036

Date: July 25, 2009
Tattoo: Custom design, cute notes singing, one smiling

Was FUN. I want to color more. Filling in with color completely, rather than leave any skin tone, makes it SO much better.

030

Date: July 8th, 2009

Was taken just a week ago. 2 weeks after the date above (the day I actually did it). Will retake picture once healed and I go back over some spots to darken. Hopefully I'll have my replacement camera by then.

Unfortunately, will always be the tattoo that marked the day I got robbed of so much artwork. Que sera sera. Moving on....

033-035

033

location: finger

034

location: wrist

035

location: left hip

Date: July 28, 2009

Hate flash, like script. Horrible pictures of the Los Angeles one.

032

Date: July 12, 2009
Tattoo: Custom "evil" and "good" wings
Location: Back of upper arm (Left is "evil", right is "good")
Needle: 7RL and 13M

Tattoo 030 and 031 have to be re-shoot; as I lost all my equipment and a majority of my artwork in a recent robbery.

015 | finished

Date: 6/27/09
Tattoo: $100 US bills coming out from a slit in his arm (custom drawn based on a design from his friend)
Needle: 9m
Wip

I believe I fixed the shading up better. But again, will see for sure when it heals.

029

Date: 6/26/09
Tattoo: B*A*S (scripted by his friend)

028

Date: 6/24/09 (line work) 6/25/09 (shade)
Tattoo: Custom evil and sad clown masks.

I did the line work the day before. When he came in the next day, it looked weird like I went too deep. But I swear I only went as deep as I usually go, which isn't deep at all. Guess I'll see when it heals. And I swear they appeared to have more depth in person after I finished. Again, guess I'll see when it heals.

Line work:

026 [first cover] - 027

027

Date: June 22, 2009
Tattoo: Dedication | Determination | Elevation
Location: Right under arm | Chest | Left under arm

He wanted it filled in. I wanted to finish it. But he decided to save that part for another day.

026 | first cover | wip

I forgot to take a picture of it before starting. I remember just as I started covering it.

Date: June 22, 2009
Tattoo: Custom Mario (nintendo) bomb, freehanded on skin.
Location: Right wrist

He'll return so I may feel in the smoke (lower left of feet), and make the shoes black (The red didn't show up on his skin very well ).

024-025

025

Date: 6|21|09
Tattoo: Arabic script, meaning "God"
Location: Left side back shoulder
Needle: 11M

Again, used water for grey wash. This was simple, but oh so fun, especially with my new love "cup of water" gray wash. I think I may have left it too light. But we'll see.

Need to take a better picture

024

Date: 6|21|09
Tattoo: "R" and "J" script
Location: Left side back of arm "R" | Right side back of arm "J"
Needle: 7RL | 11M

My first time using just a cup of water to make grey wash. I LOVE the cup of water technique. i do believe I found my prefered grey wash. Lays on so smooth and evenly.

But of course, I won't know for sure till it heals.

023

FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURE

Date: 6|20|09
Tattoo: II . VI . MMIX script
Location: Right side upper rib
Needle: 4RL | 5RS

Will update with picture at undisclosed time client may possibly return. This was a bit better than the first rib, but still tricky. Client keep noticing little niches that looked weird. She was right all three times.

But IM suppose to notice them before she does. I think I did, but for some reason...my mind was just blank. I hate slipping up in my professionalism. She had two other friends I was suppose to do. But they said they were tired (it was 12:30-1 am or so at this point) and will return the next day. As I thought, they did not come back.

022

Date: 6|18|09
Tattoo: "L" custom script
Location: Right side high upper thigh
Needle: 4RL | 5RS

021 | first rib

Date: 6|17|09
Tattoo: Jhoan script
Location: Right side rib
Needle: 7RL | 11M

Horrible linework, but can be fixed by filling it in. The guy was in pain with the shading, I doubt he would've have let me fill it in right then and there. At the begining...He was speaking on the phone. I now know that no talking is allowed when doing a rib.

So consider it wip.

The ribs are tricky, it was a surprise. But I really want to do another. I've looked closely at the other guys doing the rib since I did this, and I want to put into use what I've learned.
