After a lousy week due to the hurricane, this week was a lot more interesting. I turned 41, for one thing, which wasn’t my favorite thing. It was one thing to have to say I was 40. It’s a whole other thing having to say that I’m “in my 40’s.” Le sigh. But I got to do a few fun tattoos and I wasn’t bored out of my skull while stuck at home waiting for the storm to kill me. First up was this trio of tattoos a yoga practitioner requested:
The customer wanted 2 foxes coming out of a tunnel that was also a mandala, so…
I wish I had taken a photo from farther away because this was on the customer’s sternum, and it just looked so damn good there!
For sisters whose mom calls them ladybugs.
Didn’t get the story behind why he wanted a broken heart, especially when he came in with his girlfriend, but this is his first tattoo.
The 7th tattoo I’ve given my friend Bonnie. She’s got a nautical theme going on both of her thighs. Looking forward to seeing this once it has healed.
Rib cages are a pain in the ass to tattoo, just FYI, but this turned out pretty well, considering.
The Perks of Being an Artist 
Are rib cages as annoying as going up and around the curve of the breast? That’s where I want my next (and last) one.

That’s not as bad as lower down on the rib cage. The closer you get to the hips, the harder it is for the artist to stretch the skin. It’s all doable, of course, but since spots are harder than others.

Ahhh okies! Well I’m pretty squishy all over and I want it to follow my natural curve so that should be ok then! 😉 thanks
