About

Hi and thanks for visiting It’s a Thing. I thought you’d never find me.

Mike here, Tattoo Artist for 40 plus years now, sounds like a long time when you say it out loud.
I’ve definitely had some adventures in create not only art and product, but my own path in this life.

Like most of us, I grew up poor and was conditioned to stand in line and accept what I was told and take what I was given.

I couldn’t do that, no more than I can sit back and hope for the best.

I don’t believe in fairy tales, I believe in effort no matter how slow my progress is.

Being the old geezer that I am, I’ve obviously seen a lot of things change and stay kinda the same at the same time.

Because I’ve been my own boss and a business person, and seen what value for my hrs earned dollar spent needs to look like.
I got on board with Shopify, to create a new way to do my own thing again.

They have the tools in place to create an environment conducive for creating success financially.

That’s in no way some kinda promise, or guarantee that anyone will make it, but it is possible. If you’re willing and have the drive to put in the work!

Nothing in this life is a free ride, and in business there are no easy buttons.

If you’re like me and want to do your own thing, and not someone else’s, look into it. The business life is not for everyone and it is real work.

What one person can do, another can do!

Being an entrepreneur is real work, and it takes a seriously dedicated person as does any business.
Real success in a startup business is never instant, but it can be worth every ounce of effort exerted.

Thanks for reading and check my blog as I try to help with some useful information.

Thanks mike
