I worked on a bit of painting today for new shirts, stickers, prints, etc...

...and then bought some new pencils and pens this evening.

Day off today... I did absolutely nothing...  Therefor, I have nothing to post....

This morning I tattooed this fun one shot on Josie's inner arm.  She wasn't having to much fun until I introduced her to the wonderful world of Bactine.

Second appointment was finishing a sleeve, which was really shinny by the end of the session.  I didn't even bother attempting photos.

I have to work on a few drawings tonight, so no time for chit chat.  Down to buisness-

Blake's underwater sleeve to start the day. Background blue all morning

 

Second appointment was colouring a couple of Cara's flowers.  These were super fun and Cara is super awesome.

I only worked a 1/2 day today because our plumbing problems continue.... Hopefully this time the leak is fixed.

So this afternoon, I worked on Brian's foo dog/ kerin sleeve.  I'd guess we probably started this 2 years ago.  We had an extremely slow start to the project, but Brian seems to be really serious about getting tattooed the last few months which is awesome.  I think he's also learned the lesson that if you put off getting tattooed for 2 years, when you go back to start working on it again, the new colours are quite a bit brighter than the colours that were tattooed 2 years ago... Unfortunately this means more touch ups than normal...  Oh well, it's nice to be making good progress on this sleeve.  I filled and touched up a bunch of background today.

Bad news today... we still have a plumbing leak at the house... BOOOOOOOOOO....

Good news today... all of my clients showed up for their appointments so I have tattoo photos for show and tell today.  YEAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Leanna came in for the first time in a while to have her fruit sleeve worked on today.  Haven't been tattooed in a while... well... let's do something that will feel crappy, like the orange on her elbow to get her back into it.

My second appointment today was my good friend Adam.  I started tattooing Adam... maybe 10... 11 years ago... definitely with in my first few years tattooing.  At that time, he got a half sleeve which was by far the biggest tattoo I'd ever done.  It's been quite a while and most of the color is faded so I'm doing what I can to fix it up and put the colour back into his arm.  We worked on this little King Kong today.  It's definitely an old drawing, but it was pretty fun to recolour after all of these years.

And today's bonus photo- My favorite client and now friend Josh stopped by to drop off and invite to a party she's having.  She was a bit pressed for time, but was awesome enough to make 2 minutes available so I could take a few quick photos of her healed boxer girl on her ribs.

 Super extra bonus photo... This guy arrived today and stopped by the shop to drop off his gear and get a bit set up for tattooing tomorrow.  Ollie came over after I was done work and put his bike together so he has transportation for the next week.  Super awesome seeing Ollie again.  It's going to be a fun week!

Happy June 1st everyone!

Kinda crappy start to the month for me today.  It doesn't happen often, but when it does... it sucks. 

I wish I had an awesome tattoo to show you today, but I don't... instead I guess I have to post this-

 

Hopefully that clears things up.  If you pull a no show for your appointment,  I keep the cash you gave me at the time of the consultation for sitting around with nothing to do all day.
