...too bad we've only had about a dozen kids come by the house... taking your kids Trick or Treating at a mall is LAME.

Seven reasons why your kids should trick-or-treat in your neighbourhood

Jon saved the day today by filling a cancellation I had.  Coloured a lot of blue in a short period of time.

 

And then tonight, Teagan, Justin and myself had a amazing night of stuffed pretzels and beers.  Double smoked shoulder bacon, and dutch edam stuffed pretzels to be exact.  Good times.

Coloured in a bit of background, cherry blossoms, and koi on a sleeve I haven't worked on in a long time.

Outlined these guys on John today.  Excited to colour them, hopefully next month.

Easing my way back into work... with my ribs being beyond itchy...  Worked on Brian's snake for a few hours today.  We're making good progress on this one since he's in the routine of coming in to get tattooed every 2 weeks.

10.23.11

Back to tattooing today.  Devin's been coming down from GP to get tattooed by me for the last few years, and he's definitely one of my favorite clients.  Covered up an old tattoo on the inside of his arm today with a panther. We'll probably hit it one more time next time he's in town just to be sure that cover up is good and gone.   Awesome way to get back in the swing of things.

I have 2 cats, I love my cats, they're my best friends, I have my cats tattooed on me... so I'm always beyond stoked when someone wants to get a tattoo of/for their cats.

Cats rule.

Today was my last day off for healing... back to work tomorrow, meaning hopefully a tattoo photos will start making their way back onto the blog...

I've been watching a lot of these lately.... Classic Conan from the late 90's....

Chicago Day 2/3

Chicago- Day 1

10.16.11

Chelsey was my last appointment before a my trip to Chicago tomorrow.  Awesome way to end the work week!

 

The blog will probably be pretty quiet over the next few days as I travel, get tattooed, and heal.

10.15.11

First appointment, trying to connect 3 tattoos that we not initially meant to be connected.  I spent more time drawing this on with Danny then I did tattooing it....

Second appointment was the last session on Charlotte's ribs (not including touch ups).  By the end she was sore and shinny... and being that I get my ribs started this Tuesday... I was sympathetic and wasn't going to push it with tons of wiping just for the sake of a good photo.  So the photo's shinny and has tons of flash burn... and I'm okay with that.

10.14.11

First appointment today was working on Robyn's tall ship.  I love tattooing tall ships and this one is getting done at a fairly good pace, which is awesome. 

 

Second appointment was finishing touch ups on Amy's back.  She shouldn't have gotten something so small for her first tattoo, right?  Amy was super committed,  super excited and had a great energy every time I tattooed her.  She made the commitment right from day one to come in once a month to ensure her tattoo was completed in a timely manner.  Perfect client.

After driving Josh and Kathy to the airport... it was another Monday night at Sugarbowl with my good pal Justin.  Good beers, good times...

10.9.11

Josh and Kathy are in town for a couple days.  Finished most of the background on his arm today.  One more session to go...

Added bonus was getting healed pictures of Kathy's flowers.
