  1. 0:00People say my biggest contribution to
  2. 0:01the tattoo world is these machines I
  3. 0:03invented. But what this what I would
  4. 0:06like my biggest contribution to be to
  5. 0:08the tattoo industry would be to get
  6. 0:10people to understand the blessings and
  7. 0:12curse aspect energetically of tattoos.
  8. 0:15Yeah, because tattooing is a ritual.
  9. 0:17Anytime there's blood spilled, we know
  10. 0:19this.
  11. 0:20It's a ritual. Anytime there's a ritual,
  12. 0:22it's a sacred space. Anytime there's a
  13. 0:24sacred space, that means it's really
  14. 0:26serious. That means the intention is
  15. 0:27going to be there, whether they know it
  16. 0:29or not, right?
  17. 0:31Look up.
  18. 0:33Breathe in.
  19. 0:40Say I feel safe and protected in my
  20. 0:41body.
  21. 0:42I feel safe and protected in my body.
  22. 0:48Thank you, Mother.
  23. 0:49Thank you, Mother.
  24. 0:50For all that you brought me.
  25. 0:51For all that you brought me.
  26. 0:53I'm detaching from you now.
  27. 0:56Detaching from you now.
  28. 0:58So that I can be a part of what why I
  29. 1:00came here.
  30. 1:01So that I could be a part of why I came
  31. 1:02here.
  32. 1:14It's going to burn a little bit. Give me
  33. 1:16some weight.
  34. 1:21Breathe.
  35. 1:25This is what we're doing is we're
  36. 1:26removing
  37. 1:30like the blockages that the tattoo goes
  38. 1:32in
  39. 1:33and creates blockages in the tissue.
  40. 1:36So as we
  41. 1:38basically move the tissue again, it will
  42. 1:41adapt. So
  43. 1:43there's nothing that we can that we've
  44. 1:44done to our bodies that's that's
  45. 1:46permanent.
  46. 1:49It's all right there.
  47. 1:52Breathe.
  48. 1:56What does that feel like?
  49. 1:58It's like some relief.
  50. 1:59Relief?
  51. 2:00like a like a heaviness leaving.
  52. 2:03Yeah. So, the tattoos bind like you said
  53. 2:06it binds you into the emotion.
  54. 2:08What restricts your body
  55. 2:11but as we open it up the body will
  56. 2:13process it. So, minerals
  57. 2:16um facial maneuvers or movements
  58. 2:19um breath eventually will take it all
  59. 2:21away.
  60. 2:23So, when I tattoo people it's like the
  61. 2:25healing aspect is different than if I'm
  62. 2:27just tattooing like uh
  63. 2:29your favorite team, right? There's junk
  64. 2:30food tattoos, right? And then there's
  65. 2:33organic grass-fed tattoos.
  66. 2:35about it. I want something. I'm called
  67. 2:37to do it.
  68. 2:38I'm not interested in the junk food
  69. 2:39tattoos. I've done it for many years and
  70. 2:41and it's interesting. I don't know why
  71. 2:42but I've always felt
  72. 2:44not that it was wrong but it just wasn't
  73. 2:46fulfilling. So, as I started tattooing I
  74. 2:48I I noticed I would always gravitate
  75. 2:51to certain tattoos. There's stories and
  76. 2:54then my dad would tell you that like he
  77. 2:57met a kid at the gym and this kid's
  78. 2:58like, "Oh, you're Franco's dad. Oh my
  79. 3:00god, I love your son. Like when I was a
  80. 3:03young kid I came to him and I wanted
  81. 3:04demons all over my body.
  82. 3:06And your son told me no. He's not going
  83. 3:09to do that on you. He's like, "Instead,
  84. 3:10let's do angels." So, I convinced this
  85. 3:12guy to get angels.
  86. 3:13Oh god, that's awesome.
  87. 3:15this spiritual guy later on. He goes,
  88. 3:17"I'm so thankful that he did that cuz I
  89. 3:19would have regretted that.
  90. 3:21And I just love these angels he's done
  91. 3:22on me and
  92. 3:23I was like, "Hey, good for you, man."
  93. 3:25Cuz my dad was never for my tattoo
  94. 3:26career. He was old school Italian guy.
  95. 3:28He was like, "What the fuck are you
  96. 3:29doing, man? Don't be a starving artist."
  97. 3:32But even early on I was always mindful
  98. 3:35of the tattoos. I never did swastikas. I
  99. 3:37never did the 666s.
  100. 3:39And the reason why is I always knew that
  101. 3:41it was a blessing or a curse when you're
  102. 3:43tattooing somebody. Yeah. You're either
  103. 3:44going to bless them or curse them. And
  104. 3:45and and and we know that people bless
  105. 3:47and curse themselves every day on
  106. 3:48accident without knowing it. But the
  107. 3:50spirit world doesn't care. It operates
  108. 3:52by certain rules, right? We give rights
  109. 3:54to spirits. We give rights to to good
  110. 3:56and bad without knowing, which is why
  111. 3:58they hijacked our our English
  112. 4:00vocabulary.
  113. 4:03I'm opening up my desires.
  114. 4:06I'm opening up my desires on on my
  115. 4:09feminine side.
  116. 4:10On my feminine side.
  117. 4:16Yeah.
  118. 4:25So, what the tattoo does mechanically is
  119. 4:28it
  120. 4:30blocks the flow of subcutaneous
  121. 4:32tissue or fascial tissue.
  122. 4:35When we
  123. 4:36do this, what we're going to do is
  124. 4:39reestablish the flow.
  125. 4:43Cuz it's like a cut. When the body has a
  126. 4:45ready input, it'll
  127. 4:47heal itself.
  128. 4:53I had a bonus.
  129. 4:58This tattoo is a phoenix. Do you Do you
  130. 5:00Do you feel any re-
  131. 5:03It's a phoenix.
  132. 5:03Yeah, it's a phoenix rising. So, the
  133. 5:05phoenix rises and it's on
  134. 5:09your left side, it's your heart.
  135. 5:11Okay, it's interesting you say that. So,
  136. 5:15the story of it, you see how it's He's
  137. 5:16blind?
  138. 5:17Yeah.
  139. 5:18But he What's He's holding a heart.
  140. 5:20Yeah.
  141. 5:20heart sees.
  142. 5:22So,
  143. 5:22So, basically the phoenix is rising so
  144. 5:25that you can see with your heart, not
  145. 5:27your eyes.
  146. 5:27Exactly. That That was my intention.
  147. 5:29Yeah, that's exactly what it was.
  148. 5:31So, that's what your body would say.
  149. 5:34Oh.
  150. 5:37Ooh.
  151. 5:39I was going to say I don't care about
  152. 5:40pain. I have tattoos, but that was
  153. 5:42painful.
  154. 5:43Ooh.
  155. 5:46Oh, wow.
  156. 5:49This is more stagnant and this is more
  157. 5:51open.
  158. 5:51Flowing, yeah.
  159. 5:52Yeah, so we're opening up the flow.
  160. 5:56Give me a little bit of
  161. 5:57Hold it Let me turn this way. Okay.
  162. 6:02Breathe.
  163. 6:06You got it. You're safe.
  164. 6:08Breathe.
  165. 6:10That might have been the most painful
  166. 6:12thing I've ever experienced in my life.
  167. 6:16It's like a nerve or something.
  168. 6:18How's it feeling now?
  169. 6:21Open.
  170. 6:22Really good that I'm not doing it.
  171. 6:24Yeah, that too. There's a sense of
  172. 6:26responsibility attached to our shit
  173. 6:27have.
  174. 6:28And early on I felt that, but as I've
  175. 6:30gravitated to 20 years in the business
  176. 6:33and 30 years in the business, where I'm
  177. 6:34at now, it's like I don't tattoo for
  178. 6:36money anymore.
  179. 6:37It's more like I'll give you an example.
  180. 6:40Some priests sought me out. He's just
  181. 6:42like, "You need to be the one that
  182. 6:44tattoos me. And I'm at this abbey over
  183. 6:46here and I can't believe I talked to the
  184. 6:48the main abbey. He's going to let me get
  185. 6:50the St. Michael tattoo.
  186. 6:52And I've researched everybody and you're
  187. 6:54the one. It has to be you."
  188. 6:56And turns out this guy's like this
  189. 6:58miracle worker. Every time he would come
  190. 6:59to the shop, he would perform some kind
  191. 7:01of miracle. It's so crazy. It was like
  192. 7:03the wildest thing. I won't get into the
  193. 7:05stories. Maybe we'll talk about it later
  194. 7:06cuz it's fascinating, but
  195. 7:08Father Vianney is his name.
  196. 7:10So, he writes me this long poetic email.
  197. 7:12It was It was so brilliant this email.
  198. 7:14It was so touching. And I showed it to
  199. 7:15like some of my co-workers and they were
  200. 7:17like, "You got to meet this guy."
  201. 7:19So, I meet him.
  202. 7:21I'm like, "I'm not going to charge you.
  203. 7:23Like this is just a gift from from you
  204. 7:25serving God and mankind."
  205. 7:27But these are the tattoos that So, I did
  206. 7:29the St. Michael tattoo on him.
  207. 7:31Then he brings me
  208. 7:33this St. Michael or he brings me this
  209. 7:35Pope Leo the 13th card. It's a St.
  210. 7:38Michael prayer. He's telling me all
  211. 7:40about this the saint St.
  212. 7:42not a saint but this Pope Pope Leo the
  213. 7:4413th, Papa Pecci.
  214. 7:46He said this one was this is a good Pope
  215. 7:48this Pope right here. He was around with
  216. 7:50the Black Plague and Saint Michael
  217. 7:51visited him.
  218. 7:53He wrote this prayer and I just I just
  219. 7:55felt called to give it to you and I'm
  220. 7:56kind of getting the chills cuz I'm like
  221. 7:58I got it right now. I'm like what what
  222. 8:00why'd you give that to me? I was just
  223. 8:01called to give this to you. I still have
  224. 8:02it it's a postcard.
  225. 8:04I'm like well I'm his sixth cousin. I'm
  226. 8:07Papa Pecci's sixth cousin. My grandma
  227. 8:09used to always
  228. 8:10I'm not Catholic but
  229. 8:11my grandma used to brag about I'm fourth
  230. 8:13cousin with Papa it was a family thing.
  231. 8:15I'm fourth cousin with Papa Pecci and my
  232. 8:17dad was sixth and five and I'm sixth.
  233. 8:19We're sixth. And so that's why we
  234. 8:22named our studio the Vatican and my
  235. 8:24other brand Bishop and my last name
  236. 8:27Biscovi means Bishop when you translate
  237. 8:30it to English.
  238. 8:31And then I I'm I always find Saint
  239. 8:33Michael things it's like oh my god
  240. 8:35what's Yeah everywhere I go there's this
  241. 8:37theme. I had some energy work come to my
  242. 8:39studio one day and he's like I feel
  243. 8:41Saint Michael vibes on me. I'm like it's
  244. 8:44interesting you say that. I have a
  245. 8:45tattoo right here of him.
  246. 8:48Now what you do is breathe and as
  247. 8:51Yeah right there.
  248. 8:53Imagine that there's yellow. Breathe in.
  249. 9:00It's going from the front to the back.
  250. 9:03Breathe in yellow.
  251. 9:05There it is.
  252. 9:08Say I accept my feelings and emotions.
  253. 9:10I accept my feelings and emotions.
  254. 9:12As a part of me.
  255. 9:14As a part of me.
  256. 9:17And I'm observing them.
  257. 9:19I'm observing them.
  258. 9:20Yeah.
  259. 9:20Now.
  260. 9:39Feels like it's moving.
  261. 9:41It's like
  262. 9:43It was a good one.

  266. 9:47YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
  267. 9:47YEAH. YEAH.
  268. 9:49Like my like one of my energy is
  269. 9:51It's like breaking out of your body. So,
  270. 9:53the tattoos cause a constriction in the
  271. 9:55body.
  272. 9:57And then as we move the body through
  273. 9:59fascial maneuvers, which we're just
  274. 10:00advancing for you, but you can do this
  275. 10:02all yourself.
  276. 10:04You start to open up these layers.
  277. 10:07And then you start to feel the flow of
  278. 10:09energy again cuz what they're doing is
  279. 10:11they're blocking a flow in the fascia.
  280. 10:13Okay.
  281. 10:16And breathe.
  282. 10:22Breathe.
  283. 10:27Breathe.

  302. 11:09connection and flow of life.
  303. 11:11So, as I feel the flow of life, it just
  304. 11:14charges me. Like we go to events and

  361. 12:53This is the blockage point that we were
  362. 12:55talking about. Breathe.
  363. 13:02Head trauma in the forehead, you know?
  364. 13:12Okay.
  365. 13:17So, when you're young, you got hit in
  366. 13:18the back of the head.
  367. 13:20Mhm.
  368. 13:23Okay.
  369. 13:28Do you feel like a
  370. 13:29Mhm. Yeah.
  371. 13:31Purple is reconnecting of your pineal
  372. 13:33gland.
  373. 13:35Your sense.
  374. 13:37Okay. You can walk when you're ready.
  375. 13:49We're reconnecting
  376. 13:51all of that flow.
  377. 13:53Here are the tattoos.
  378. 14:00Oh, there it goes.
  379. 14:08How does it feel to you when it when you
  380. 14:09feel the release of it just like that?
  381. 14:11It's a flow of energy.
  382. 14:13Feels like fluid moving, a flow of
  383. 14:15energy.
  384. 14:17How's it feel to you?
  385. 14:19Like a release of energy.
  386. 14:20Yeah.
  387. 14:22A release of stuck energy.
  388. 14:25Okay, walk and see how that feels.
  389. 14:27Yeah. It's almost like a little like
  390. 14:30like a micro dose.
  391. 14:31Yeah, it it it well, technically it is
  392. 14:33psychedelic.
  393. 14:34I see that now.
  394. 14:35Yeah, so basically drugs don't make us
  395. 14:38high, drugs stimulate a series of
  396. 14:39hormones and flow in the body through
  397. 14:42which we experience the psychedelic.
  398. 14:44Drugs are just stimulating our body to
  399. 14:46do it. They don't make us do it.
  400. 14:48There's other ways to
  401. 14:49Our body does it, yeah.
  402. 14:51Yeah.
  403. 14:51Whenever I sensed somebody didn't know
  404. 14:53what they wanted, I wouldn't do it.
  405. 14:55And that's really what it was.
  406. 14:56Fair enough.
  407. 14:57So when someone said, "I want my
  408. 14:58neighborhood on my stomach." And I say,
  409. 15:00you know, he really wants that, he's not
  410. 15:02going anywhere. This guy is sold to
  411. 15:04this, right? But yeah, anytime I would
  412. 15:06sense like my my friend Nick, they
  413. 15:08wanted all these demons on him. He
  414. 15:10didn't even know what he was asking for.
  415. 15:11He didn't understand the energetic
  416. 15:13imprint that would have been uh
  417. 15:15detrimental to his health and spiritual
  418. 15:17health and life force if I did that.
  419. 15:20So you understand selling?
  420. 15:21Yeah.
  421. 15:22Yeah, so like yeah,
  422. 15:23the content is if I if all my thoughts
  423. 15:27were tattooed on my body, yeah, you what
  424. 15:30would they be?
  425. 15:31So what happens in the human body? Okay,
  426. 15:33first of all, if I'm going to do
  427. 15:35something to the body,
  428. 15:37there's an intent behind it, whether I
  429. 15:39know it or not. That's what we talked
  430. 15:41about before.
  431. 15:42People
  432. 15:43will I I'm going to look at them I go
  433. 15:46um I look at their tattoos and I'm like,
  434. 15:48oh, so what happened to my life? I don't
  435. 15:51even have to think in your heart or your
  436. 15:53cuz I know where they placed it.
  437. 15:55Left side feminine, right side
  438. 15:57masculine. On the meridians tells you
  439. 16:00the organ that they're tattooing on.
  440. 16:03Mm. Okay. And that corresponding
  441. 16:06emotion.
  442. 16:06The emotions. That's like resentment,
  443. 16:09grief, like you you felt those.
  444. 16:11Yeah. And and and I believe there's a
  445. 16:13frequency for each of those emotions.
  446. 16:16And and and it's down to the decimal
  447. 16:17point, right? And so
  448. 16:20at when when somebody asks for a certain
  449. 16:22tattoo, let's go back to this negative
  450. 16:24idea. Someone says I want this these
  451. 16:26demons on me.
  452. 16:28I say
  453. 16:29God's given me a a level of
  454. 16:31understanding that that you that I see
  455. 16:33you don't have. And because I have that
  456. 16:35level of understanding, I I owe it to my
  457. 16:36creator
  458. 16:38to not do that for you.
  459. 16:40I there's a sense of responsibility
  460. 16:42every tattoo artist should have. But the
  461. 16:44more they know, the more responsibility.
  462. 16:46So that's why I've always said no
  463. 16:47because here's how I look at it.
  464. 16:49If I put that in in your body,
  465. 16:52you feel a certain way,
  466. 16:54so and so. And because of that feeling,
  467. 16:57you want me to you want to identify that
  468. 16:59feeling with pictures. And so you search
  469. 17:02for pictures that identify that and it's
  470. 17:04demons that are going
  471. 17:05cuz that's how you feel. These are
  472. 17:07things that are like I'm understanding
  473. 17:09right away.
  474. 17:10And I'm thinking like if I do that on
  475. 17:12you,
  476. 17:13I'm locking you in. This is where it
  477. 17:15gets interesting. I'm locking you into
  478. 17:17that frequency that God doesn't want you
  479. 17:20to stay on. We're here to elevate the
  480. 17:21frequency. So if I lock you into that
  481. 17:23frequency, here's where it gets crazy.
  482. 17:27Oh, it's just a tattoo. He can move on
  483. 17:29in life and and and become a higher
  484. 17:31state.
  485. 17:32No. Yes and no. Here's what happens and
  486. 17:34I need you to understand this or I have
  487. 17:35to break this down for me. Now I
  488. 17:37understand. I need you to break down
  489. 17:39this thing I'm about to say.
  490. 17:40Yeah, I'm
  491. 17:41They get a tattoo.
  492. 17:43They lock that frequency in.
  493. 17:45You ever smelled a perfume that takes
  494. 17:47you back to your grandmother 20, 30
  495. 17:49years ago?
  496. 17:50Yeah.
  497. 17:51We know why, right? Because it's locked
  498. 17:53into the subconscious mind. Certain
  499. 17:54things lock into the subconscious mind.
  500. 17:56Art, colors, scent, pain.
  501. 17:59So I'm going to tell you why all that
  502. 18:00happened in a second.
  503. 18:01Pain. Okay. So this is and and I want to
  504. 18:03talk about the correlation between pain
  505. 18:05and blood and why I think that
  506. 18:07locks it in, but
  507. 18:08to finish that part is
  508. 18:10if they get that tattoo, what I've done
  509. 18:12for them is
  510. 18:14every time they look at that demon,
  511. 18:15they're going to
  512. 18:16It doesn't matter if they're now in
  513. 18:17church and they're just, you know,
  514. 18:18family men. It's going to continue to
  515. 18:20just take them to that feeling of anger,
  516. 18:22pain, and frustration. And it's a curse
  517. 18:24if you really think about it.
  518. 18:25Sure does.
  519. 18:26So that's why I've always said, "No, I
  520. 18:27don't want to curse their body with a
  521. 18:29tat."
  522. 18:31Breathe.
  523. 18:34Keep pulling away. I got all of it.
  524. 18:37Pull away from me like your life depends
  525. 18:40on it.
  526. 18:41There you go.
  527. 18:45There it goes.
  528. 18:56All right.
  529. 18:59Okay.
  530. 18:59Okay, this is therapeutic.
  531. 19:01She's funny.
  532. 19:03She's funny, yeah.
  533. 19:05Yeah.
  534. 19:05So I don't ever take a break from
  535. 19:08doing this. This is how we when we go to
  536. 19:10the kitchen and I got a fork and might
  537. 19:12eat spaghetti noodles out of the thing.
  538. 19:15And then it was like something like you
  539. 19:16would pasta and the spaghetti from your
  540. 19:18mom, and it's making me laugh, and she's
  541. 19:20funny.
  542. 19:20So like I said we were poor growing up,
  543. 19:22so my mother would make spaghetti like
  544. 19:24three nights a week.
  545. 19:25Yeah.
  546. 19:25And then we'd have it for leftovers.
  547. 19:27Like we would make spaghetti tacos,
  548. 19:29burritos,
  549. 19:31Cuz it was just a cheap thing to make.
  550. 19:32Yeah, it's easy, yeah.
  551. 19:34So it's definitely spaghetti
  552. 19:35Spaghetti. I like spaghetti on
  553. 19:37sandwiches with cheese.
  554. 19:38I still like it.
  555. 19:39Yeah.
  556. 19:41when it is spaghetti.
  557. 19:42I know I'm sneaking out and like
  558. 19:43No, come on, baby. Do like everything
  559. 19:45else.
  560. 19:46No, you That's That's That's
  561. 19:47She grew up poor for a while.
  562. 19:49That's a big story in our family.
  563. 19:50That's spaghetti.
  564. 19:51So funny.
  565. 19:53Mom's spaghetti.
  566. 19:54There you go.
  567. 19:59That's pretty good right now, right?
  568. 20:00Yeah.
  569. 20:11Yeah, cuz there's like something going
  570. 20:12on here.
  571. 20:13Yeah.
  572. 20:14Thanks.
  573. 20:15That's cuz it's your solar plexus. It's
  574. 20:17your emotions.
  575. 20:18Yeah, I'm always touching myself there,
  576. 20:19sending myself energy there.
  577. 20:21Yeah.
  578. 20:22And then head up.
  579. 20:24And breathe.
  580. 20:27You're just naturally doing stuff, and
  581. 20:31as we unblock your crystal,
  582. 20:34open up your fascia again, you'll know
  583. 20:36you have it in your knowing of why you
  584. 20:38do everything.
  585. 20:41Definitely like a second half of
  586. 20:42feeling.
  587. 20:43It feels the same as like like half a
  588. 20:45gram.
  589. 20:46Yeah.
  590. 20:48Keep going.
  591. 20:52So I've I've always known that
  592. 20:54pain
  593. 20:56puts you in a state that we're all
  594. 20:57supposed to be in, which is the now.
  595. 20:59Yeah, cuz you can't escape pain, right?
  596. 21:01So pain keeps you in the now. You can't
  597. 21:04daydream about something like when, you
  598. 21:06know, you're in some pain, especially
  599. 21:07with a tattoo and a needle.
  600. 21:09So, I always knew there was some
  601. 21:11correlation, and I think you're helping
  602. 21:12me put it together is there's a
  603. 21:14correlation between the pain of the
  604. 21:16tattoo
  605. 21:17that's forcing them to deal with the
  606. 21:20reason why they're getting this tattoo.
  607. 21:22Correct.
  608. 21:23And so, in a way, they don't even really
  609. 21:25know
  610. 21:26that they've turned the tattoo artist
  611. 21:28into their psychologist.
  612. 21:29They have.
  613. 21:30And And so, say I'm doing a portrait of
  614. 21:32someone that lost like a son.
  615. 21:35And I'm I'm tattooing them, and they're
  616. 21:37getting really emotional.
  617. 21:39But yet, they weren't emotional the day
  618. 21:41before at the supermarket, right?
  619. 21:42Because we're going into a comparison of
  620. 21:44they're not in the now. They're
  621. 21:46oranges, bread, what do I need? They're
  622. 21:48not in the now, right? But the tattoo
  623. 21:50process is painful.
  624. 21:52Yeah.
  625. 21:52It locks them into the now. I believe
  626. 21:55like like Jose Silva talks about like
  627. 21:57the mind method where you
  628. 21:59he's teaching you how to install things
  629. 22:00into your subconscious mind, right? To
  630. 22:02operate on
  631. 22:04um
  632. 22:05When you get a tattoo,
  633. 22:07I feel the therapeutic part of it is
  634. 22:09that it's locking them into the now.
  635. 22:12They're forcing themselves to deal with
  636. 22:13the reason why they got that, and then
  637. 22:15get it That's why they get emotional.
  638. 22:17But when the tattoo process is done, I
  639. 22:19believe that the pain and the fact that
  640. 22:21they were forced to be locked into the
  641. 22:23reason why they got that tattoo is what
  642. 22:25creates the imprint in their
  643. 22:26subconscious mind.
  644. 22:27that's exactly what it is. So, the the
  645. 22:30body, the human experience is a learned
  646. 22:32experience.
  647. 22:34Because pain is actually fictitious.
  648. 22:37There's nothing that's actually
  649. 22:38technically painful because you just
  650. 22:40touched it, the pain went away.
  651. 22:42Yeah.
  652. 22:43Pain is about attention.
  653. 22:45Yeah.
  654. 22:45And the attention is all of the
  655. 22:47resources.
  656. 22:50And when you put it here, like this is
  657. 22:54this is about desire.
  658. 22:55Mhm.
  659. 22:57As an example.
  660. 22:58Mhm.
  661. 22:59And
  662. 23:00And so, it it's interesting because I've
  663. 23:02looked at pain from the perspective cuz
  664. 23:04I wasn't pain my whole life.
  665. 23:06Mhm.
  666. 23:06And all of a sudden I was out of pain.
  667. 23:07I'm like, "Wow, this is really good."
  668. 23:09And then the fear of pain
  669. 23:12was worse than the pain itself.
  670. 23:15Yeah, I I see that with tattoos. Oh,
  671. 23:16it's going to hurt. It's going to hurt.
  672. 23:18But you're still doing it.
  673. 23:19Yeah.
  674. 23:20Yeah.
  675. 23:21So
  676. 23:22So pain actually is a is a mechanism of
  677. 23:25releasing hormones in the body. We're
  678. 23:26addicted to the experience as human
  679. 23:28beings. And And even that experience is
  680. 23:31emotional.
  681. 23:33We're addicted to the emotions of being
  682. 23:35human.
  683. 23:36And remember we talked about the river?
  684. 23:39Yeah.
  685. 23:40Well,
  686. 23:41people
  687. 23:43if they're in the river, they're
  688. 23:44addicted to it. They just want to get
  689. 23:46bashed around and move and that's the
  690. 23:48emotions of life. But if I stand on the
  691. 23:50side of it and I observe it, I'm like,
  692. 23:52"Wow, that's really cool. I can even get
  693. 23:53in it for a second and get back out."
  694. 23:55Yeah.
  695. 23:56We're not supposed to be in that flow.
  696. 23:59We're supposed to observe the flow and
  697. 24:01then say, "I want to get in here or
  698. 24:02there." and get out. But what we do is
  699. 24:04we become addicted to the flow. And the
  700. 24:06reason why that happens in the human
  701. 24:08experience is because our crystal
  702. 24:10Mhm.
  703. 24:10gets blocked.
  704. 24:12And we can't get the signal from our
  705. 24:13field.
  706. 24:14Mhm.
  707. 24:15And we block the crystal by Well, first
  708. 24:18of all, by dehydration.
  709. 24:19Mhm.
  710. 24:19Everybody's dehydrated right now. The
  711. 24:21chemicals around us dehydrate us.
  712. 24:22Yeah.
  713. 24:23And then so we have the answer for that.
  714. 24:25This is how you rehydrate your body.
  715. 24:27Okay.
  716. 24:28I mean, literally the human body was If
  717. 24:31you go back 100 years ago, it was 80%
  718. 24:33water.
  719. 24:34Mhm.
  720. 24:34And then
  721. 24:3620 years ago, it was 70% water. Today,
  722. 24:39they're teaching in school it's 60%
  723. 24:41water.
  724. 24:42And is that accurate as well, too?
  725. 24:44Well, what they're doing is they're
  726. 24:46they're saying that's what it is.
  727. 24:47They're observing It's accurate to the
  728. 24:50observation. That doesn't mean it's
  729. 24:52healthy.
  730. 24:52Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
  731. 24:53Yeah, it's accurate to the observation,
  732. 24:55which is Yeah, we're the more water that
  733. 24:58we so you touched a lot of bodies,
  734. 25:00right? Okay.
  735. 25:01Yeah.
  736. 25:02Here.
  737. 25:03Touch my body.
  738. 25:05Like really go like this.
  739. 25:09Yeah.
  740. 25:10It's different, right?
  741. 25:11It's pretty pretty pretty loose.
  742. 25:12You grab it grab my ear.
  743. 25:17So you know what bodies feel like.
  744. 25:18That's interesting, yeah.
  745. 25:20It's like baby skin.
  746. 25:21Yeah, but baby skin but it also is like
  747. 25:25completely adaptable.
  748. 25:28Yeah.
  749. 25:32Yeah.
  750. 25:33My body acts like an 18-month-old baby,
  751. 25:37not like
  752. 25:39a 55-year-old man.
  753. 25:42And this is something you were able to
  754. 25:44work on, right? You weren't doing this
  755. 25:46uh 10 years
  756. 25:47no, no, this is all in the last 4 years.
  757. 25:49Okay, so this is
  758. 25:50This is a result of it and we've
  759. 25:51documented every part of the experience
  760. 25:53cuz cuz what happened is as a result I
  761. 25:55get younger, I feel better, I have more
  762. 25:57energy, I I'm able to adapt and perceive
  763. 26:01to my world differently.
  764. 26:03Mhm.
  765. 26:04Cuz I'm not in it.
  766. 26:05Cuz you clean the crystal.
  767. 26:06Yeah.
  768. 26:07Clean the crystal.
  769. 26:08You you are a master of the body. I I
  770. 26:10ask you like
  771. 26:12you you say tattoo artist but
  772. 26:14I don't think that's an
  773. 26:16I mean art art we call ourselves
  774. 26:18lifestyle artists but
  775. 26:19I've always not liked the term tattoo
  776. 26:21artist for myself.
  777. 26:22Yeah, so what what are you? A healer?
  778. 26:24Um you know, my mother used to always
  779. 26:26say I was going to be a healer. I think
  780. 26:29what she meant is something I'm learning
  781. 26:31about myself. Um
  782. 26:33I've always been able to
  783. 26:35use energy.
  784. 26:36Spiritual guide.
  785. 26:37Yeah, so I have like my sisters for
  786. 26:39example like
  787. 26:40in the family like me and my father are
  788. 26:42known to have healing hands. So like my
  789. 26:43sisters got a headache. She could you do
  790. 26:45that thing? They don't know what it is,
  791. 26:48but I'm going in.
  792. 26:49Um
  793. 26:50everything emits a frequency, right? So
  794. 26:52it's like for me it's like reading
  795. 26:53braille. I'm like, "Oh, I know where
  796. 26:54it's at. It's right there." "Oh my god,
  797. 26:56how'd you know?"
  798. 26:57It's It's not It's just like I I just
  799. 26:59see it, right?
  800. 27:01So, I think that's why I started
  801. 27:02tattooing because every time I would
  802. 27:04tattoo somebody, I would I would send
  803. 27:05them healing energy or I found myself
  804. 27:07counseling them through the process.
  805. 27:09You're You're You're You're a spiritual
  806. 27:12guide. So, another way to call it is
  807. 27:15your earth angel.
  808. 27:16Earth angel.
  809. 27:17And I've got royally screwed, too,
  810. 27:19because of this. See that? Like, I've
  811. 27:21opened myself up to bad people that were
  812. 27:23just takers and stuff and that was back
  813. 27:25when I didn't understand.
  814. 27:27That But, that's the education.
  815. 27:28Yeah, I I don't regret any of it. So, my
  816. 27:30big question is are they craving therapy
  817. 27:33more than the tattoo and they just don't
  818. 27:35know it?
  819. 27:36Well, so
  820. 27:38I I guess we're defining their craving
  821. 27:40We're We're trying trying to define what
  822. 27:42that that outcome is. We're naming the
  823. 27:44outcome.
  824. 27:45Yeah.
  825. 27:45But, what they're craving is a
  826. 27:46resolution to an emotion.
  827. 27:48Yeah.
  828. 27:48Now, if we call it a therapy, if we call
  829. 27:51it an addiction, if we call it a
  830. 27:53mutilation, whatever it is, those are
  831. 27:56different ways of solving an emotion.
  832. 27:58Mhm.
  833. 27:59That's all it is.
  834. 28:00And when you put it on the body,
  835. 28:03you start to block pathways. Let's see
  836. 28:05what it looks like, you dear.
  837. 28:08Beautiful energy.
  838. 28:12She is She is actually very humorous,
  839. 28:15known to be, too.

  855. 28:43wasn't needing to like try to do it.
  856. 28:45So, here's here's the real art or
  857. 28:47puppets.
  858. 28:51So, take away your face. Like, if you
  859. 28:54were to categorize
  860. 28:56the emotion, the thoughts, the person
  861. 28:59see it.
