Kevin was back in today to finish off what we started a few days ago when the power went out on us.  Finished the green peony on the inside of his arm.

After waking up my 11:00am apt at 11:30am to confirm that she had slept through her appointment.... Tracey was awesome and came in early so the day wasn't entirely wasted.  Not only did she come in early, but sat through all of the colour on a large tattoo in some pretty crappy spots.  What a champ!

So... my memory card is missing... I'll work on that tomorrow... the good thing is there are no "portfolio" photos on it, just a bunch of blog photos which have already been posted.  So today's photos are courtesy of Teagan's point and shoot. 

It was my Friday at the studio and what a great Friday it was!  All nature stuff, all day!  Flowers, and birds, and purple background windy stuff, and leaves... so awesome. 

Tattooed my buddy Steve for the first appointment of the day.  Finished all of the background and branches/ pine cones.  Just one bird left and then a bit of add on up top in the empty space.  I didn't tattoo the bass player, and I'm to lazy to blur it out tonight....

Then, Steve wanted to get his lower toes tattooed.  No problem.  I love doing fun impromptu tattoos!  I'd be impressed if someone knew what he got, and yes, using Google search is cheating.   If you know, and aren't a cheater, leave a comment.

Second appointment was Tracey's "cover up".  Cover ups work best when the new tattoo is larger than the area that needs to be covered... I'd say we got it.  Big tattoo, and she sat like a champ, so I was able to fly through the outline faster then I expected we would.   Super awesome when someone sits like a rock while getting this area tattooed.  Nice work Tracey!

Started Kevin's lower 1/2 sleeve today.  We got way more than I expected done in 3hrs.   I know he had dreams of try to do the whole thing in one session, but sat extremely well considering this was his first tattoo and I was working fairly quickly and aggressively.  The peony was super fun, I don't think I've ever done a blue peony before.  Next session we'll finish shading the phoenix and add a bit of red and yellow, as well as possibly add another peony just below his elbow.   Good times.
