=SOME OF THE PAST WEEK=

SOME STUFF THAT WENT DOWN IN THE PAST WEEK...

MY GOOD FRIEND BETH ROLLED THROUGH TO PICK UP ON SOME TATTOO WORK THAT WE STARTED A YEAR AGO (!)... GOOD TIMES. PICS WILL COME WHEN IT'S ALL FINISHED... WE ALSO DID HER FINGER-TIP THAT YOU SEE ABOVE, WHICH IS THE SECOND TIME WE'VE TATTOOED THIS... THE FIRST TIME IT STAYED FOR AN AMAZING 2 OR 3 MONTHS!!! LETS SEE HOW LONG THIS ONE LASTS...

 

ABOVE: THIS IS ONE I DID FOR HER A LONG TIME AGO AND IS STILL AN ALL-TIME FAVE. I NEVER PUT UP A PIC OF IT SO I SNAPPED ONE WHILE WE HUNG OUT. I AM THE BIKE-TATTOO GUY... BUT I AM ALSO THE UNICORN KING. U-TANG CLAN AINT NOTHIN' TO FOX WIT!!!

 

THESE TWO IMAGES (ABOVE & BELOW) ARE CONTINUING WORK ON DEREK'S TRAD-SLEEVE... MY FAVORITE THING TO TATTOO, OTHER THAN BIKE STUFF, IS THESE FACES... I PAINT ALOT OF THEM AND TATTOOS COME OUT BRILLIANTLY! I DON'T GET TO DO MANY IMAGES OF MEN... GUESS I SHOULD DRAW SOME UP TO SHOW THE OTHER SIDE OF THINGS, EH? WELL DONE DEREK... CAN'T WAIT TO FINISH HER!

 

BELOW IS A SET OF 'BFF' TATTOOS THAT I DID FOR OUR HAIR-SALON OWNER KESHIA AND HER GIRL JOCELYN. I THINK THE TATTOOS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

=THE WEEK IN REVIEW=

ABOVE: LACEY CAME DOWN FROM WASHINGTON AND GOT THIS CREEPY KID.

BELOW: CORY WASN'T HAPPY WITH THE CORN AND EGGPLANT HE HAD ON HIS THIGH, SO WE DECIDED THERE WAS ONLY ONE APPROPRIATE SOLUTION... THE CIRCUS BEAR. 3 STEPS OF HIS COVER-UP ARE SHOWN. ONE MORE SESSION AND WE'LL FINISH ALL THE COLOR AND BACKGROUND. HOLLER AT YER BEAR.

 

BELOW: SOME SEQUENCE SHOTS OF ROB'S FULL SLEEVE (AND FIRST TATTOO EVER!)'S PROGRESS. HE SAT GREAT, BUT HE DIDN'T LIKE THE FEELING TOO MUCH OF SCRUBBIN IT UP AFTER OUR SESH.

 

WE ADDED THE BLUE BUTTERFLY FOR EL SEGUNDO AND SOME MORE FLORAL JOINTS, FILLING OUT HIS INNER N OUTER ELBOW AREA... THEN WENT IN TO ADDING THE COLOR.

 

WE MADE MAD PROGRESS, AND WE MAY ONLY HAVE ONE MORE ROUND LEFT TO FINISH IT OFF. GOOD WORK ROB!
