So you want some info on me? Ok, proceed with caution.

Well, first of all this avenue of work im currently driving down in 190 km/hour in both lanes is not the road I always travelled. I have held numerous jobs, in fact, I've had such various jobs that my former neighbour suspected me of being a liar. I've worked as a bartender, digital receiver technician, coder, art director, musician (that even brought me on stage on Roskilde festival in 99 Friday night), chef (man that sucked, although I love to cook at home), bouncer, soldier, paperboy, selling stationary supplies for offices ( i beat up the boss so I got fired…odd), plate steel blacksmith/welder and others weird jobs. During all those jobs I always loved to draw and paint although people around me didn't always love me doing it. In fact, my arts teacher in high school told me to leave the class and never come back. Maybe I should pop by the school and show that old bitch my tax reports. Nah never mind, I got sidetracked.

Well, enough with the misty eyes and windy walks, some retrospection if you will allow me…

My job in an advertisement agency eventually brought me to Stockholm where I was only supposed to be for 2 weeks and now I've been in Sweden for 7 years and I will probably be here for many years to come. During my time here I met a girl who would turn out to be my future wife, Lena.
Anyway, The IT wave crashed down hard (big surprise all you suit-wearing worthless projectleaders and consultants), i got laid off like anyone else (thanks man, i still remeber the day with a huge grin on my face you wankers), and i now work with tattooing and cosmetic tattoing and airbrush in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmoe and Copenhagen

We now live apart, divorced but good friends but both in malmoe, Sweden and have a wonderful daughter called Naja who is 5 years old soon.

I still tattoo friends and invites so from time to time you will see new tattoos pop up here and there. Sorry to have to put you thru this but you insisted. Nah, just kidding, thanks for taking your time to read my rant. If I ever meet you ill treat you to a beer and a tale from the land of the vikings.


All the best
Nis
