Oh so hard to choose just 1. I guess right now I’d say Blutengel. German band but all of their music is awesome!

My trick is to always eat before I go to my session. I usually bring some sort of drink and snack with me when we take breaks. I don’t take any sort of pain killers or anything before the tattoo either, I’ll usually wait til later after it’s been done and that’s only if need be. My pain tolerance is decent thankfully so it’s not to bad for me.…[Read more]

Glad to say I’m starting to get back into the swing of things. Hoping to at least start posting once a week at least just to get back into it. I managed to get a new post up last night so it’s a start

I have never, ever dealt with any sort of infection on any of my tattoos. I know with one of my tattoos on my calf it got real swollen and red and it did get me worried. I ended up wearing the baggiest pants I could find whenever I was at work or wore capris and then when I was at home I would wear sweat pants and roll that pant leg up and safety…[Read more]

yeah, I’ve been thinking a bit, and I think I’ll be heading for a new traditional style.
Maybe add a large skull, more flowers, maybe an animal skull for a large lower back piece, and transition it upwards with a couple different elements..
I know the perfect artist for it, too. I need to go see my girl this week and see…

The only thing I could think of is adding some sort of background behind her to where it goes from shoulder to shoulder. Like I said, regardless of who you get to do it, maybe ask for their opinions and ideas.

So yesterday not only did I add another guy to my wishlist, but I sent him a note asking if he will be on the West Coast of Canada next year. (When I might have some money. Maybe.)

I couldn’t help it, I can’t believe the work that he is doing. And the pic he posted yesterday just BLEW ME AWAY. Seunghyun Jo. Just…

Sorry about your loss. You can’t put a time limit on grief, it takes the time it needs, rushing it will only make it worse longterm.. Hope it’s not putting you down too much and that you’re left with good memories.

And fyi I notified you about the artist behind one of the tattoos you posted a long long long time ago now,…

Who would’ve thought that the mention of Kat Von D on my list of people I’d like to get tattooed by would bring on the subject of Nazis and Hitler. Oh the joys of going off topic!

If anyone wishes to know what happened, I did write some sort of a blog about it. The entry is called “Journey Home”. It mostly features a Photomanipulation I did that my uncle probably would have loved. It’s a long story but it explains everything, that’s if anyone is interested in what happened. Here is the link to the entry itself:

Love, Love, Love this band even though I don’t understand German. I’ve been addicted to this song for the last two years it seems lol

I’m more offended by kat Von d than den lol

I like her work hence why I wouldn’t mind getting tattooed by her even if it was something small

I am so sorry for your loss. It will take time to grieve and then to heal. And then your interests will come back, that spark that has been missing. Don’t worry that it isn’t there right now.

He passed the end of July and it’s still no better. I was doing good at writing almost every day and now I’m lucky if I write…[Read more]

My blog has been so lame lately. Since the death of my uncle and everything else going on I just can’t get back into it and I love writing.

I love that piece of yours. Been debating about getting a Day of the Dead girl myself but I’m unsure about it as of yet. You’ve got plenty of room though to extend it but it’s definitely a tough thought as to what to incorporate with it. I know when I’m feeling stuck I go to my artist and see what sort of ideas he can come up with. He helped me…[Read more]

So my list in no particular order is as follows. I’m sure there are others but I can’t think of them right now lol

Roman Abrego
Teresa Sharpe
Dmitry Samohin
Victor Portugal
Kat Von D
Corey Miller
DJ Tambe
Sarah Miller
Nikko Hurtado
Tim Kern
Benjamin Laukis
Paul Acker
Rich Pineda

Nothing new planned for me until after the first of the year. While I’ve got money, gotta take care of family for the holidays. Not sure on my next piece yet anyway so it gives me time to think!

It’s only been a week since I’ve had this completed and I tell you I’m already looking for my newest tattoo design. Unfortunately it won’t be anything until after the first of the year due to the Holidays creeping up quickly. I love this addiction!

Piss dog straight up that is looking nice

Thanks! I’ll post pictures of it in it’s entirety once it’s all healed up. Almost done peeling and it’s already been a week

Congrats! It is not my style at all, but there are many pieces of it that I quite like.

It looks really good and it must be nice to be showing it off now that it is finished. You are going to be excited next year when tank top season arrives, that’s for sure!

I wear tank tops all year around, doesn’t matter what…[Read more]
