New client!

She found me thru craigslist, wanted this symbol on her wrist. Pretty cool! It's called Cho ku rei from reiki for good health.

Sunflower done!

Added final color and shading to the center, with highlights to the seeds, per clients request. Petals needed some touch up. Took another three hours total. She's a rock! Looks great!

More to come. Remember, this is the start of a large back piece down the left side...

Walk in

Got my first walk in client, Saturday! Client wanted a name on her lower back with a heart.

I've been told font is difficult, I was a little nervous, but I think it came out pretty well!

Forgot to take a pic before covering it with vaseline...

NO PHONE

Half way to work, I realize I forgot my phone at home!  Funny thing is, my trips to the bathroom weren't as long as usual...

Seeing Stars!

Another new client also wanted to add to a previous tattoo. A trail of stars from her lower back to behind her ear. Ran out of time to do the ones behind ear. Placed each star individually! She really liked it! 

She is on the fence about doing the ones behind the ear, or filling in some of them. We'll see at her next appt in two weeks...

New client

My first client, outside of family, wanted vines and flowers added to a previous tattoo. She also didn't like the tail ending on the hummingbird. Using a reference she brought in, and with some help from the instructor, we came up with this, a cover-up. Client also had a limited budget, $40.

I stenciled the main elements, flower and leaves, instructor connected them with vines, free-handed on the client!

I like the color of the leaves, they look curved.

Volunteering

At Habitat for Humanity. Indoor finishing work, I'm caulking at the moment. Fun! Getting paint and caulk all over me. And getting paid by my company to volunteer. Sweet!

Yep, I could play with caulk all day long!
