Love this one here. Very nice.

It was there in the reference picture that I found. I thought about having him change it to a cigarette holder, but once I thought of it as a “twig and berries” between her teeth I had to leave it there. It makes me smile.

Thanks everyone. As soon as I saw the stencil for the anchor I knew I was going to love it. And the roses … they are absolutely stunning in person, my poor picture taking skills don’t capture them well at all.

Here’s a better pic, posted by the artist:

I really had a great time at the show.

Another highlight of the weekend … I…[Read more]

Most of the sleeves that I admire the most were designed and done by a single artist, but I never planned on sleeving my arm when I got a REALLY excellent tattoo on my upper arm. Then another artist whose work I admire came to a convention in my city and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get a piece from him. Fast forward a couple of years…[Read more]

It’s Friday, no more sleeps til your appointment! Can’t wait to see what you get. Have a great day!

Oopsie. I couldn’t help myself. I sent out a couple of emails … and I just scored an appointment this Friday at the convention with BJ Betts!!!!!! 😀

(I was hoping to talk to Moni Marino, but she’s not going to be there this year. Randy Englehard is, hopefully I can talk him into finishing up my sleeve next year. Fingers crossed.)

In the…[Read more]

Nice. Never thought that I would say that about tattoos of vegetables, but that really is nice stuff. The other arm looks good, too.

Thanks guys. I still can’t believe that I got a piece from Cecil!

Happy Birthday Dan! Enjoy the day!

Here’s a pic with less glare, this was taken 10 days after the tattoo was done, so it is almost completely peeled:

The artist should have known to use a different colour to represent population density, the red really looks like a rash.

Find someone more talented and skilled for your next tattoo. (‘Cuz you know that there’s gonna be a next one.)

At my appointment last week the artist was telling me about his experiences using saniderm. He had a couple of clients bring it in and they had really good heals. So he tried using it on a client that comes in regularly, who always heals well, and it didn’t go well at all. Tried it again on the same guy and he healed rough again. Needed touch…[Read more]

She was already beautiful, but is even better now. I’d say that you have earned yourself a break after the last couple of years.

Ooooo. I like this. Especially the negative space spider web. Knocked it out of the park again. As usual.

Beautiful pictures of the town. And your beautiful wifey.

Whoever did that anchor clearly doesn’t take any pride in their work if they let it leave the shop looking like that. They could have easily fixed it but chose not to. An uneven anchor would drive me nuts!

The feather is o.k. but boring. (FYI: my first tattoo was boring, too. :o)

I really like this piece. I’ve come back to look at it more than once. (O.K. truth? more than 4X) 😀

No shoes. No socks. Until healed. Period.

This means that we’re gonna see something good soon! Can’t wait!

A different tattoo, a different magazine and a different continent … just found out that my newest tattoo, the one from Luka Lajoie, is in the new issue of Freshly Inked magazine! The one with Randy Englehard on the cover. I am feeling pretty damn special right about now. 😀 😀 😀
