I like the show Friends and graffiti. I work in a coffee shop my mother owned. I like fries. I have tattoos. My father died.  I have a commemorative tattoo for him. My tattoo for my father says 'for you I shall live'. I've never been to Michigan. I have been to Eureka and the surrounding region. I think that you would find Fort Humboldt State Park worth seeing. Fort Humboldt State Park is close to the coast. The Sequoia Park Forest and Garden are also in the area you are visiting. I want to know more about the tree that can be driven through. Carson Mansion is near where you are visiting.
I am married.  I have two adult sons.  I grew up in San Francisco. I travel in my work. I went to Michigan on a work trip. I work in sales. I like fishing. I eat fish. I have a wife and sons who also enjoy fishing. I am planning a fishing trip off the California coast. We will drive to Eureka and visit Humboldt County. The coast is near where I am planning to visit. I have never been to Eureka before. The Sequoia Park Forest and Garden contains Sequoias Trees. I have plans to visit more national parks in the future. I do not know the history of the Carson Mansion.
I am thinking about getting a new tattoo for my mom to match the one for my dad. What do you think? That sounds like a great way to honor your parents. I don't have any tattoos myself, but I've thought about it. Maybe the names of my wife or sons That is a great idea.  I would also add their birth dates as well.  You should take time to think about what font you would want to use. I am a little scared of needles though. Were your tattoos painful? Most of them were not.  It really depends on where on your body you get them.  Most of mine are on areas that didn't hurt.  The one on my foot and the one behind my ear did hurt a good bit.  Where were you thinking about getting it? I hadn't really thought about it! Maybe upper arm or upper back? But I'm no tattoo expert. And I'd have to get permission from my wife first, LOL Definitely talk to her first.  I had a friend that didn't talk to his wife and just came home with a tattoo one day.  It led to a huge fight - both about the money he spent and not discussing it with her.  He slept on my couch for over a week! Oh no! Yeah, you don't want to spring something like that on your spouse. I don't think you mentioned before, are you married? No.  I haven't found anyone that could deal with me or that I could deal with for more than a few months.  At this point, I have given up on the idea of getting married and want to focus on my artwork. There's nothing wrong with being on your own. You've got to focus on meeting your own needs first. Have you done any interesting art/graffiti lately? I probably shouldn't be saying this, but I put up a large mural on the side of the local Community Center.  People seem to like it - at least everyone except the administrators of the center.  Everyone is trying to figure out who did it.   Wow! I have to say that sounds awesome. You're like Banksy, haha. I'd love to see it
