OM NOM NOM!!

And so Sarah decided that she wanted the outline for her leg done a week after I did her cupcake. So, here it is! The start of my first big color piece!

My other friend Gizelle came in yesterday to get this script around her back, encircling an existing tattoo. It was a struggle trying to get her in ASAP, because she leaves for Australia next week and it would be best if the tattoo healed in time. Unfortunately, it was the soonest I could get it done so she will have to try to fight the temptations to go swimming for a week while she's on vacation. But in the end it turned out well and she is super excited about it! And so am I, for my first script piece!

OM NOM!

My first color tattoo! This is on my friend Sarah, and she wants to add more candy and deliciousness to create my first big piece on her leg! I am so excited to work on more, it's going to be so much fun. More progress to come! But for now, try to enjoy the tasty cupcake.

From Russia with Love

My friend Andrew came in to get his tattoo today, which he has patiently been waiting for for awhile now. It is a simple outline of a Russian Orthodox cross, a sort of memorial tattoo for his Grandmother that past away recently. It was my seventh tattoo, and it turned out quite nicely. I was a little worried because it was the first super straight lined piece that I have done, but the lines look pretty straight to me! The only thing is, some of them came out thicker than others, so I had to go back over a bunch, and the last line that I did turned out even thicker, so I stopped there before I made anything else worse. If worse comes to worse, I can always fix it in the future if it really bugs him, but it's nothing to be too worried about. He is a guinea pig and he came to me knowing that. It's all a part of learning! But all in all, I am pretty happy with it, and so is Andrew, and once again I am very happy to be a part of something so meaningful to someone.

16 Bones

Today I tattooed 16 bones on four different people! It was on the members of the Black Death Boners, a former local band as of last thursday. Only one of them has been tattooed before, and everyone else took it very well. They were getting this tattoo of their band logo because their drummer is moving away on friday, and even though the band broke up, it is something they can always remember. It was also their first tattoo (save the drummer), and they did it together. And I got to do it! How cool is that? It really does mean a lot, to everyone in many different ways. It was a really cool experience, and I'm happy to have been a part of it!
