Tattoo frenzy!

My phone rang at 11 am while I was laying in bed, still waking up, with my friend asking me f I wanted to tattoo her today. It seemed pretty urgent. I thought suuuure, why not? Later I discovered that it was urgent because it was already drawn on her. It was a signature from a voice actor named Scott McNeil, who has done a few voices for characters from the old Beastiesseries, Wolverine from X-Men: Evolution, and Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z. He had signed his name with a heart on her hip, and she just wanted the heart tattooed in grey (the signature was in silver Sharpie). She even got him to make a voice mail recording of him doing most of the character's voices on her phone! It's pretty amazing when you listen to it!

So I thought, since she is getting something done, might as well bring Troy in to color his leg. And to my surprise, our friend Schnell wanted one as well! Not only that, but it was a finger tattoo. I was extremely reluctant just because I have never done a finger tattoo before, and I was doing these without my mentor there. So I told her that I would think about it, but sure enough, they convinced me to do it in the end. And I'm sure glad they did! It turned out awesome!

Here are some pictures, but the ones I have of Troy's leg are sort of bloody, so I will post better ones later once it's all healed. Tomorrow I get to work on the candy piece! For real this time!
