One Great Weekend

Generally I get to do a tattoo that I'm really into about once every two weeks. I got two this weekend. The first one was a tattoo that a good client had been thinking about getting for awhile, that seemed challenging to me, that he finally decided on. Too bad it was right before he moved, which is always a sad day for me (had two of them this week, as I work near Lackland AFB, which is where all the air force trainees are, well...trained).

His feesh..



The second one was a girl's first tattoo, and I always love tattooing birds.



I love seeing people when they see their new tattoo for the first time looking as excited and as happy as this girl did.

Don't Die!!

This has got to be the stupidest news story I've heard in a while.

Clickatron for stupidity!

Digital Tattoos?

I still havent decided wether this is awesome because I love technology, or stupid is hell because I love my way of tattoos.

Space Bunnies, Baconstaches And Karate Kids

So, before I'm a tattoo artist, I'm a mom. My son is in karate, and his oversized gi needed his name on the back. So, I go get some iron-on letters, and put them on his gi. Now, I'm supposed to be an artist. How hard is it to get irn-on letters on fabric? Apparently, it doesn't work for me. I put his name on so crooked it looks like a politician. But hey, I couldn't get my son to stop moving.


(That was a joke there, son.)

And, since this is a tattoo blog, how about another tattoo?

We have an apprentice at the shop, named Bacon. He was named by my six year old daughter when she walked up to him one day and said "You smell like bacon. Carry me Bacon!" and when he said something to her, she yelled "Talking bacon?!?!" and ran. So, I have called him Bacon ever since, and told him the other day that he was getting a bacon tattoo. He just needed to tell me where. So, he came up with this little gem.



Best tattoo I did all day.

Another fun one I started the other day was the Space Bunny. This was the girl's first tattoo, and, after my own heart, decided 'go big or go home'. Here you go.



I'm going to go back into it after it heals, smooth out the background and put some darker tones in it. I can't wait to finish it.

The Picture I Promised

I finally got my computer up and running, after a couple of down days. The last post was from my phone, which explains the horrible typos. Heh, never doing THAT again, lol. Anyways, here's the picture I promised.
