I wish I could say it’s been a hot minute since I last posted, but let’s be honest, a large portion of the country is in the grips of this polar vortex thing and it’s been damn cold out. I’m permanently cold, but when I tattoo I tend to overheat. Luckily, it’s been pretty busy at the studio the last couple weeks so I’ve stayed toasty and warm. Here are the highlights:

Super proud of this one. This was the winner of a holiday giveaway I did.

filigree-carolynwilborn

A little in love with this one, too. It’s something I could even envision on myself.

This one has sad story behind it. The customer got it because her son was shot and killed recently. After getting approval from the health department, we added some of his ashes to the ink so she’ll always have him with her.

A very cheerful cover-up.

marshapresnell-jennette

It’s a symbol of inspiration for a woman on her 70th birthday.

How cute is this? The customer designed it herself.

Cute friendship tattoos.

symbol-jovihagenburg2

No story here, it’s just cute.

Same customer as the one above.

A couple came in and wanted different versions of a willow tree with their kids names/initials.

This is the other version of the willow.

The customer wanted her parents’ birth flowers for this pretty tattoo.

Had some fun tattoos this week. Got to do my first chest piece. The customer already had the wolf and moon, as well as the roman numerals, but he wanted to fill in the rest. So I added trees and clouds that blended into the clouds on his arm. I also added shading on the lower part of his pecs to give the illusion that he has a bigger and more chiseled chest. His comment: “I look like I’ve been going to the gym!”

Isaac - chest piece

Another new customer has very little open skin left to tattoo, but has “the itch” again, so we found a spot for this little gem. Get it? Little gem?

crystals - Amanda Bretz

The next one tugged on my heart strings and made me feel the feels. Of course.

daddy's little girl - Brittney Thompson

And my favorite of the week was a walk-in who wanted a bear, an octopus, or something Star Wars-y. So I showed him some of my watercolors and he opted to go with the octopus and add a watercolor background. I have to admit, I’m proud of this one. I really love doing this style, so I hope I get more requests for stuff like this.

Octopus - Matt Onley
