I don’t actually know if it’s been a week, or two weeks, or what. Life is a blur. Not because I’ve been doing anything particularly exciting. Mostly just because I must have traded brains with a goldfish at some point in a drunken stupor. Bourbon. It’ll get you every time, amiright? Anyway, here are some more tattoos I’ve done in the last several days:

Let Your Light Shine…for her grandfather, who she called Poppy.

The sploof!! With a heart tail!

I love that the customer requested a snaggle tooth when I was designing this sea horse for him.

Memorial tattoo for her little sister.

A tattoo to commemorate her trip to Barcelona.

For a true Harry Pitter fan. She’s a Slitherin, by the way, so don’t mess with her.

I didn’t get a great, clear shot of this one, but here is Absalom, dropping some wisdom on yo’ ass.

I felt so bad for this customer. Look at the one on the left. A local tattoo shop owner did that one. The wings don’t even match each other. I was able to even them up a bit and make it more dynamic, but there wasn’t anything I could do about the fuzzy antennae.

Notice that I’ve totally ditched the word “weekly” in the title. It’s 2019. Time for more realistic expectations, and realistically, based on past history, I’m not going to manage weekly tattoo wrap-ups. So here are the tattoos that I closed out the year with:

Aaahhh, bull. Looking forward to seeing this one healed so that the lighter grays are easier to distinguish.

Fairly self-explanatory.

I actually did 2 of these for a brother/sister duo.

Follow your arrow wherever it points.

I love this one. The customer had part of his liver removed, so he’s been “de-livered.”

This one and the one below were to memorialize their rescued greyhound.

The numbers were tattooed in the ears of the actual dog.

As a surprise for his wife.

raven, timepiece trashpolka - Foster Nethercott_compressed

This customer is going for a good vs. evil theme. The other shoulder has a dove and a rose and a beautiful time piece. For this side, we’re going more trash polka.

This is to remind himself of the story of the little boy walking on the beach and throwing starfish back into the ocean. If you don’t know it, look it up.

I’m so glad the customer decided not to add color to this one. His original plan was to include color in the tiger, but I love it as a black and gray tattoo.

tree with Maine in roots - Austin Merando

The space in the roots is Maine.

Just a lovely little watercolor yin yang.

No story here, just a nice tattoo.

Cute little own.

And that’s it for 2018!! It’s been a long, crazy year, but I’ve learned so much – mostly that I love calf and forearm skin. So good for tattooing.

I had several memorial tattoos this week, which was pretty cool. It’s a really special thing to be part of helping people heal by documenting a loved one’s special role in their life. I commemorated everything from grandparents, to parents, to pets this week, including one guy who wanted his dog’s tooth mark (from when it bit him) tattooed on to look like a mole. I also got to help people document the latest phase of their lives and remind themselves of who they want to be going forward. And in between, I got to watch several pairs of sisters come in, and it was a blast watching them crack each other up and support each other through the pain of getting a tattoo. Aside from a couple people who I realized part way through tattooing were actually drunk and/or highly unstable, all in all, it was a good week. So with all of that in mind, here’s this week’s tattoo wrap-up:

I did a few tattoos this last week or so that I’m pretty happy with. I might have even danced a jig after the giraffe one. But there’s no video evidence, so I get to pretend I’m not that big of a dork. Thought you’d enjoy seeing some of my favorites:

It’s official. I LOOOOOOOVE tattooing realistic animals and tattooing other stuff in the style that looks like a sketch. Love love love it. Love. It.
