Been awhile since i've last posted..as it's been a week since i did my last tattoo. It's been pretty slow for me as of late with getting appointments, due to a few changes. Hopefully things will pick back up soon :) I did two tattoos today, the first i didn't use a liner whatsoever, just a 7 mag. The second i used a liner for the harley shield, and a 7 mag for the skull. Im trying to work more on my light sourcing..i see a few mistakes i made now, looking back at them, but i'll get the hang of it. The buddah is a shitty picture.. I couldn't seem to take one that did it any justice at all. Ron got to see it in person, and he said it looked good. So we'll see.

Enjoy.

Tried something new today with this one. No black outline. Im pretty happy with it, and so was the client ;D ;D ;D Too bad she was super tan so the lighter colors weren't as bright as i would of liked them to be, but all in all im happy :)

For some reason i thought i posted these pictures saturday, but looking at my blog i guess i didn't. I had three appointments on saturday, one was a rubber duckie, another was a USDA PRIME stamp on a mans butt (yes, really, haha) and a butterfly.

I only have two pictures here, as i forgot to take a photograph of the ass tattoo. It was actually really fun, haha! he had a pretty good sense of humor. anywho, his wife got the rubber duck. That one was definitely a new experience. It was like the second the needle touched her, she started to swell up. So i took the knowledge that my boss gave me way back when i first started, and got in and out as fast as i could while still giving her a clean tattoo (or at least trying to anyway). Here's the pictures of the butterfly and the rubber duck.

Here's a few more tattoo's that i've done recently. The kanji is the final one for the kid's set of three that i've done, and the second rose is on the same woman who i did the first one on, this is just on the opposite side of her chest. The bee was fun to do, although the gray top half of the bee is driving me nuts, as i should of one more with it, i think all in all its not bad. I tried to be a little bit creative with it, and try something new. The mom and dad was on a young womans wrists, obviously noticeable from the picture, lol. Im not happy with the dad one, as i made the lines too fat in that last d, and tried to blend it a bit more by bolding the other letters a bit more. I could of done a better job, but i was worried about just continuing effing it up and the letters just becoming block letters.

Enjoy.

Today was a very good day. Did this little butterfly tattoo on the woman I did the second witch hat on. She's a lot of fun to work with. She originally wanted to get this teddy bear tattoo, but she decided against it last minute and we went with the butterfly instead. Enjoy!

Here's a few more tattoos ive done recently. I'm getting better at blending my colors more smoothly, less abruptly. The Rose was fun to do, as it was the first flower i've actually done during this apprenticeship. I'm surprised at that actually, that i hadn't gotten more "i want a flower" requests, lol. The lettering on the wrist was a change of pace, as all the lettering I've done so far has been VERY basic. I used a 5 liner, to try and get the areas that went from fat to thin easier. The witch hat was on the best friends foot of the one i did a few days ago. She wanted purples and pinks instead of the blues. Im not nearly as happy with this one as i am the first one, as i didn't get to shade as much as i wanted to around that swirl hook type deal at the bottom (she'd had enough) So she's coming in again at some point for something else, and im going to finish it then.
