Aussie appreciation day at the studio today.  Rhys and Chelsey came down to see a show and get tattooed.  How 2 people from Australia have been living in Ft. McMoney for the last few years is beyond me.  Anyways...

I think I almost killed Rhys today, but he finally filled in his stomach.

Chelsey and her friend Sam got matching Sailor Jerry tattoos, with modern day colors.  It's amazing how fun these simple designs are to tattoo, I love old flash.

I finally won a copy of Volume 1 a few weeks ago and it arrived today, completing my collection. Super happy to have all 3 finally!Travel news- I'll be tattooing in Penticton March 31 to April 4th. Space is super limited and about 1/2 the appointments available are already spoken for. If you live in the beautiful Okanagan Valley and are interested in getting tattooed, please email me at shawn@shawnoconnor.ca to set something up.Last order of business- If you're looking to get a copy of the Amsterdam Shark print, you'd be advised to do so fairly soon. As of today, just over 1/2 of them are gone. You can buy your very own copy at the webstore.

Here's yesterdays tattoos, a day late considering I fell asleep just before 10pm last night. I'm exhausted.

Today was day 10 of working with out a day off.... 2 more days to go... If you're math skills are as good as mine, which are quite poor, I'll help you out. On Monday, that will makes 12 days of tattooing in a row....I worked on Katina's 1/2 sleeve to start the day yesterday. I only expected to work on it for a few hrs, but she had other plans. We finished it, with the exception of touch ups and a bit of background to even things off. The healed areas vs the fresh areas are fairly obvious.Then I worked on Nicole's 1/2 sleeve. We coloured the frog, sun, and a bit of the background before I hit the wall. Today I started my day with a small 9:30am apt for a friend. Kevin had his first patent approved, and wanted to mark his achievement with a new tattoo. Super Sailor Jerry traditional fun. Yup, that's the inside of his knee...
I also worked on my friend Rodney's backpiece today, but was too tired by the end of the session to take photos.

Last apt of the day was a last minute cancellation. Normally that frustrates the hell out of me, especially since I went to work early to fit a friend in and could have tattooed Kevin at 3pm instead of 9:30am if my client had given me more notice, but I was able to go home a bit early, and rest up for tomorrow.

I have nothing else to say... I'm tired and going to sleep now...
