Squirrel-alope!

Jordan came all the way from Edmonton to ride Whitewater and get tatty zapped! Such a rad idea! Thanks a bunch, Jordan! Always a pleasure to visit, and we'll see you soon!!

First Guest Spot of 2015!

Hope everyone had a great holiday season. We're already looking forward to 2015, and as such already have our first Calgary guest spot of the new year lined up!

Rib Party

Angus was the last tattoo appointment before our Christmas holidays, and HOLY SHIT. 6.5 hours on the ribs! Thanks, man! See you soon!

(PS: Sorry for the grainy photos. We're working on that!)

Psychedelic Psaturday!

Colour session number one done on Erica's "I Am The Walrus" thigh! So much fun. So many 70's-tastic colours, so many more to come. Thanks, Erica!

Slots & Skulls

Had a bit of a Traditional day at work yesterday!

Clay's slot machine & roses (& swallow & moonshine!) lower arm:

Gabe's Sailor Jerry flash. Done just how it should be done- straight up!

Fun day, great folks, and lots of visitors.  Thanks, y'all!

Waves & Mountains

Some super fun inner arm action for Bailey from yesterday. Thanks a bunch, Bailey!

Rib Party

...and not the flavourful BBQ kind.

If you're a regular follower, you're familiar with Jesse. Jesse has been getting tattooed by Shawn for a few years now. And has the coverage to show for it. Full back, full sleeves and chest panels. All that was left for the torso was some rib to breadbasket action.

Here are the epic results. Skull trapper was outlined this session. And hey! After a few hours of outlining on one side of your ribs, why not do a little bit of work on the eagle side of things?

Thanks for coming out, Jesse. You're a machine!

Kootenay backpiece

HUGE first session on our pal Ali's backpiece! Big wing cover-up up top that will be going away as well. Moose and mountains on her left shoulder to hammer out next sesh. Thanks, Ali. You're a champ and sat like a damn ROCK. Stoked to see this piece as it progresses!

Roses Thigh

Finished up Tracy's rose thigh! Such a fun project, and subsequently, lots of fun hangouts as well! Thank-you so much, Tracy!!

Rainy Daze.

It has been decidedly non-wintery here over the past week. Rain, rain, and more rain instead of snow, snow and more snow... At least there are a bunch of big new projects coming up over the next few weeks to get stoked about!

Real-Life Zodiac!

Got a nice first colour session in on Roger's real-life Zodiac 1/2 sleeve today! He was one of the very VERY first to get tattooed at the beginning of the Nelson adventure. It is always great to hear from and hang out with you, Roger!  Thanks again!

Double Love x 2!

Healed photo of Lindsay Ann's wolf, as well as the 2 pieces she snagged at the show (the first sales- before anything had even been hung!) AND Cassie's butterfly lady, and the painting that is lucky enough to go home with her! You guys are great, and we're super grateful for all of your support.
