Ink Me Baby.....

Yes, it is official...........I have been branded for life. Today after working 9 1/2 hours at my 2nd job (the job that I took in order to have more money to spend on my music) , I met up with Fingaz, Talal, and Gutta. WE went to the tattoo parlor and I told em "Ink me baby!!!" LOL
I already have three tattoos, that I acquired over 6 years (from the time I was 16-21); and would you believe that I ended up getting three in this one night/session.

I got:

(1) ShellBe (written in a pretty script-ish cursive) on my right outside wrist



(2) RAW (written in the same pretty script-ish cursive) on my left outside wrist


(3) 360 (in this old english-ish type font, just like Fingaz.......the inside is a faded color-in)on my left inside wrist


Can I just say that they look soooooooooooo slick. LOL! For the record I think "ShellBe RAW"looks very pretty and feminine.........yet serious! The "360" looks sooooooooooo hard, Fingaz said he's even thinking about fading his "360"to look like mine. Talal, Gutta, and Rell got some big shoes to fill, cuz I set the bar kinda high with mine. I think Talal will be next, and I know he'll come up with something creative, but I think we're all sticking to the same font!

But seriously this is a big deal. There is no turning back, I feel like no matter what I have to always be doing something for ShellBe RAW, and always representing her. Then, no matter what 360 is my family. I don't care how many times we fuss, fight, bullshit, argue.......we are always there for one another. I don't care what happens in the future......360 will always be a huge part of me, and my career..........cuz if they piss me off, I'll just be like GAME (a disgruntled employee, for about 4 albums!!!!) No sah, them my niggaz for life!

When I was being tattooed today, I felt that much more connected, and serious about my music career. I felt like damn, I am really making the decision to BRAND myself, literally. I really AM: ShellBe RAW. Maybe I'm over-thinking this, but this seems sooooooooo huge to me! Unlike most artists, I didn't wait for others to validate my gangsta as far as my music, and me just being ShellBe RAW. I don't need to wait until I'm signed to really be all about ShellBe RAW. I am her NOW, and I got the tat's to prove it!!

Keep doing your thing Sis. I see you! This Blogger was a good idea, cuz a year from now, people will be able to trace back your journey and wonder how you made it happen. You know us over at Darkroom are behind you all the way Sis. I will be checking this every week because watching a cocoon turn into a butterfly is a beautiful thing. I wish you nothing but success ShellBe RAW. Keep putting pressure on these bastards. One
