Inkasaurus....

In case you haven't figured it out, I've been quite busy. Here is some recent work I've completed, as well as some pieces that are still in progress.

This first one has been a work in progress for a few months now. It is a huge thigh piece I began on a friend, and a few session still to come. In case it is hard for you to make out, this tattoo is an anatomical heart with a banner wrapping around it. It is going to be very colorful, so it is taking us a while to get it finished. I have limited time to work on tattoos right now, but this summer I plan on making tattooing my main priority. I have several clients very patiently awaiting my availability, and I thank them greatly for their perseverance. My friend is really wanting to get this one finished up, so as soon as I do, more pics will follow.

This tattoo may look familiar, as it is the piece I started for my sis. The first picture of this tat can be found in the post before this one. It shows just the basic outline prior to adding color, as seen below. I love my sisters enthusiasm and spontaneity for her tattoos. We literally decide to start on new pieces for her at very random times and just kind of decided where to take it as we go. The coolest part about that is the tattoo always seems to fit her so well. I really enjoy working with her and feel very honored to be her main source for body art. I am certain you will see more of her tattoos in the future.

I have to apologize for this next photos appearance. I promise you my brothers skin is not really this color....that would be disturbing. This is a tattoo project in the works for several months now, mainly planning and coming up with creative ideas for an entire sleeve. As I mentioned before, this is my brothers tat. It is only the beginning of his sleeve, so a lot of work still to come, but I am very excited to finally get started on it, and so is my bro. My fam is getting the hook up! Not really fair.....I still have to go somewhere to get my work done. Unless of course, it is on my legs.......

.....like this! Yes, I worked on my tat a bit last weekend. I was just really in the mood to get some more ink. I am around tattoos all the time, and never have the opportunity to get my own. I didn't do a whole lot, but I did add some shading to the original tattoo, and added more outline above the piece. I did the new outline stuff completely free hand, which was amazing. I hate tracing. Always have, even as a kid. Getting to grab the gun and go crazy was thrilling. *Ahem.....TATTOO gun, that is....*

PS

Dad, if you see these pics.....yes, I "drew" on myself again. And, YES, those are my legs, despite what you may think. The last time you saw them, I must have been 9, so obviously I haven't maintained sticks as limbs over the years. I filled out. A lot. And discovered that I possibly have some sort of genetic disorder morphed by dinosaurs. I admit my legs have that "prehistoric reptilian" look. Shut up, its true.
