If a bare bottom is NSFW....

...you probably have a sucky job.

Anyone who's been in the shop since November has seen the statue stencil hanging up in my station.
I started the tattoo way back then,
and posted about it here.
We didn't work on it for a few months,
which only made me more anxious to work on it again,
but we hammered out a few sessions in a row recently to get it done.
And today Hannah and I met up to take some (almost completely) healed photos.




















































(the photos get bigger if you click on them, of course)

A big thank you goes out to Hannah,
she was so tough, and sat so well,
and made the whole process super fun and easy.

Back at it.

Hannah came to me with a 10 line poem she wanted tattooed on her,
and wanted some images to go with it.
Somehow, we started an entire half-back-onto-butt piece,
and still didn't even put the words in there.
We're going to have to do it in a bunch of sittings,
but I'm really excited about it.
I wanted to show the beginnings,
and I'll post some progress shots along the way.
(it's a statue with morning glories climbing up it)




It's nice being back at Identity Tattoo,
with things like arm rests, and lights,
and a photocopier that has sizing options.
Conventions are fun and terrible at the same time.
I'll be in the shop all of November,
and have plenty of openings.
Just let me know.
