Working on my own calf tattoos

Drew the screaming possum without a stencil (upside down!!)

Next morning I colored the base colors in. I'm going to let this heal a few weeks before I do anything else to it.

Did my linework without a stencil also.  

This is the design as looking from the back.  I skipped the wind bars, which I wasn't sure I liked and instead added the screaming Opossum, which I think is fucking adorable.

Painting a tattoo supply cart


I had this wood box that was made into a chow-box for camping.  It has sat here in the living room for a while and wasn't being used much, so I decided to take it over for tattoo supplies.  It's been getting a make over with old oil based paints. 

Final form after cute little gears were glued on.

Drawing with a bugpin on fake skin


Doing a little black and white realism.  Looks like a Hapsburg LOL

 

Tiny bugpin tattoos



I can't wait to see how the white ink clover heals up. Right now it looks weird from the swelling and redness of blood in it.




 

Serotonin and Dopamine Tattoo


Eric's Serotonin and Dopamine tattoo has been colored in. He took a marker to it to denote the double bonds and what the chemicals are. He wants the lettering next. I personally like it without.  Very happy with the colors.
