It's a deep dark night and I hear you, I've been there

$10 a night gets me a foam mat in a small, grimy room packed with people. The guy in the bunk next to me snores and the guy in the bunk above talks in his sleep. I eat instant noodles with ketchup. I use a towel as a blanket. I sleep in my jacket, spooning my backpack, hoping nothing gets stolen while my eyes are closed. I listen to a lot of Bon Iver and try to sleep. It's tough to drown out the random guy playing banjo in the hallway and the guys fighting outside our window. Living the dream.

I'm tattooing at Dark Day Studios in Vancouver now - Main st and 29th (4560 Main St.). I tattoo for coffee and cookies. Just kidding (But not really). And if you say the secret code word, I give you a 25% discount. Hint: The secret code word is "platypus", so come get tattooed.
