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.

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.

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.

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.
