Hijack in progress.

I wont go back to Brandon bonds all or nothing in Atlanta.
The douchebag behind the desk (young punk) was more interested in showing me his “award winning” tattoos than setting up a consultation with Dave tedder. And I sat on the couch waiting for twenty minutes of being ignored before I finally…

I like it.
I like the undies are they new?

If I’m dropping my pants, I’m not wearing terrible underwear. I bought them back when I was dating someone I might sleep with. That never got lift off. Now I wear nice underwear for tattoo and doctor appointments.

So who was the dickhead? We want to know.

Don’t know his name, but will not go to Roustabout Tattoo in Cookeville, TN.

It sure sound like a very rewarding day!

It was. I don’t mind being busy when it’s like that. Tomorrow I have to get a pap and correct that they overcharged me at the store I went to, but you know, I don’t mind when I get stuff done, don’t have to be around moping family, and I can just get out and enjoy myself. I’m…[Read more]

Today was a really good day:

1) I got my teeth cleaned and my gums are in excellent health.

2) I got a facial/glycolic acid peel. The congestion on my cheeks and chin are GONE! And no redness. And I only have to wait a day to wear makeup.

3) I had lunch at this great little cafe/bakery. I got cupcakes for the tattoo shop there because…[Read more]

It wasn’t what I pictured either. And he wants totally something else for the other one. I told him he’s really been great and I trust him to do any color, whatever he likes, even if it’s not flowers, on the other side. Just as long as it “fits” and is the same size, roughly. I think he lives in his own world as an artist and kind of does his…[Read more]

Nice one. Congrats. And thanks for the triple shot to see the progression. It’s cool to see it like that.

Agreed. I love progression sets.

Thank you. This crappy webcam isn’t picking up the lovely level of detail, but I’ve decided to get quality photos for all of them once I hit #10. This was #6.

Well done!

If it makes you feel better, I have fine lines and arthritis and I’m just approaching the third decade of my life. 🙁

The tattoos are cool, though.

Prt sc might work. Good art is good art. I don’t think it has to stylistically fit into a box to be good.

I brought the two guys in the shop cupcakes today, one vanilla and one chocolate each, from my favorite little bakery. (I’m too tired/busy to bake lately.)

The other guy, who’s never tattooed me, starts in to this other client, “Oh, she’s the BEST client. She always brings food.”

I asked Ryan what he’d like next time as a treat. He said, “Oh,…[Read more]

Today is the day. I put on nice underwear and being the hygiene freak, scrubbed down like I was going into surgery. Then went insane with three kinds of deodorant. I moisturized with Aveeno sensitive skin no scent baby lotion, and now I have to go to the dentist, get a facial, and grab something to eat before he works his magic.

This is the…[Read more]

For me it’s onto more detail work and connecting the pieces together. I’ve got a hell of a lot of loose ends.

That’s one reason I like a lot of work by the same artist. He’s consciously or subconsciously tied a lot together despite very different themes.

Or maybe you’re right and tipping them in food works better.

That’s very cool of you to post pictures of the processes.

That’s really cool about the matching tattoos – When I have a kid and s/he gets old enough, I hope they’ll agree to matching tattoos. Welcome. 🙂

Roughly, the plan goes like this:

Pin-up on my right side by Barrett if he’ll agree to it around Xmas.

Then after awhile a wolf on my right hip by Ryan.

Then fix up the old cherry blossom with a koi.

Still want to to the dagger, but I’m in less of a hurry and want to work on other spots.

There’s going to be lots of good stuff to look at and critique, was my meaning. So post your pics, ‘cuz I’m gonna post mine.

Bossy thing, ain’t she? :p

(Yes, ma’am. I’ll post my pics tomorrow.)

If it’s the forum I think it is, it’s really more of a clique.

Don’t take offense. And tomorrow I get my thighs done.

Yay?

Now I want lobster.

Christ, you people don’t know the meaning of hunger/heartache.
