look what i've
done and i'm a bad father and this metal whatever
and then like the pastor tells us all the time
bro like hey stop putting that in your life stop
thinking about that negativity stop condemning
yourself that's not what god wants you to do
he doesn't want you to condemn you he's not there
to condemn you he said it's like hey you messed
up okay i see that you realize that yes i realize
that let's keep pushing forward you know what
i mean Don't don't don't don't stop and and and
because what are you gonna do get depressed?
If you're an alcoholic start buying beer start
going down the drain And then it's all those
people that are posting on social media trying
to seek help like oh, I don't know what to do
in life I want to do something to myself No,
there's a lot of people that do seek then they
don't know where else to go and then there are
people that are like do that for cloud Which
I don't expect, you know, I mean like your attention,
you know, but there are a lot of people bro and
We're gonna talk about it as we go on right about
the whole Tuesdays the Bible studies that I do
in my tattoo shop, right? But So I started going
bro. My life wasn't like oh, I went to church
and I changed right away No, it was a process
months and months right right right of giving
up and getting back on and Arguing one week arguing
with my wife another would not arguing with my
wife, right? I've been sober for a good long
time already and I praise God for that that I
can say Do the thoughts come to my head sometimes?
Yes. It is very real. Addiction is a very real
thing. And thoughts will always come to your
head. You know what I mean? But you start molding
yourself and God molds you to become stronger.
Because now what was hard for me and like whatever,
as soon as any thought of me doing drugs pops
in my head, first thing I do is, God, this is
not for me. Take it away from me. And I'm not
even saying that to say like right right, you
know I'm saying bro like like yeah, I like you
need like it I close my eyes I pray to my higher
power and it goes away bro Life is hard, especially
when you come from like prison my prison background,
you know I served five years and even up top
of that even more in federal You know what I
mean? Um, and I come from a world where it's
respect I come from a world where you're used
to be being a regular citizen and then you get
caged up like an animal you know and your mentality
just changes so when i got out of prison in 2019
you know this is going a little bit more bad
um i was an animal bro the system thinks that
they're changing people in tdc but they're not
you know there was guards in there that like
do you lose all type there is no oh privacy there
is no privacy in tdc you know you have female
guards bro like telling you like oh Want you're
taking a shower and they look at you and they
flash the lights and they want you to jack off
and I Understand a lot of guys. Oh, yeah. Oh,
yeah. There's a lot of guys that are like that.
I wasn't raised like that. Hey man, like To me,
that's some sort of right, right You know and
they would make us and then if you wouldn't do
it Then they would write you up and say hey like
oh like oh he was masturbating while I was in
the picket You know, it's a prison is a very
messed up place right you know then so that and
fighting every day over a chocolate bar over
a soup over the tv because one wants to watch
a a novella and somebody wants to watch something
so your mentality comes with that whole different
thing bro like you know what i'm saying it's
different bro change the channel don't look at
me no bro come on a lot of people think oh nothing
but killers yeah there's a lot of killers and
they're fighting to watch You know So for me
to get that mentality away and the addiction
mentality away And to just like give all that
away and just get to God. It's just crazy To
me it was it's gonna be hard. I'm not worth it.
I'm not Worthy to even be in church. I'm not
worthy. I play in the prison worship and prison
worship amazing But um, I Always thought to myself
I'm not worthy God like look at all my all the
things that I've done or whatever I'm not even
worthy to even like for any good things to happen
to me and he was wrong, you know He's given me
all these blessings. He gave me a beautiful wife
that I've always asked for. Someone that's gonna
respect me and push me forward on my step kids
that love me very much. He's given me a lot of
opportunities to meet a lot of good people that
have shown me a good example and know that yeah,
you can still have your lifestyle. You don't
have to just give. everything away and just get
the Bible and just watch follow Jesus yeah follow
Jesus and get your Bible right but a lot of people
take it to the max bro that a lot of people think
like no no no what are you doing don't listen
to that you're gonna no no no yeah doesn't work
like that bro you can't change people right it's
the only God can make you like change like you
feel it inside of you so now people tell me like
how do you know when something's bad and I'm
like I don't know bro I just have like this feeling
inside of me. Right. When before like I didn't
care and now all of a sudden like I do and that's
when I'm like you know what that's I shouldn't
do this. Right. And most of the time like I'm
right. If you have to question you shouldn't
be doing it. Yeah if you have to question it
you shouldn't be doing it. Exactly. It's absolutely
right. Exactly. So my journey I keep on walking
in my journey and this is me walking you know
having mistakes having little arguments with
people you know falling out of character sometimes
but this was all me. Changing the process I got
baptized and ever since I got baptized, bro All
I want to do is just like I continue my life.
I have my music with popular donor You know,
I have my tattoo shop, you know, but I also try
to be a light an influencer a lot of people I
don't consider myself. I don't like to put the
label as oh, I'm an influencer I'm an influencer
people put that label on me, right? But um, it's
like I tell people influencers. What are your
influence? You know like I feel like I have a
platform that I have followers not just from
the valley But from other states and I feel that
I can if I am I'm able to throw a positive message
out there You know, that's the reason why we
have the Bible studies at my tattoo shop and
at first I was thinking in my head I was like
I told her I told my wife I was like, you know
what babe? something told me and I knew it was
God right and it's like I was up there playing
music and the prison worship and You know, God
told me to do a Bible study at the tattoo shop
and she was like You know, right that's what
I said like I can do some crazy stuff sometimes
like pop in your head and you're like Are you
sure you know what? And we've been doing it growing
and no praise to God like it's been such a place
blessing We've met a lot of people that are broken
just like us, you know a lot of people that just
want to get away from the house from the wife
or from the husband or from the kids you know
it gets stressful sometimes and they just want
to you know come and learn we don't just like
okay open up your bible to jolt this and jesus
walked and we don't we we talk in the bible we're
gonna throw you stuff that is actually gonna
help you you know real stuff we're gonna talk
about how you get how you get stressful because
you get bills after you just paid another one
where does my money go We're gonna talk about
how you can't communicate with your partner.
Let's see what the problem is. And you might
know how to communicate with your partner so
you know how to do it so you tell him how to
do it. And then he might know how to do what
you're struggling so he's helping you. And the
only beautiful thing is that the difference between
us and AA meetings and all that stuff is. The
court system requires you to go to AA when you
go to probation and parole and all that stuff.
So a lot of people don't even want to be there.
Right? No one's forcing you to go to our Bible
studies or to any Bible study. Big shout out
to everybody who has Bible studies and fellowships
and their businesses. There's a lot more than
we thought there was. There's some other tattoo
shop here in Hardin's in Texas. Big shout out
to them. Underground Tattoos and they do Bible
studies too. That's awesome. And it's very...
and it's very cool to see that you know barbershops
and stuff like that yeah so that's the reason
why we do it because as job as influencers is
to influence people to do better and you talk
about influence i mean i have jenna here because
jenna could back me up on this i mean jenna could
back me up on this because you know i've seen
freddy when he first started out you know slowly
through the 956 and then he kept on coming, kept
on popping loner you know through the years I've
seen him grow up not only as a young guy but
turned into a young strong man now and what I
replay every time when I see Freddy is because
I had never seen Freddy like the others I see
Freddy's all laid back has a good time you know
he's all you know relaxed you know relaxed I
was joking around and when I had him on the pod
For that in particular episode everybody knows
what episode I'm talking about It was a whole
different aspect of it. I was a little nervous
I'm like, okay, that's when you and your buddy
came on and there was a big argument with that
whole situation I'm not gonna get into but at
the same time I'm doing this interview. I'm seeing
you from across the room and You can see that
you're you're you're passionate But you're very
upset at the same time because you're like it's
like you were trying to signal. This is not you
Yeah, this is not you. I mean, can you take us
back at that moment? You see that all from the
money you met him to now Well the Freddy that
I met in the very beginning was just He was he
was a character. Yeah, he He was the Freddy the
old Freddy, you know, I don't care. I'm outside
your house come out whatever and it's like dang
freddy you know and i would see him on facebook
on his lives and i'm like who's he trying to
fight now you know like it was just so when when
that happened me and freddy i freddy and i had
already you know Gotten together. I don't think
we were we're married already or we're not what
we weren't married yet, right? No, I don't think
so. I I think it was like right before we got
married and I was like, yes Yes, it was. Okay.
Yes. We're just trying to be better people now
and this and what it took What it took for me
to get that old Freddy out, you know and and
with God's help thank goodness, you know big
help, but You know that was when me and Freddie
were really trying to just be better people and
that that time was just It was so hard because
it was like right in the middle of the time where
it was like Freddie's like is he gonna fail or
is he gonna continue to do good right right now
and that really was his breaking one of his breaking
points and So I was like man like I was nodding
my head the whole time because I cannot believe
that he let somebody get to him that much, but
then I couldn't believe the man who wouldn't
let him change. It's so ugly seeing how hard,
seeing how hard Freddie was trying to be a better
person, and then to see somebody come in and
like, nah, nah, nah. Right. Trying to sucker
him back to the way he used to be. And for me
it was like, man, Freddie, please don't fail
this test. like this is just another test you
know he gives you your trials and and i truly
believe freddy passed that trial and and made
it Right and the first time I met you I went
over to get a get actually this bad boy right
here done and Freddie introduced me to her Okay,
and then I'm getting the tattoo done and I'm
looking at you like okay, I'm looking at denim
like No, but you know, I you know There's always
that the yin and yang that usually works and
when I saw that like well Let's see how this
rolls off. So time passed by this episode happened
with the whole thing with that and then certain
of y 'all get hitched and then it's like blog
after blog after blog was like look at these
guys but they're just you bro is your fault it's
your my fault And you're like, you guys should,
like, make a video. Oh, that's what I didn't
say. Y 'all should do a podcast. And you know
what? You assholes. He literally said, you should,
y 'all should do a podcast. I actually did it.
That was so funny. And I was like, no. You're
the reason why we have enough to pay our bills.
Thank you. See, Freddy, this was the first time
that I failed. No. I give back 10%. Going back
to that like it was hard bro. It was hard to
change me and a lot of the people Like at the
time I had issues like pipe gang and stuff like
that bro, and we all squashed our stuff Well,
and it was like and it's gone because like bro
being Murray and like and big shout out to them
and unknown and all their team we were exchanging
words it was to the point where we were gonna
fight bro it was around that time where i was
yeah i wanted to change and then people would
just come in boom like hit you with something
and it's like nah bro too mean type of thing
right and uh i gave it up to a gnome bro he came
up to me he's like hey bro can i talk to you
and at the show and then he said look bro we're
you know we're all artists you all want to work
and you know we'll let the past you know be bite
on yeah yeah bro go for it and you know me and
all them and and there's been a lot of people
bro that had a beef with me before and I see
him outside bro in the streets and stuff and
I'm walking and I see them and then like I'm
just walking and I get like a thought like and
then something tells me go back and say hi to
him you're done what are you talking about right
go back and say hi to him the little Jiminy Cricket
yeah straight straight back she even got scared
she's like oh my god here it goes here it goes
I was like I hope them push his car that's crazy
like why would i do that right right and i tell
myself sometimes like why the hell did you do
that and i get mad at her and i'm like babe i'm
so upset she's like why because i don't do that
stuff you know i don't i hate it but it's changed
bro yeah it's not because excuse my language
you're a fiend you're a cat you know you're a
pea right it's because you you know that that's
the right thing to do Because we have so much
pride in ourselves we're like I'm not gonna like
no if someone does something to me. I don't care
I'm gonna do it right back to him. You see it's
that mentality that's destroying us, right? Because
now you have it in your head all the time like
just planning it out instead of like that's one
of the things i've noticed when people like prejudices
are so hard to let go yeah especially when you're
trying to change the way for whatever reason
you have beef with someone if you're not ready
and willing at that moment to let it go it's
just going to keep going on and on yeah bro like
it's nothing i feel like a lot of people go through
a lot of things that's not worth going to prison
or not worth dying or not worth or if like doing
this whole show like a lot of people are trying
to especially like artists or like people that
are trying to be social media uh influencers
artists or whatever you have to have that that
character if you start doing stuff another experience
like when i was in the 956 or even in the beginning
areas of a popular loner i was still trying to
act like the tough guy or whatever not acting
i was you know what i mean but Like, you wanna
put that act on and it doesn't go good for you.
You're gonna lose opportunities, doors are gonna
close for you, people are not gonna want you
to perform at their places. Like, it's not a
good look for you, you know? And that's some
advice that I would give to people too. Like,
if you really wanna be an influencer, influence
stuff that's gonna help people. Right because
you're gonna do something stupid and then their
deaths and then when somebody dies because of
you Because our mouth have a lot of power bro
That's what i've been learning at church like
our mouth can hurt someone more than our fists
You know, yeah, our mouth is a powerful weapon.
So whatever we declare on somebody it can have
major effects Yeah, not many people not many
people know that words words cut deep words cut
deep. I mean actions hurt yeah but words they
they they scar they can scar deep not only just
and the pain of those words can last a lot longer
too no shit i mean it goes it goes either way
because you can be the nicest guy in the world
but you come at somebody not physically but verbally
and non -stop it's you're setting damage and
separate not just mentally but you know emotionally
yeah you know what i mean you know what i'm talking
about so yeah i totally understand what you're
saying man So you go through this phase, you're
finally out of the woods, like I have to say,
out of the darkness. Out of the darkness, you're
coming into an open light, you open up something
you love to do. You're very good at it. Being
a tattoo artist, you finally open up your shop.
But before you start opening up this shop, tell
me a little bit about these, I know, I know I
inspired it. these blogs you guys do man they
are they're epic I would just I would just mention
it right now one of my favorite my favorite one
is that uh Freddy's in front of the camera saying
for all the husbands out there when your wife
tells you to do something do it I'm looking at
freedom what what's wrong free oh man something
happened so what's wrong Freddy man what's wrong
free Sure enough if you look to the left hand
side in the reflection of the mirror the person
holding camera has a nice golden knife It's a
nice cleaver knife I'm like these blogs I'm gonna
get out of you first because they know Freddy's
gonna beat around the bush Who comes up with
the ideas for these blogs? Freddy does. Freddy
does. There's some that you've come up with.
I can't stand, not that I can't stand it, but
I'm just like Freddy again and he's like you
want, you want it? I'm like okay fine. And then
I'll get you a purse. Okay fine. I still haven't
gotten my purse for a while. Hey that was another
one. She walked on water bro. She walked on,
you owe her that purse. For two purses. I don't
like to put out there how many people we help
who we help You know Follow the leaders you always
have to follow people that are doing it bro like
inspirational people and see how they're doing
it See what's working for them, right? It's working
for them. Then the formula might work for you,
right? You don't so do it So, you know, thank
God it worked for us and we started getting a
little bit more money through YouTube also just
we see them in all these complication videos
yeah from other people like our videos and then
my daughter's kids uh my daughter's uh kids right
my daughter's uh friends they they message her
they message us and they're like hey your parents
But I put them on video and my son will call
me like dad dad show yourself and I'm like dad,
right? You're my dad So we get a lot of that
bro, we go we go to places sometimes we go to
a stores in the end we get a lot of compliments,
you know, people take pictures a lot of love
bro, and we were very humble people That's the
famous line you know i'm not the only one in
the spotlight now it's her too so it's both of
us yeah and i feel like it's such an amazing
thing to be able to share that with your partner
you know what i mean especially if you love them
which i do love you very very much oh you're
holding a knife you're a wonderful wonderful
woman yeah i am not afraid to say you know i
love my wife very much you know and um I feel
like a lot of men if you really love your wife
put her out there, you know, I mean like Tell
the world how much you feel about her and I trust
me bro Like if you have her in a bad mood if
she's in a bad mood and she's mad at you and

it i seen the last video saw it's quite a few
people in there yeah they show up so like i was
saying earlier um it's just we've gotten so many
people going and it was just the vision not that
we doubted it but in my head it's like realistically
we're like oh maybe like It's just amazing to
see like I said all these people that come and
I do offer $10 tattoos spiritual tattoos on those
days, but that's I don't care if I tattoo or
it don't to me You know, I just do it for the
people because I might encourage somebody to
go for the tattoo But once they're already there,
they're getting the seeds planted, you know,
we're gonna and like I said before we don't Crack
religion on you, bro We just basically like share
stories on you know testimonies and a lot of
people are telling me tell us all the time Like
God doesn't use me. I'm like, yes, he does It
doesn't matter, it's just so you know that you're
not alone. You know that God's there to guide
you. And that sharing is what helps build the
community. We've got Catholics, we've got Buddhists,
we've got all types of people that come. People
have never even been to church, went to our Bible
study. it's something great that we get to see
and help people grow cupcakes they serve cupcakes
in church Tattoo shop and it goes back to it
for all the people. I don't like going to tears
I don't like that. I don't know what to do, but
I don't like going to all those crazies Well
come to the tattoo shop. You might just find

your tattoo doing? Make them one keep them, right?
Nothing, but make sure that you care, right?
They're gonna come back they're gonna enjoy your
experience with you they're gonna be like you
know what this is like it's therapy what do you
do when you go to a spa if they don't like the
way you got treated at that spa you're never
gonna go again right right right right you know
and it doesn't matter if you're the best tattoo
artist in the world if you have a shitty attitude
bro you're not so when you first started like
for instance myself uh i have something here
Want you to look at I want you to open But this
is something I bought for myself, but I want
you to take a look at it I mean for somebody
that's trying to go into the business trying
to learn pick something like this up, I'm gonna
show it to Freddy and see if Freddy can walk
us through it. Little by little, I'm gonna hand
that over to you right there so you can take
a look at that. You wanna open it up real slow.
Well, this is a black bag. Nah, bro, and I encourage
everybody to follow your dreams, you know? If
your kids like to draw, if your kids start getting
into tattooing, you know, tattooing might be
a cool thing. Don't be that parent being like,
I'm loco, es el diablo, bro. Yeah, yeah, I got
you. I support my family tattooing. Right. You
know, me and my wife, we both do, because we
both work at the shop. um and don't don't stop
that dream so i have a lot of friends of mine
they're like my kids want to get into tattooing
and i'm like do it bro because they're the future
yeah i'll tell you one thing freddy makes more
than i would make when i worked for the hospital
in a day you know what and i and i and i and
i believe that i do believe it is the truth i've
i've seen some artists that go out there and
they charge arm and a leg but the work is amazing
you know what i mean but yeah i i i i can hear
what you're preaching yeah bro so i mean take
us a walk through everything so basically this
right here is a this is a well first of all it's
a tattoo kit this is a tattoo kit guys as you
can see yeah um so basically this is a practice
skin right here so this is what people buy instead
of like practicing on yourself or on your friend
and messing up their lives So a lot of people
like they start practicing W like right here.
Yeah, I'm ready to tattoo. Yeah. No, no, that
is your first mistake Always make sure that you
always put practice always know what you're doing,
right? There's a lot of videos on YouTube that
are gonna help you Yeah, um growing up me. Unfortunately,
nobody wanted to show me, you know, it was all
just watching people, you know And a lot of people
told me you're trash Nobody's gonna get tattoos
from you like you're never gonna have a tattoo
shop like nothing, right? God is good, right?
Right. So yeah, so this is basically our practice
gift these right here these are called needles
so these are cartridges so back in the day people
used to use the longer needles yeah with the
with the like yeah yeah yeah the sound of death
right yeah it's very inconvenient bro because
there's a lot of more things that you got to
do add to that tattoo machine and then a lot
of people would like they wouldn't dispose of
them they would reuse them so they would disinfect
them yeah yeah yeah nah and then so you came
up with the disposable uh needles is it okay
if i open one yeah you can open one yeah okay
so these are disposable needles right here and
this basically i'll show you right now where
it gets clicked on so this is wrapped this is
an adhesive wrap and this is what's going to
give you the grip on your tattoo gun okay and
it's also going to keep it from ink falling or
like Chemicals falling into your tattoo. You
don't want to be so rapid This is sanitary you
need this if you go to a tattoo shop and they
don't put this on run away It's a sleeve that
goes okay, so this is what I'm talking about
so this sleeve right here This is like going
back to school, you know? Guys, what do you do
when you're going to have sex with somebody?
You put in a little protection, right? Lock the
door. This is a pain condom. You're at the gym,
me in here. You know what I mean? So, these are
very good to have. This is something important.
This is something sanitary. So that way you have
your touch going clean. No ink is going to fall.
Remind me now so that you tell the boys that
there is an E story. Oh, okay. My bad. And so
this is the touch of good right here guys. So
this is not your, you know, like a smooth buzz,
man. This is very silent. When I got out of prison,
that's when I started seeing these and I was
like, what is this? Was like no, I don't want
this and little by little grown like I started
using this and and it was amazing It's a great
gun to use. Um, I rather have this they go the
old school way, you know So basically this wrap
right here. This is to just to put the test Right,
of course when it already has everything on there
Of course, you're gonna be wearing gloves the
whole right yeah number one thing is a surgical
glove no matter what thing is safety guys like
it's Like put your gloves on, you know Getting
bacteria and like blood from other people is
very bad. You can die from it. You can get diseases
You don't know what they have HIV I love the
vibes this morning. I didn't even want to leave
when we were done. I'm going back tomorrow morning
it's basically going to look like something like
this right and then you're going to add your
plastic and it's going to go something like that
there you go that's how you wrap up your gun
okay all right so on the needle part this is
the needle and a lot of people are like why are
tattoos so expensive because you're using a lot
of materials a lot of people think oh it's just
oh that's why it's trying to get super expensive
not because the materials and now with all this
thing from iran and all this thing with china
and everything that happened supplies are super
expensive right right so the needle part this
is a cartridge it goes like this it goes in there
you just put it in there and then just twist
and it locks and it locks in doesn't come off
and there you go that's your touch you can set
up right to be right there um let me see what
else you got here what is this that's it so this
is stencil paper which i have in my hands So
this is you know how a lot of people like mechanics
have oil in their hands your whatever you want
to tattoo it stencils on a different paper and
then you put it on but actually with i think
there's uh it should be a like a stencil cream
oh there it is yeah so there's a thing called
stencil cream uh this is different ones i like
using the the green the green stuff the green
stuff one um and basically you you put it on
the you put a little bit on the well it was open
uh you basically put a little bit on the skin
And then you just put the pattern in the sticks.
It's like sure Right. Oh This would be like the
battery So yeah, and then when you have your
caps and this is where you put your inks inside
these caps and you have different Now, I do not
recommend for you to use these inks that come
with these tattoo guns on the skin because they
are coming toxic and because they're just bad.
These are just meant to use for practice skins.
So guys, whenever you get a simple tattoo gun
like this off of Google, eBay, wherever you get
it from, do not use this on anybody's skin. This
is just for the practice skin. You know what
I'm saying? Don't be like, oh, I don't care.
We're telling you right now, we're being the
first ones to tell you safety is first. you don't
know what you could do to somebody right you
can mess somebody's up skin arm for the rest
of their lives face whatever with having a shitty
tattoo that they're gonna have to pay even more
money to get covered up or they're gonna regret
it and not just that but you may cause somebody
to get HIV you may cause somebody to get a disease
and that's that's a crime bro yeah that's a crime
right so I'm not going to discourage people that
do tattoos at their home because that's where
I started at at home I tattooed so many people
at so many different houses and I would do house
calls and all that stuff but little by little
bro I would go to places where like the kid would
be crying shitted in their diapers and the parents
rather get the tattoos and to go help the kid
I've been to all the places where they don't
even have electricity bro and they want me to
be tattooing that was during my Stages of tattooing
right? That's all I needed money. So I was calls
I've been you go to places that you don't even
know where you're going bro, like you know, I'm
saying and Safety is first. So I Would recommend
you go to like a place not just because I have
a shop now But go to a place where they're certified
go to a place where you know, it's gonna be clean
and sanitary Yeah, go in the place or always
research your artists. I didn't tell people if
you don't want to come get It's cool. I'm not
going to hate you for it. But whenever you go
with a tattoo artist, make sure you research
your tattoo artist. Because there's tattoo artists
out there that are drug addicts. They're perverts.
There's many cases. There's been a lot of people
exposing people that work at tattoo shops where
the tattoo artist is a pervert. And I'm just
being real. you know and a lot of people don't
speak up because they're traumatized by it right
right i feel like if you're gonna get a life
-changing experience which is a tattoo you want
to go to a place where you know you're gonna
be you're gonna feel right and i feel like you're
gonna be looked at or like sexualized or you
know things like that no i'm just a lot of girls
that are like that you know uh we've had not
the pleasure but of dealing with people like
that too in my life you know uh disrespectful
people you know but um there's a lot of people
bro that just this is their first tattoo or they
just want i've had so many heard so many stories
from clients i had a bad experience over here
i had a bad experience over there and i i won't
say where but um it just goes hey artists step
it up you know you're dealing with people you're
dealing with people's lives so these are all
things that i learned along the way too don't
get me wrong i was one of those guys you know
i mean now you got to do things right bro you
know and especially having a business right now
having quality work means everything. Yeah. Yeah.
And I want, that's one of the reasons I was telling
Chu about two weeks ago, I go, I got a new little
tattoo set up. I want to take it to Freddie when
he comes in. So you can take a look at it. Tell
me what he thinks. Am I missing anything? But
that was the big aspect of it. Cause my wife
was telling me, are you gonna do it on your skin?
I don't think you should do it. I go, ah. I don't
know you know what I mean let me let me get a
hold of freddy first and i'm gonna take a look
at it you see and that and that right there which
was a very a big a big plus on what freddy said
stuff that you order like on amazon and stuff
like that it's actually a starter kit that comes
with the actual skin to why you want to start
on it you know for me that didn't know i would
have fucking gone straight with that ink into
my into my skin because oh look i tried look
it's gonna do what i'm gonna do have you ever
seen like your friends that have tattoos and
they're like oh yeah my friend did it in my house
and they had it was supposed to be like black
and it's black and it's like blue or green and
it's like faded that's that ink bro yeah and
a lot of people have bad um reactions to it right
you know and it's very common especially in the
earth everywhere right but in the rgb mexicano
bro you know i mean us like oh come the way let
me practice i'm going to be the next tattoo artist
and all of a sudden you see everybody trying
to be a tattoo artist and i'm not saying it because
we've got a gun right but if you're going to
buy a machine and you're going to pursue it then
pursue it right don't destroy someone's life
or don't do it just because you want to try right
right you have a kid that wants to learn teach
you want whatever i encourage you go with a tattoo
artist research them first you know make sure
they're good and and tell them hey you know what
my son wants to learn you know an apprenticeship
we do that at our tattoo shop too i don't know
i don't know if you ever went through this but
in high school you know you had you had the little
The little high schoolers, they thought they
were badasses. Oh yeah. They're getting the black
or the blue ink pen and they're putting the little
staple in the thing and they're just going to
town. Old school, yeah. That's a tattoo. You're
getting a tattoo. I'll top that. That just reminds
me of that. I'll even top that, bro. I remember
