I've been tattooing a lot today, but did only one tattoo.
It is so cold outside, I'd love to read, but I have to finish my homework for the Uni. I don't remember how drawing feels.... eh

Winter is here!

This year I've decided to not try to be good at my studies anymore. I got a little bit tired of trying every single year and not getting the right result. My main thing this year is to get at least positive grades and that's all I wanted. However, there has been two exams already and I got higher grades than I ever did during these two years. The one that's been today was so successful that I got 10 out of 10. OMG! 

So, anyways, I am a little busy with the exams + some tattoos. Not too much recently, because our currency is changing and I will have less customer I guess. Tomorrow I am heading back to my home town for one last tattoo and then we are going to the village to celebrate New Years with our friends from Kaunas. We are so lucky someone invited us to celebrate, since I really hate being all sad and alone during New years Eve. 

Also we have a bunch of snow here in Lithuania. Also it's very very cold, especially for me, the person who hates cold... 

Tattooing

Today I tattooed for 5 straight hours. I know it's better to tattoo only for 4 or less hours, because the person can get fever and so on, but we had to finish it today, since he is going abroad and that was tough. Now my hand is idle or at least very tired and quite painful at a times.

Our Christmas via Instagram

It was really amazing meeting up with people and giving them presents. I thought that I bought a lot of them, however, I even got more, as always. I've got a juicer, of which I am very happy and a water boiler. And a bracelet above, from my love, it's vintage - I love it. Aldo, a sweater, a scarf and a more of cool stuff.
I also stuffed my belly too.
I hope you had a nice Christmas too <3

I must...

I cannot get my head around this idea, why everything rushes so fast around Christmas? I haven't got a minute to relax and enjoy the Christmas joy. Yesterday, for an instance, I tattooed, then we headed to the mall to finish buying all those damn presents and then we went home after a nice and delicious spaghetti with wine I had to study for today's exam. Now I suppose to be studying too, but I want to make a little break from all that crap and I may have a headache coming over.
I just don't get why all the education systems want you to be unhappy and tired, when Christmas or New years come... Also, I still have a bunch of clients waiting "outside the door". And I am feeling pretty sad that I am such a bad business woman. I cannot get more of free time to tattoo them all...

I realized I am gonna be fat during this time of the year. Until my boyfriend got back it was so easy to not eat a lot, but now it's just so bad. We ate pizza for two times since he got back, our meals grew a little bit bigger and our moms feed us a lot too, when we visit them. But I must say, I am gonna stop eating so much after the New Years. I promised to myself....

Since I am really bad at studying, I was watching some of the videos on youtube. And I found one amazing man and his inspiring channel. He travels around the world, has so many dreams and is so fun and inspiring. If you are bored of all these vlogs with make-up tutorials and tags, you should definitely check him :)

Purchases and Gifts

This weekend was rather crowded with tones of people, work and tattoos.
My whole family came and plus my cousin. We celebrated my sister's Birthday and our new car, which was awesome :) I am so very happy we finally bought one. It feels so cozy and so comfortable not using buses that much anymore. Today we traveled back to Klaipeda from our home town by car and it felt so amazing. It is a wolkswagen. I like them, and our is black, I love this color so much. And it has a light inside, which I like too. so, enough about the car....
So, my sister is 26 years old. I celebrated her birthday for two times this week, and after the first one did not feel so good.
You guys, I have so much to tell you. So many things are happening in my life now. I am so very busy with the tattoos, my exams and my family and friends, that I don't have much time to write about it. However, I am not feeling too happy about anything recently. I am just thinking about tattoos mostly and that I want to evolve. This weekend I did my very first portrait and with just a few lines, it didn't turn to be bad at all, but I could not capture it and also it was very very red, so no pics. Also, hopping to get my new shader soon, because it is already made.

I also bought a wallet I wanted. I figured I shouldn't be always saving, I also saw that there were only few wallets left.

Got this piercing from my cousin as a Christmas gift

And our new family member :) isn't she pretty? We figured it's a girl :) 

A lot to tell

I totally forgot to write in here. I was absolutely overwhelmed with job. My exam session almost start. therefore we have this whole week full of presentations and every day I have to do them and then go to the university and show them, which sucks. And I have this huge wave of tattoos. I don't know where these people came from. I still cannot do more than one tattoo a day, since I have lectures to attend, therefore I have this huge line of people forming ahead. But I am hopping I will have a little break after new years, since we will have a new currency in our country and people will not want to spend that much on tattoos :)
Last night, when I got home from University, we decided to go with our feet few kilos to eat the most delicious sandwiches in Klaipeda. We really like them and the weather was really nice. We are still waiting for our car to arrive from Germany, because my boyfriend already bought one. I'll show it to you when it will get here in Lithuania.

And my boyfriend got me this perfume. I know I said I wanted Opium perfume, however, when we got to the shop, I realized I did not like it at all. And I settled to a better choice. Indeed I was looking for this perfume for a while now, I remember smelling it all over the Italy.... mmmm

Random and quick

So, my boyfriend is back. That was an interesting meeting. 3 months is a lot of time not seeing a person you love. He changed a little bit and lost some weight, I hate when it happens. But it's ok, because not too much.
That is why I was silent for a couple of days. I have so much work to be done, not only the bunch of tattoos, but so many university asignments. I hate doing latter. haha

This drawing is very bad quality one. It is also not very finished. But oh well.

Hand tattoo for my friend

We basically have done something quite interesting last night with my friend. So she comes at me and we kind of decided before to decorate her body with a new tattoo. Originally she wanted few roses on her shoulders and back. It was a quite visible area, but I was alright with this. And then we realize I do not have the colors here, I loeft some of them in my hometown and she wants them to be with light colors. haha. So she decides to go with a hand skeleton tattoo :D I was so shocked and I could not say yes or no. I did not tell her what to do and she assumed I'll tattoo her. Then she decides to have it done (I was quite scared that she will regret this tmorrow, but she didn't) and we did a hand tattoo for her. She said it was painful. But the place is quite easy to get to, which I liked.
But seariously, what is wrong with people recently? They want tattoos in visible places and I am not sure if I am ready yet. Or maybe am I after yesterday? :D

It was already quite swallen at the time we took this pic, so you can't see the real beauty of this tattoo.

Boohoo

Hi, pumpkins.
My week started quite strangely, therefore I have been a little bit sad today. We initially planned that my love is coming this Friday and that was a deal. I've been dreaming about free Saturday together, I even took some time off. But apparently he might be in Lithuania maybe only on Saturday night, because he wants to drive a car to where we live from Germany. Which was very sad. I know you could say that it's only a one day matter, but it did matter to me personally.
However, I am planning on meeting my peeps this week. I already visited my older sister, we had so much fun last night, trying on wedding dress and shit :D Then tomorrow I am meeting my two other friends, also maybe a tattoo and then on Thursday I'll visit my cousin who moved into our city, which is awesome.
And of course I have a bunch of stuff for the university and tattoo related things :)
Hope you enjoy the advent and have less job than I do...

Dry

Do you know that feeling, when you wake up in a morning and there is no hot water? But now imagine the situation, where you wake up and there is no water at all :D a little bit more complicated, isn't it? Yes, you guessed right, that was my morning. That was rather creepy. I wouldn't mind if there wasn't electricity, but water, dude, really?
On the other note - I am always a little bit nervious about tattoos. before anyone comes, I always think if I am gonna do well and stuff. But it is getting lesser, thanks God. Today seemed to me like a simple day too, I wasn't at all nervious actually, which was cool. And there comes a girl. I have already made a stencil according to her desires. And she wants this tattoo on a very special and very difficult place, next to her ear and almost on her cheeck. My hands started shaking and I was quite nervious. But it turned out well. At least as she wanted it to be, like me too :)

And I also found this old picture of me (mostly of my hair). From time to time I wish to change my hair color, but then I realize again and again, that this color suits me the best.

Weekend

This weekend we spent quite nicely. My cousin came and my sisters too, including me to my home town and we spent an amazing Saturday there decorating our Christmas tree, drinking wine and eating cheese plus pizza. However I think I am getting allergic to wine (?). I know!!! This seems impossible, but unfortunatelly it might be.

I did only few tattoos though this weekend, but hopefully I'll get some done tomorrow :)

X-mas Wish-list

I have some photos to share, but instead I am gonna just share (like every year on my blog) a Christmas wishlist. I will repeat myself, as every single year I do, that I never almost get anything from my wishlist, maybe I don't know how to ask, but... again, I'll buy some of these thing smyself I guess. So, lets start:

First of all, the best gift this year is gonna be, when my boyfriend will get back from Denmark. I am so looking forward to this.
But, talking about material things. Last time I went shopping (and I bought some gifts already), I stumbled across a new shop, where all the original perfume are. I could not get out of there, but something just stopped me for a longer time. It was Opium perfume. I adore opium, I've been looking for this scent like for ages, I always use only opium incense. I thought though that the perfume is a little bit too maleish, but overall I liked it, instead of the price. It's all my rent and unfortunatelly I cannot afford it at the moment. So I am asking for santa this year to do me a favor. haha

The other thing, which I kind of need, is a new wallet. I know, I bought one only a year ago, but I hate it already and it seems childish to me. Now I want to go back to basic black and I found one suitable in reserved. Unfortunatelly I could not find a one on the internet search, so I just took what looked most similar to the one I liked:

And one more thing what I want more than anything else on this short wishlist is a bengal kitten. I am so in love with them. I am so so so very sad that I refused to buy the one I fell in love over the internet. Now I check them regulary and sometimes I could not go to sleep and think of this cat :(

I know it's not a good time for me to own a cat, but I so want one. I have also already spent the money I got for this cat on a new tattoo machine ugh... It feels like it will take me ages  to get one :(

Always sleepy

Wow, it's been quite a long time since I wrote here. But there is not good explenation for this, I wasn't that busy, like I am during summer or any time in the year. but I was too tired, sometimes even too tired to wake up. This darkness just creeps me out. How can one live in such a cold and dark period?
I always thought about a TV show just for artists. And finally I found one. There are even few episods on youtube if you like. It is called "Work of art. The next great artist".

Autumnal sadness

Hey, what is up, you guys? I am so hopping that you don't feel as bad as people in my country at the moment. It is the darkest time in the year and we are all very unhappy and sad. One girl from my university got killed and everyone is in a huge shock. Everyone in my town is talking about this and being very sad about this, so am I. I kind of knew this girl, not too much though. She studied in a same faculty as I do at the moment, and that was very shocking, plus a person, who killed her was from my hometown. This kind of sucks, especially that this could've happen to anyone around me. But enough talking about bad stuff, even though, there is a lot of it at this time of the year.
Today me and my older sister went out for some coffee. That was cool, because most of the time we hang out in her place. I got some really delicious caramel latte, that was very cozy. Then we ended up in her place again.
Not much to tell in my life right now. I am not doing anything fancy. I only decorated my place today with some of the Christmas decorations, because I needed some joy in my life. And also it has been snowing today, but it is still too wet to stay long enough on the ground.

Master and Margarita

Recently I had a pleasure to read a book "Master and Margarita". I know, some of you have read it before, but not me unfortunatelly. I liked it from the first sentence. I could not get enough of it, until my mental state broke down a little bit and then I had to leave those few unread pages. But I am hoping to finish it this weekend. The author of this book is Russian, therefoe a whole style is my taste. I liked the realism mixed with magic, only Russians can do that trick. The plot is about a devil, who is just conveying what people have inside indeed. He is doing tricks and he is sneeky. You would never catch him. And the whole artistic socieity in Mosccow is somehow one way or another touched by this devil, who pretends to be a foreigner. He is not even pretending that much, when I thin about it. He is revealing his personallity and purposes, but people just think it's a joke. So they are all getting lost and stuff. The other half of the book tells us about Christ's crucifiction, which was quite a contrast and I liked it. Even though, I am not a Christian, I still liked this part of the book too. But, of course, there is a part about a Master and his amazing woman Margarita, who kind of gets her lover Master back with Devil's help. But this devil is so real that he is not even devilish.
Overall, I liked this book a lot, it is one of the best bookes I have ever read. And, of course, I watched a movie. But it was in Russian language with no subtitles. But the amazing thing is that the movie was made by a book and people who created a movie did not change a single thing! That is why I could understand everything :)

 I like the drawings of this book and all the theme. You will totally get them if you read this book already.

L.A. without a map

I was busy trying to catch up with undone things, like tattoo sketches and my homework today, despite of attending my lectures, of course. That is why I was watching movies most of the time, while I was drawing for an instance.
And you may know me if you are reading this blog from time to time, that I like movies with that vintage and bohemian touch. That is why one of my fav movies are like "Betty Blue", "Silence becomes you", "White Oleander", "the dreamers" and so on. That was also a reason why I did watch a movie "L.A. without a map". I liked the trailer and the idea of a Scotchman coming to LA after a girl, he falls in love with. Also, there is Julie Delpy, Johny Depp and plus few very good actors starring. However I got a little bit disappointed with it. If you don't like unexpected cuts, or illogical ones, this movie is not for you. Acting was not my style and it didn't make sense quite a bit. I wouldn't say that I hated it, but it wasn't a gem too.

I am guessing (I haven't read about this movie), that it is a low budget one indie movie. Tell me if someone of you watched it and maybe liked it, or not so much...

I am so lazy

My mom wasn't feeling too well this weekend again, so I spent most of the time pampering her. I must say, I should get shit done, but I don't know how anymore. I would love somone to help me and kick me in the ars. For an instance, I have plenty of homework, however, I am thinking that I'll get it done (if it is even happening) at the end of time. Ugh. I wish I could force myself to do things I need to be done. But oh well.
I did only one tattoo this weekend, which sucked. However, I am a lazy ass at the end of autumn, so I didn't care that much.

Darkness

There is a lot of darkness in my life now. And there is dark outside for reals too. I constantly want to sleep, I can imagine you feeling the same and I am sorry for you, like I am sorry for me too. I wish I was in a sunny place and wearing bathing suit, or at least clothes I bought today. I bought two Italian style black dresses, but I won't show you them, because cellphone pictures will never show their real beauty. My all time dream outfits always are black or red Italian style dresses.  They are not totally totally Italian, they do not have those small sleeves, but they are sure very close to being it. Also, I just call them that myself, don't actually know if this thing really exists.

And I bought this baby. At first I was hesistant. I thought that it might look tacky and I wasn't sure about it's material, however I still bought it and it is maybe one of the best purchases this month. I could wear it with something underneath it, I like that it's long and also you can have nothing underneath it if it suits you, because it still looks alright. I have this idea that I am matching it to my high wasted black pants with a zipper in a back and with my zanotti shoes with golden eagles.

Ltaely I feel super super lonely. The two past months so many people were around me to keep my company, and now none. Even when I got to my hometown for a weekend (there is always someone at home), everybody was gone even the dog and they haven't come back home yet. wow... I am so alone in this dark world haha.

Also I have been painting a little bit from my loneliness and the lack of real job...
