Hey! I’m sooooo happy that I found your channel!!!!! I love the way you outfitted your Element…it’s brilliant!!!! I have an old 98 Accord that I have been wanting to turn into a camper. I’ve been trying to get ideas for over 4 years. I am trying really hard to do something for myself. I have been dealing with a lot of stress after my divorce but I have the innate feeling of wanting to be outside all the time. Away from the city on dispersed federal land. I have purchased everything you can imagine to do this but because of my CPTSD I second guess my actual abilities all the time. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and would love to get your assistance with converting my old car into a home away from home getaway. I think that it would be easier for me to stay focused if I had someone helping me. You are more than welcome to come stay here if you’re ever in the area. Please let me know if there’s any way you can fit me in your schedule. Thanks
Iv been waiting to help some one get started with van life and you have been the 1st person to ever reach out like this im gonna be working my way back to the west coast to CA and then go up into Washington for a meet but after that I would love to help ya out email me so we can talk more or feel free to join my discord what ever works best for you all my links are in my bio 👍🏼
You could tell this guy ACTUALLY lives in this thing. Unlike some of these other guys who just film themselves traveling and act like they live in their vehicles full time
Yeah van life isn’t always a perfect pretty thing I kinda hate that people are like oh it’s like this all the time it’s definitely not always nice and pretty
@@velocitypromo3177 I noticed a pattern of that with a few RUclipsrs who are just starting out saying how they live in the car but never show their night time routines or end up spending the night with their boyfriends at their place, I’m just like girl you’re not a car dweller. Rosa from life in my element is another good content creator.
@Blahhhhhh156 seriously?🤣Mav doesn't claim to be a van life channel, its literally a camping/glamping and fishing with cooking in there also and his content is great as he has different fun vehicles to use
I always wondered how people live in such small cars and seem to have everything so neat and barely have anything there. Yours is so realistic and it shows that you didn’t take things out of your car just to do a video. I love it.
@@HerbsElement No..thank you brother! For the realism!! Please keep living the life that some of us are scared on attempting to live! May your journey continue to be filled with nothing but love and good memories! Youve earned my subbed🙏🏻🙏🏻
Finally - someone who can show how many years playing Tetris is NEVER wasted!!!! I LOVE this video. You have got it down to exactly what you need. The way you lay everything out logically - you really understand "a place for everything, and everything in its place". Awesome job; I'm really impressed. Thanks for sharing.
This is the realist van/suvlife tour I've seen! It's not always fancy things and space. It's crowded and a bit chaotic! I've been doing this for almost a year, and this is what it's really like! Instant follow! 💚💚💚
Amazing that when I was growing up my parents told me to go to college or I would end up living in a van down by the river… fast forward to 2024, cost of living is insane and I’ll never afford a house. I’m watching this finding myself envious of a guy who get to drive around the country living in his van by the river. Keep it up dude you’re living the dream
You said you have to clean but it’s obvious that you’ve been maintaining the cleanliness of your Honda home for yourself and your cute little dog. No stains no spills couldn’t even see any shedding fur from your dog either. Enjoyed your video giving a thumbs up.
If your build works for you, THAT is all that matters. You have a lot of interest/hobbies/work related 'things' and know where it's all at and that is a biggy when living in such a small space. THANK YOU for sharing your home on wheels.
Dude! This is the FIRST realistic van tour I have seen! Awesome doors! Love the water pipe, love the bed. You are organized! Nice set up. Pretty puppy! Subbed!
You know your water rack on the roof put a shower head on the end of it then you'd be able to take showers and because it's black the sun will heat it up portable shower
This is the first video I’ve watched of yours and I subscribed. I love watching van life and camping videos. I just love the roof water system and the way you store your laundry.♥️
Had an Element and loved it. More spacious inside than people seem to think, perfect small/urban stealth camper set-up. Living that Travels with Charley lifestyle that too many people talk about but never experience.
I absolutely love it. !! I like that you showed it raw and un edited because some may like all the Instagram super clean and what not I loved this video was my first time watching and I think what ever makes you happy heck ya !!
I don't see why you had to say anything about him being a big man. I see you and what you tried to do. He is such a genuine and sweet guy u can tell he is honest open to helping others don't throw shots at him on the low. I can tell this man is a good guy and that my friend is all that matters..
@@wingedhussar1453 Bitch read it.. u know exactly wtf I'm talking bout.. find somebody else to play with... talking bout wtf I'm talking bout.. please don't play with me sir ma'am whatever TF u are. U can't bully me
We have two Elements and if we were younger we’d do this, at least part time. Your set up gives me anxiety! If it were me, I’d empty the whole thing out and start from scratch and reorganize. I bet you’d feel so great!
@@HerbsElement I don’t really mean the build, but rather the organization. I bet you’d have a lot more room! Everybody has their own “system” though, so it wasn’t criticism. My husband and I have a 2003 and a 2004, both look nearly new. I live vicariously on the road through you, Rosa,Mindi and the other Element dwellers!
The build comes with how you organize those my bed has space underneath it so I use it I would possibly think about removing my passenger seat but maybe when I get to the well coast I would try that out I could leave the seat at my bothers place that would give me a bit more ground room but definitely something I would have to test out
Thumbs up dude! You got everything u need in your tiny Honda Element and seem to be happy with it. I live in an own house and feel like missing so much things. I have the greatest respect for you
This is kind of brilliant, and I love your sense of aesthetics! The one thing I wish you would have shown us was the fully extended bed with the driver's side seat reclined!
@@HerbsElement I thought they might, instead of the Prologue, bring the Element back as their first fully electric vehicle. It would have done so, so well.
I started off just like you, it was supposed to be temporary but I lived in my 2017 Chrysler 300 and ended up loving the freedom and waking up next to my morning appointments . I took care of so many things but my car broke down I ended up homeless I couldn't afford the repairs which kept happening and the last time I used up my resources and couldn't pay. But I loved living on the road and showering at the gym .. just wish I had a car your size or a van . The only problem is you better be prepared if your car ever breaks down ..
Thanks for sharing your build! I love the way your Element looks! And gengar is also my favorite Pokémon! That being said, my barber has been doing van life for a year now and he tells me he didn’t expect how much anxiety he would feel having his entire life inside his van. Have you experienced similar feelings? He said he felt it the most when he had to park somewhere far and felt the need to constantly be checking on his van whenever he was out with friends. In any case, wish you best of luck in this life journey man!
Yeah that’s definitely a thing that happens if I park some where to far I definitely get a bit of anxiety because yeah my whole life is in the car and people do be doing a lot of smash and grabs as of late so definitely a bit scary sometimes
It’s quite a mess to be honest but if you’re happy that’s all it matters and I respect that-heck I wish I could feel that free but with wife and kids and a mortgage not gonna happen anytime soon 😅 wish you luck in your endeavors sir.
I like the idea. But its time to take everything out at once and make a choice if it goes back in. Like the cups, the chalk, basically everything that's not making life easier now. Much Love dude.
Hey just to let you know your ac recirculation pulls air from the passenger side by the floor board so having it blocked like that wont let your ac cool very well and will wear out your blower motor faster
You should store your clothes in the pillow protector case that way your clothes will stay fresh because sweat and odor won’t penetrate it like regular pillow case fabric, plus you can put the pillow case over it. How do you keep your water safe on the roof?
Awesome! I love this! I just got back from travelling around for 3 weeks in my 2005 skola fabia station which I converted into a micro camper as well. I love how easy life became and how everything becomes a ritual and everything gets its own place to live. Well done and enjoy it for as long as you like!
@@HerbsElement Apparently, the commenter,@LJ777 thinks I'm a liar. Which I'm not and do not appreciate being called one. I was being honest with what I said. I want that comment taken down. I have reported it but as yet to no avail. You can remove it though. Your subscribers should not have to put up with being called names. Being called a liar is really offensive! Really enjoying your channel and content! ✌️😊
Wow! Your van is really crowded. At least, you have everything you need for work all within arms reach. I hope living and working in your van is allowing you to save money to get a bigger vehicle at some point. I didn't hear you say where your pup sleeps, and rides on your journeys.
@@HerbsElement bro it is you I work with the homie grant, I was the Filipino guy that always had a different hat on lmaoo I’m still trippin that you’re RUclips was recommended to me 😂
Dude that’s so awesome Iv been traveling for the past few months but I’ll be back in the bay soon I’ll have to stop by and say hi how’s grant been miss the B2 people
A lot of element enthusiast build the sliding drawers long and deep in back of their cars it Organizes everything and easy to find allowing more room They also put up a Tent roof from inside of car allowing them more space as well to sleep in during summer months.
Isn’t that the best part about these cars ever one has there own kind of set up and I love that so much every one sees the cars as a blank canvas and they make something out of them
Happy to see you doin your thang man! It's Ken from Chicago! Lost your number about a year ago 😭. If your journey ever takes you to the Chicagoland area definitely hit me up so I can give you a tour!
Honestly this is a sloppy setup. Definitely not for me, but you aren't doing this for me you're doing this for you and you love every bit of it. That's all that matters. Keep traveling and enjoying yourself
@@LexiSantos you chose to insult the man and then tried to lighten the blow and make your comment seem genuine at the end . You could have kept the first part to yourself. I cant stand egotistical losers like you.
Very impressive build. You've gotta show us some of those yoyo skills! I think I'd have a set up very similar to yours when I get a new car. They don't sell the Element here in Australia so I'm not sure what to get... Maybe a RAV4? 😀
Dude i was watching this and honestly we could be twins you look so much like me its pretty crazy really good content i definitely subscribed and will be following your journey bro safe travels maybe one day you will head south to Texas be safe out there bro
@HerbsElement bring it bro you gotta see Galveston and if you come through baytown let me know I would love to see the set up in person and again we really look alike
New Sub! You two came up on my suggested videos so here I am and here I'll stay. I like the Element, I've not seen or noticed one before being in Motor and Vehicle Cities, my Mom had a continental with suicide doors and I love that about your Honda might have to go test drive one, I'll tell em you sent me! Happy Trails!
Love it! Great ideas you have! Wish I was younger and stronger. I would do the same and build some wealth. Is this a less expensive option than renting?
Because I’m traveling as much as i am I would say it’s about as expensive as rent but when I’m in a single place and am not going state to state I spend maybe 400 a month that being 120 on my phone 115 on car insurance and the rest on food it can be very cheap
This is awesome bro I subbed within 30 seconds. You rock man, I’ve lived in my car for a couple weeks at a time for work and travel. I keep a planet fitness membership and shower at them. I don’t have a home I stay with a relative. The only thing I don’t bring with me is some of my tools, I’m constantly downsizing. My car is a 5 speed versa sedan. You have everything organized it seems like
Man that’s awesome thank you for subbing and I like hearing peoples story’s every one has a backstory and I really like hearing them I hope you are doing bro 😀
Just curious, how many miles on tgat Element? Was looking into a used one in really good condition with 70k miles on it going for $8800. Seems expensive to me though. Its a 2006.
Not sure about the element price but in general .. MOST Hondas are die hards if kept up with maintenance. I had a Honda Civic that I did my 1st couple years with the nomad life, even pulled a 5x10 cargo trailer with it.. yes you read that lol. bought it used 52k miles, retired it at 298k and was still running solid. Best of luck and maybe see ya on the road some where in travels.
Just subbed. Was watching Rosie living in her Element but she decided to take a hike on the Appalachian trail i think. Somewhere anyway. Element. Owners get together somewhere every year and swap stories. So I shall watch you. Hello from N.C. Love your doggie
Cool video, thanks! Just curious how the solar panel got lost and how was it attached? Asking cuz I’m about to try something different for the next panel on my minivan.
You get in an auto accident with all that stuff sitting around loose it could be ugly same for anything your mounting on the roof should be mounted with proper hardware if that solar panel came off and landed on another car it could be your financial responsibility.
Hi! I am a new subscriber and I love your rig! I am a disabled grandmother “of size” and I travel for suicide awareness. I used to camp in a 2010 Dodge grand Caravan, but I found taking another person and pets did not work in such a small space. Now I bought n live in a 40 foot school bus with a wheelchair lift. I have done a no build build. And I am waiting for parts to fix the wheelchair lift, so I am stuck on my property outside of Palestine Texas. But I am looking forward to getting back on the road and I am also looking for a different vehicle for local short trips as the cost of diesel makes it expensive running to town in this beast. I love the simplicity of your Honda. Personally, I am looking for a full-size van as I travel with several pets and either a grandchild or my sister-in-law. God bless, stay safe and enjoy your travels. JeffeysMom ❤️👍🏻👨🦼🚍
Your story is awesome and really amazing a lot of people from Texas have reached out to me and it really makes me want to check out Texas for sure I hope you continue to enjoy your travels ☺️
Yooooo! when i first saw your yo-yo case after the heat gun i was so surprised and stoked! I Was like "wait is that a yoyo case with some goodies in it?" A fellow thrower myself. Made me happy to find that on an un yo related video. Thanks for the entertainment!
Currently I have 130,709 miles on the car and a year and half ago I was working a full time job so I was able to pay off all my debts and save money now I just make money from RUclips so thank you for watching ☺️
@@HerbsElement ahh ok I appreciate you man just found your channel you seen real cool,God bless you im hoping to get a Honda element soon but will probably be awhile haha also what areas do you go to? Like Cali or further?

Awwww Hank how cute ☺️ man a lot of people from Texas I’m gonna have to go to one of the big cites and have a meet there or something haha
Damn dude 😅 aren’t you scared of a fire ? You have A LOT of shenanigans in there . Definitely need to part with some stuff . Be safe out there 🙌🏼
Not really I haven’t done anything that would make me feel like I would set off a fire as of yet
@@candykizz3z68 yeah there's wayyy too much stuff going on in there
You are very organised and I love that you know where everything is at any given time! Your wee dog is adorable. 🐕 ✌️
Thank you very much everything is where I know it is and the pup is the best
Why am I a liar? Explain please?
@@HerbsElement Apparently, the commenter,@LJ777 thinks I'm a liar. Which I'm not and do not appreciate being called one. I was being honest with what I said. I want that comment taken down. I have reported it but as yet to no avail. You can remove it though. Your subscribers should not have to put up with being called names. Being called a liar is really offensive! Really enjoying your channel and content! ✌️😊
This gives me the idea to turn my fit into a camper, its got the right amount of room imo.
Dude a Honda fit hell yeah I had some one reach out to me about doing car life out of a Honda fit how cool dude
Wow! Your van is really crowded. At least, you have everything you need for work all within arms reach. I hope living and working in your van is allowing you to save money to get a bigger vehicle at some point. I didn't hear you say where your pup sleeps, and rides on your journeys.
He sleeps with me and sits where ever haha he likes to roam
I just found your channel. I am a new subscriber. Nice set up.
Thank you so much I definitely enjoy my car
Dude this sick! Love the wrap and tour, thanks for sharing man!
Yeah of course
Never thought a Element looked that dope
They are cool cars for sure
Bro I swear you look just like this dude that used to deliver metal to my shop in Fremont California lol
Hahaha i used to do that for a job Windustral tube pipe and strut haha
@@HerbsElement bro it is you I work with the homie grant, I was the Filipino guy that always had a different hat on lmaoo I’m still trippin that you’re RUclips was recommended to me 😂
Dude that’s so awesome Iv been traveling for the past few months but I’ll be back in the bay soon I’ll have to stop by and say hi how’s grant been miss the B2 people
@@HerbsElement man he’s doing great! Tuesday is his last day but I’ll dm you on IG!
Sounds good man dam that’s wild you found my page the world works in mysterious ways
Hey bro Herb I hope 1 day you make it big enough to afford a sprinter van omg you could make and unbelievable build out of those bro.
I would want a bus build next a short bus I feel like that would be fun
An MCT city Bus is perfect....I think they are an f450 chassis...And you can buy them for under 15k then build
@@YardSellFlipper that would be cool for sure
A lot of element enthusiast build the sliding drawers long and deep in back of their cars it Organizes everything and easy to find allowing more room They also put up a Tent roof from inside of car allowing them more space as well to sleep in during summer months.
Isn’t that the best part about these cars ever one has there own kind of set up and I love that so much every one sees the cars as a blank canvas and they make something out of them
This is exactly what my van would look like if I left home as a child - i like it x)
Haha that’s a vibe yeah still a kid at heart
Happy to see you doin your thang man! It's Ken from Chicago! Lost your number about a year ago 😭. If your journey ever takes you to the Chicagoland area definitely hit me up so I can give you a tour!
I don’t think I’ll be going that way this time but you will know if I go that way for sure I always post when ever I’m in a new state
So this is what a turtle looks like without its shell.
Keep it up dude, living the life, looks good!
It’s the life for me haha
The water tube on top is clever! This is an awesome build so far
Thank you I do have a video on making the tube it’s a few videos back but if you look I’m sure you will find it 😄
Honestly this is a sloppy setup. Definitely not for me, but you aren't doing this for me you're doing this for you and you love every bit of it. That's all that matters. Keep traveling and enjoying yourself
😋 thanks
Yeah,I agree 100%
@@LexiSantos, I get that this it's not for you but using the word "Sloppy" is just rude! Very Sloppy vocabulary! ✌️
@@LexiSantos you chose to insult the man and then tried to lighten the blow and make your comment seem genuine at the end . You could have kept the first part to yourself. I cant stand egotistical losers like you.
Nice underhanded compliment, weirdo
❤❤❤❤❤ love the tour of your element thanks hun. ❤❤❤
Thanks MJ 🥰
Damn nice definitely the coolest element on RUclips you also seem like a chill ass dude nice vid man
Dam thanks man ☺️
Life is going to bless you with a Mini RV, dude! You see 💯✌️🫡
That would be wild haha
Look at 9th Element for some organization ideas of a small place.
Yeah seen it I like how my lay out is right now ☺️
Very impressive build. You've gotta show us some of those yoyo skills! I think I'd have a set up very similar to yours when I get a new car. They don't sell the Element here in Australia so I'm not sure what to get... Maybe a RAV4? 😀
A RAV4 would make for a great car to camp/live out of I would say do it man build that bad boy
Nice build homie, glad to have found the channel. I have an SUV I wanted to turn into a Glamper for when I travel, good information in here
Heck yeah dude glad you found me 😃
Love the no build, build. You seem to have all the creature comforts you need!
It’s definitely my personal build ☺️ i love it for sure
I like your PVC water tank. That is a good idea. I’ll have to do that. Thanks.
Definitely give it a shot I love mine
You git it going on. Way to go. And God keep you and your little dog safe
Thank you
Appreciate the tour! I love seeing realness.
This as real as it gets haha a friend wanted to see my car so I uploaded the video so they could see it and yeah now it’s been seen by a lot of people
The perfect nerd van, respectfully
Yeah I’m a nerd no offense at all 🤓
Is that a tail of the dragon sticker on the back passenger side window? I am 20 minutes away from the dragon! Phenomenal road and place!
Dude I love driving that road it’s so much fun I have a few videos of the dragon
Dude i was watching this and honestly we could be twins you look so much like me its pretty crazy really good content i definitely subscribed and will be following your journey bro safe travels maybe one day you will head south to Texas be safe out there bro
So many people watch me out in Texas I need to just travel out that way for a bit y’all got alot to do out there
@HerbsElement bring it bro you gotta see Galveston and if you come through baytown let me know I would love to see the set up in person and again we really look alike
New Sub! You two came up on my suggested videos so here I am and here I'll stay. I like the Element, I've not seen or noticed one before being in Motor and Vehicle Cities, my Mom had a continental with suicide doors and I love that about your Honda might have to go test drive one, I'll tell em you sent me! Happy Trails!
I 💯 agree you should test drive one they are a good car and I’m glad you subbed thank you for helping out my channel 😊
Love it! Great ideas you have! Wish I was younger and stronger. I would do the same and build some wealth. Is this a less expensive option than renting?
Because I’m traveling as much as i am I would say it’s about as expensive as rent but when I’m in a single place and am not going state to state I spend maybe 400 a month that being 120 on my phone 115 on car insurance and the rest on food it can be very cheap
someone get this man a solar panel!
I bought one but thank you 😀
This is awesome bro I subbed within 30 seconds. You rock man, I’ve lived in my car for a couple weeks at a time for work and travel. I keep a planet fitness membership and shower at them. I don’t have a home I stay with a relative. The only thing I don’t bring with me is some of my tools, I’m constantly downsizing. My car is a 5 speed versa sedan. You have everything organized it seems like
Man that’s awesome thank you for subbing and I like hearing peoples story’s every one has a backstory and I really like hearing them I hope you are doing bro 😀
Just curious, how many miles on tgat Element? Was looking into a used one in really good condition with 70k miles on it going for $8800. Seems expensive to me though. Its a 2006.
Not sure about the element price but in general .. MOST Hondas are die hards if kept up with maintenance. I had a Honda Civic that I did my 1st couple years with the nomad life, even pulled a 5x10 cargo trailer with it.. yes you read that lol. bought it used 52k miles, retired it at 298k and was still running solid. Best of luck and maybe see ya on the road some where in travels.
Watching this, I can’t figure out how an adult would be able to sleep in there. Can you show someone actually lying down in there?
I’m 5”7 just a big guy but I sleep pretty comfortably in there I’m gonna be making another video soon 👍🏼
Just subbed. Was watching Rosie living in her Element but she decided to take a hike on the Appalachian trail i think. Somewhere anyway. Element. Owners get together somewhere every year and swap stories. So I shall watch you. Hello from N.C. Love your doggie
Hi thank you for the sub and I’m in N.C right now now in Raleigh I’ll be leaving to Oklahoma soon but it’s been really nice here 😀
Love your build..love your energy...Thank you for this video....❤❤❤
Thank you ☺️
Cool video, thanks! Just curious how the solar panel got lost and how was it attached? Asking cuz I’m about to try something different for the next panel on my minivan.
Mine was attached with carabiners. It looks like I have a broken one so I’m pretty sure the rest ended up breaking too while I was driving.
@@HerbsElement Oh man, sorry to hear it.
You get in an auto accident with all that stuff sitting around loose it could be ugly same for anything your mounting on the roof should be mounted with proper hardware if that solar panel came off and landed on another car it could be your financial responsibility.
Awesome video, love your whole set up and of course your pup.
Thank you
You are very easy for me to lip read❤🤓. Easier than most people.
Iv been told that before by a deaf friend so thank you ☺️
Cute puppy!!!!
He is the best little traveling partner
never seen an escalade stuffed into an element before
Hi! I am a new subscriber and I love your rig! I am a disabled grandmother “of size” and I travel for suicide awareness. I used to camp in a 2010 Dodge grand Caravan, but I found taking another person and pets did not work in such a small space. Now I bought n live in a 40 foot school bus with a wheelchair lift. I have done a no build build. And I am waiting for parts to fix the wheelchair lift, so I am stuck on my property outside of Palestine Texas. But I am looking forward to getting back on the road and I am also looking for a different vehicle for local short trips as the cost of diesel makes it expensive running to town in this beast. I love the simplicity of your Honda. Personally, I am looking for a full-size van as I travel with several pets and either a grandchild or my sister-in-law. God bless, stay safe and enjoy your travels. JeffeysMom
❤️👍🏻👨🦼🚍
Your story is awesome and really amazing a lot of people from Texas have reached out to me and it really makes me want to check out Texas for sure I hope you continue to enjoy your travels ☺️
@@HerbsElement thank you! I moved to Texas 20 some years ago and I absolutely love it.❤️
Really impressed with storage and room in the Element!
Just so much room it’s kinda wild
Oooooooohhhh, oooooohhhhhhh, ooooooohhhhhhh, ooooooohhhhhhhh, oooh oooh oooh, oooooooooohhhhhhhhhh, oooohhhhhhoooohhhhhhhhh soooooommmmmmeeewwhhheeeeehrrrreee ovverrr the rainnnboowwwww, wayyyyyy uuppppp hiighhhhhhh
Love that song
That thing gotta smell like a loose bowel.
I don’t smoke 😅
Not bowl…bowel like a bowel movement
Smells like noir bath and body works
Yooooo! when i first saw your yo-yo case after the heat gun i was so surprised and stoked! I Was like "wait is that a yoyo case with some goodies in it?" A fellow thrower myself. Made me happy to find that on an un yo related video. Thanks for the entertainment!
I like one drops what do you throw?
I guess that’s better than living on the streets. Your doggie is the best part 😊
The dog is the best part for sure
Remember back when living in a car was humiliating?
Cool how times change right
How many miles does your car have?also what do you do for money since you said you were going to rent an apartment again??
Currently I have 130,709 miles on the car and a year and half ago I was working a full time job so I was able to pay off all my debts and save money now I just make money from RUclips so thank you for watching ☺️
@@HerbsElement ahh ok I appreciate you man just found your channel you seen real cool,God bless you im hoping to get a Honda element soon but will probably be awhile haha also what areas do you go to? Like Cali or further?
@@remedy334 the further Iv gone was Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 I’m in Pennsylvania right now I’ll be back in the west coast in about a month
Hi!!! You mentioned that you have tattoo equipment. Do you do tattoos on the road to help supplement your income?
