Latest from the crypt!
Halloween rocked we should have it more often, in fact everyday should be the day of the dead so bring on the Zombies!
Halloween was crazy this year and I got to meet some really cool peeps while out and about in Brighton. At the expense of the quality of my skin I decided to go all out this year and totally cover my face and chest in makeup – I even scared myself more than I usually do when looking at myself in the mirror in the mornings!
In the past few weeks we got round to completing Davey’s (Judas James Wright) arm dragon based on the Ouroboros concept of the circle of life.
Next I added to Steve Jenner’s back tattoo to ‘straighten it up’ a little. When his original tattoo was done about 10 years ago the tattoo artist didn’t line it up straight so after discussing it with Steve we went for a simple old school banner around it to give the idea that it was meant to be a little off balance so that the banner was horizontal rather than the symbols.
After the introduction through Vickie Jenner, Amy Packman contacted me to arrange to have her boyfriend; Alex Maverick Moffat, tattooed. He wanted the word ‘Estas’ tattooed on his arm. Estas in Latin means Summer which is the name of his daughter.
Luke O’Connell came back last week to have his lettering filled in so now he has a completed tattoo on his ribs and is onto planning his next one.
I have also tattooed Gavin again – finally! I draw up a sugar skull design for him a few weeks ago but only just found the time to get him under the needle again. We did it quite late in the day and so didn’t try to get a decent photo of it straight away and so here is one from a distance. A close up photo will go up once it’s healed.
Jess Foreman is going to be back in the tattoo chair at some point this week for two swallows extending her arm piece, one pink and one blue and next weekend is looking pretty busy with a few other tattoos lined up.
Until then I leave you with this great quote as heard on Being Erica: Labels are for coke cans, not people!
