Sometimes there are days when nothing exists outside of work, haha. So don’t text me or call me right now because… I don’t have time for you :P
There are times when, even in the idyllic life of a crafter, deadlines start chasing you and all your focus sharpens solely on completing the next task. Friends, socializing, and even the oh-so-important balance, relaxation, and rest – all of that disappears. Of course, with a well-planned strategy, it’s definitely possible to avoid such extreme situations. But when I get a spontaneous idea that I have to realize, it turns all my daily routines upside down. I actually enjoy those little revolutions – they give me power and excitement.
It’s true that the workday never ends, especially when you’re your own boss :D
Like today – I woke up at dawn and wasn’t sure whether it was evening or morning… haha… I’m reaching a level of exhaustion that’s definitely calling for balance. But I’m only half-listening to myself, because for now: “I don’t have time” :P.
I’m aware of how long I can push myself like this without totally burning out – and I stick to that.
And just like now, sometimes slowing down simply isn’t an option. I have to meet my planned production quota ;) . It always pays off – our efforts usually bring amazing results and real satisfaction.
So what am I talking about? The tattoo convention!
I’ve been planning to take part in Tattoofest in Krakow since the very beginning of Catland. After all, the graphics that decorate my boxes are inspired by traditional old-school tattoo designs. This convention is a very important event for me, but I first needed to gain experience and refine the quality of my products. There’s always something we can do better – I know that.
Now I’ve finally made the decision, and I’m wildly happy – I feel like a kid! I’m both super excited and kind of wishing time would slow down, because I still have tons of prep work to do.
See you at Tattoofest on June 7–8, 2025 in Kraków at Expo Hall. Second link goes to Instagram.
