Lucky #13, y’all. It’s still been pretty slow at the tattoo studio, but things have picked up at least a little bit. Most of the tattoos I did the last couple weeks weren’t all that interesting to anyone other than the people getting them, but here are some highlights. My favorite of the week was my last one of the week. I really wanted some practice at realism tattooing, so I posted an image on Facebook and asked my friends if anyone would let me play on them, you know, with ink…permanently. And crazy people that my friends are, I had someone say yes. So here’s what she got:

Realist rose - Taylor Honeycutt_compressed

abrams tank sprocket - Jenna Guerra_compressed

This customer is married to a tanker in the military

anchor with birds - Jenna Guerra_compressed

No story behind this one that I know of, but it looks pretty cool, so I’m posting it.

feather and infinity name - Juana

Hailey is the customer’s daughter.

Kensey - hats and letters_compressed

This one is in honor of the customer’s favorite anime show.

Ollie Upperman - turtle and flower

I wish I had a better pic of this one so you could see all the delicate stippling in the skin and the flower, but it’s still cute.

puerto rican rose

For her heritage.

wings and cross

Didn’t get the store behind this one. Sorry.

Train & compass - Drew Easley_compressed

My second favorite of the week. My instructions were to design a train coming out of a compass like a tunnel. Since my dad was such a train buff, I really enjoyed doing this one.

Weekly Tattoo Wrap-up #5

Tags

anchor tattoo, aperture tattoo, celtic arm band, cloud tattoo, Emily Page tattoo, full back piece, hummingbird tattoo, joan of arc, lioness tattoo, mandala lotus, mother teresa, MS ribbon tattoo, poison dart frog tattoo, raleigh tattoo, Ratatat Tats, saint cecilia, saint tattooes, st. joseph, tattoo of saint

It’s been a couple weeks since my last “weekly” tattoo wrap-up. My apologies. I’ll make up for it with extra pics this week of the truly WIDE array of requests and styles I’ve encountered over the last few weeks:

St. Joseph - Gary Hartman_compressed

Okay, so you’re really not supposed to do tattoos like this, because there aren’t hard edges, so it won’t hold up over time, but the customer insisted, so…

mandala lotus_compressed

No real story behind this one, but ain’t she purty?

hummingbirds mother daughter_compressed

Mother-daughter tattoos! See the word “mom” in the wing on the bird on the left? That’s for the grandmother. So really, they’re grandmother-mother-daughter tattoos.

focus - Audrey_compressed

For my photographer friend: a camera aperture and an excellent reminder of what it helps her do.

celtic arm band - Steve Dubrois_compressed

This customer decided to get his and his wife’s astrological signs worked into an arm band.

lioness - Kaitlyn Mars_compressed

For a woman owning her inner lionness.

Joan of Arc - Gary Hartman healed_compressed

The same guy that got the St. Joseph’s tattoo (the first one on here) really like saints, so we added a Joan of Arc.

 

 

Diana Millis touch up 1_compressed
Diana Davis sunflower and dogwood_compressed

I forgot to take a pic before I started updating this ancient, faded tattoo, but I did stop after I added the dogwood and started re-outlining the sunflower to snap a photo. So you can kind of see a before and after.

Elizabeth Arnold_compressed

One of the coolest things about this job is that people I knew from middle school and high school have traveled to get tattoos from me!

anchor-leslie-robb_compressed.jpg

I love customers who tell me what subject matter they want but leave the style up to me!

skeleton key and flowers - Chessa Concari_compressed

My biggest piece yet. And she wants to add more. Squee! What’s extra awesome is that, if you’re going to spend long hours with someone, you hope it’s going to be a cool someone, and this girl is.

St. Cecilia - Gary_compressed

For the same customer who loves saints: Saint Cecilia. He’s a challenge to tattoo because he’s very animated and moves around a lot while you’re tattooing, so getting clean lines is TOUGH.

storm cloud - Becky Dawson_compressed

I just love this concept. She wants to add another storm cloud up and over the shoulder.

Mother Theresa_compressed

Yup, you guessed it. Mother Teresa for the saint-loving customer. Looking forward to getting a better pic once it’s healed.

Poison dart frog - Megan Coulson_compressed

A poison dart frog, but with the colors reversed because the customer likes blue.

MS ribbons - mark, lisa, erin, adam_compressed

And my favorite from the last couple weeks: the woman in the gray shirt has MS. She also has a couple other tattoos. The other 3 people do not have MS or any other tattoos. But when she said she wanted to get an orange MS ribbon, they all jumped on board and got one in her honor. Sometimes I really love people.
