Great two week recap

 I haven't posted in at least 2 weeks, so here's what I've been up to.

Had some friends come in from out of town this Sunday, two best friends got these matching tattoos. Pretty sweet considering I used to play this game when I was little with my brother growing up. This one was challenging since it's a perfect circle. I'm getting better at taking my time.... slow and steady. Need more practice with color blending but this helped me out alot. Thanks to James and Mike for these!


 Saturday at 4th St


 Another walk in


 Walkin...hard to tattoo this area, really weird when you get by the tendon at the back of the ankle.


 Kudos to Kali for letting me do this awesome design on her! Just an outline for now, planning out a color scheme for this. I'm stoked that I have friends that are willing to let me do bigger, fun things on them for practice.


 Led Zeppelin action over at the NJ shop.


 NJ shop appointment, she came in with her mother. this was her first tattoo and was excited about this one.... perfect straight lines.... true test in patience and to TAKE MY TIME.


 Her mother got this one... sorry for the dark photo


 More NJ walkins.... first negative stars, will do this differently next time, but it was fun to do and I hope to see this again to see how it healed.


 No Ka Oi walkin.... big beatles fan, and so am I. Super cool chick, hope to tattoo her again!


 Another walk in, signature on the ankle. Really fun to use a really big liner for this one. I haven't used anything too big since I started.


 Bad photo, this was also a walkin at No Ka Oi


 Refreshing an oldie but goodie...

AFTER


 This is what it looked like BEFORE..............


 I was in NJ one day like 2 weeks ago and my client with the Iron Maiden tattoo came in for this on his other arm... another super challenge and really happy with how it came out.


 Another walk in, I would like to smooth this out a bit more... need to work on my black and grey shading. Slow, steady and smooth. I wish he had shaded the wings as well, but we left this as is.... he wanted it like the image he brought it. Maybe I'll see him again for a little greywash in the wings later on.


 Image from a Sublime album booklet. Fun to do! Really into these not-perfect graphic images.




Walkin at NJ














 This went on the lady with the rose that needed work. Sorry for the bad pic.. i'll try and find a better one.


My first celtic cross! Really a challenge, but glad I got to do it.



More to come.... hopefully this heat wave won't keep people away from getting tattooed!
