Afterglow

I apologize to all my faithful readers for the break this past week. I have been on vacation and instead of basking in the afterglow of a relaxing vacation . . . I am reeling in the aftershock of arduous physical labor (NOT my forte). After a week of home renovation I sure am ready to slip on my comfy tattoo shop back on! So Today, the last day of vacation, I have been working on getting my “game face” back on.

I will be working on a few projects on myself this summer. I have started a half back piece from Thomas Harris (our newest artist) and although the line work and black and grey is finished, we are going full crazy color bomb on it! Color work is mostly new for me to be wearing as I have always gotten black and grey but I have what I like to call “lucky skin” and take color really well. I learned this when I got my first color piece by Rob Anastasia, another one of our artists. I am really looking forward to finishing this and . . . well . . . who knows, maybe it’ll end up a full sized coloring book?

In addition to this I have some ideas for behind my ears and along my hairline, as well as finally finishing the bottom halves of my arms. Looks like I will have a super busy summer ahead of me!
