I did two on the ribs and it was bad enough. Kudos to you.

It’s a cool, unique idea. And I personally promise God’s not freaking out about your tattoo of Moses. The Guy’s omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. It’s fine.

Baby, I always don my PPE before I get down.

Ryan sent me a text (waking me up, along with a wailing cat whose blanket had slipped off her body) and he said we can do it this month. He has really good anatomical and infectious disease knowledge for a tattoo artist (not downing most, but his…[Read more]

Here is the thing; Yes, a lot of people have finger/knuckle tattoos. Knuckle tattoos don’t necessarily need too much touch ups, finger tattoos do. Most knuckle and ankle tattoos can stand for years and years. Totally depends.
And; A lot of people have stopped doing finger tattoos. Rihanna and those damn mustache tattoos…

If getting tattooed in the exact same spot, you need to let it rest for a little bit. Usually three weeks is plenty. (f.ex if you do lines + shading one session, color another..)

But different spots? Whenever you feel up for it. I see no reason whatsoever to do six weeks between different tattoos..
Except maybe if it’s…

Uhh. You can get tattooed as often as you like. Lol. Its your body.
I had some stretch marks tattooed over on my bicep and it looked rough for a while. The stretch marks actually swell. But once its all healed you won’t be able to see them.

I meant in terms of standard infection control, and the healing process, ya Ding…[Read more]

This Friday I take my mother shopping (my only off day) and she’s afraid of tattoo people (including me). However, I’ll get the new schedule on the same day and give Mr. Ryan a ring and tell him surely we can work something out. I really would feel better with this fixed.

We’re going from left side/hip to both inner thighs. I’m told the inner thighs will hurt less. (I guess they’re supposed to take a little damage based on our past savagery of mating.)

I just had the tiger done on the hip, and now I want some dark blue flowers to make it all inviting down there for someone.

At least there won’t be a lot of nurses asking stupid questions like there were when I worked at the Holy Spirit Hospital and attended mandatory classes on patient / co worker interaction. I worked BY MYSELF in the power plant.

It’s a little talking doggy from a cartoon. Not a beautiful flower. 😉 That’s why it’s on the bottom.

As for he being prettier than you… impossible. Not all men make good looking women, and that is not a good looking woman. Looks like a cheap prostitute.

The bottom of her foot looks tender and I suspect she takes good care of it. I despise wearing shoes (and other garments) and the bottom of my feet would not be a very good location for a tattoo.

Yep. Bunch of garbage, ain’t it?

On with the show. I gotta stay up late. I start on nights tomorrow. 🙁

Funny story: My aunt and I are talking today about my cousin, her oldest son, an architect. She sent me some of J’s hobbyist photographs, and that kid has talent. She said he’d be willing to do it for free if I’d help her and my elderly uncle visit the Grand Canyon now that I work this week on/week off thing.

We have some things to get…[Read more]

No big impact. Same old shit. Different day.

That would be the dermis, or second layer. Baby skin.

Don’t worry. It’ll heal in time. 🙂

I think non-monetary tips are fine. I usually mix and match – I give some cash, and bring donuts for the shop. There is nothing wrong with a non-cash tip. 🙂

Lucky kiddo. I’m hoping one day one of the greats will pop in Tennessee or neighboring Kentucky. Then I’ll just withdraw the money and eat it.

Six weeks is the magic number for healing. I won’t be starting my inner thigh work until that long, and I’ve decided to go dark and really cover those scars.

Well, I’m here on my butt until Wednesday, then back on my 16’s. So this is what people feel like when they’re rested. I can talk in sentences and stuff.
