I've got one from an old cousin in Nigeria I didn't know I had. Poor fella needed $40,000 to bury an uncle I didn't know I had either.

Sounds rough. I'd send an extra $10k to show you care tbh.

Are you over 65?

That would explain why you and Chunko had a couple dates.

i've gotten a few but not bumrushed per se. i'd rather get more of those than these stupid mexican insurance bullshit and indian scams that i get 10-20 times a day.

do you ever get random calls and texts from people asking for tats? id imagine that has to be the worst.

nah not really. every once in a while i do but not really. i have my clientele and they refer others to me so i don't necessarily work like other shops who have multiple people working at them. i get walk-in clients too but it's rare. i went from a strictly private studio to a walk-in shop but i think i somewhat screwed myself with walk-ins by having a private studio first.

i literally get 10-20 or more calls a day from that mexican insurance crap and a multitude of scams by indians overseas. sometimes i get calls literally back to back which is insane. last week the same indian lady called me back to back about 6 times in 1 min.

what worse than random texts about tattoos, which i don't really get, is being around drunks at bars who find out you're a tattooer and literally want to tell you about all the tattoos they plan to get but will never actually get. so glad i don't drink anymore and haven't for years now. those drunks are the worst!

Yeah, I know the joke. I was joking back.

I've had to half-ass watch 50+ boring-ass Nollywood movies with my wife over the years. She loves those. I think they're tackier and lamer than novelas and hallmark movies, if that's possible. Also way too much boring Jesus and God crap in half of them.

I'm getting hit with hot babes encouraging to vote for Trump.
Unless it's the usual hot babes pursuing me.

This one had an interesting name.
Phonk Doanqk Weh on Facebook. Check it. Not sure if she is going for the Native Indian angle or some play on that funk Memphis rap.

Not getting election texts but am getting texts from women wanting to hook up. And it's always a group text with about 20 other people with the same area code and first three digits of my number.

yeah, those are fake, had those about a year or two ago quite often but then I blocked those scam numbers and they quit

I've gotten tons of these texts and not a one of them has used the correct name. A couple have addressed me as my wife's name at least. I have fun fucking with them though.
