Unicorn Eating Lightning

Today I did a little tattoo on the other girl that works at my shop, Jes. She really enjoyed this little piece of flash she saw in "Classic Flash in 5 Bold Colors"



It was really fun! We were giggling through the whole thing. I was still very nervous but I think I'm getting more confident in just sitting down and doing tattoos.

Starting to tattooooooo

So this next month, my boss Jason, is going on a little trip to Cali to see his family and work a bit. Not a huge deal but it will leave our shop without a tattooer... Jason had me do some little tattoos before his departure, just small stuff for friends of ours. Here are a few of the first ones I did for my friend Mika.





And, there are more on my flickr as always.


Jason thought my first few tattoos were good enough that he felt confident enough to leave me in the shop to do my own tattoos for that whole month!
Bring it...

Girls and Birds!

I painted some more flash a bit ago, just some little paintings. A couple of girls and some birds, I really enjoyed painting them. I need to do a few more of them. They're quick and make me happy. I've also started a new huge banger sheet. I'll post in when I'm through.







Things Have been very good with the apprenticeship, I've been working my ass off and it's been a good time. Learning a lot, and loving every minute of it.

hey look

more flash! yay!

New things I've been working on!

soo yeah it's been a little bit longer than I'd like. I have been working very hard, any many numerous projects, and here they are:

Battle Royal! (sorry for the not great photo)






And this one is probably my favorite, my little flapper.



Also I got tattooed by Mr. Brad Mariachi who was a guest artist at 323 Tattoos. Here is his fantastic little piece on me

Tattooooooo

So for my birthday last month, Jason gave me a new tattoo! Should have posted this a while ago.



I'll keep you posted on the progress of it. Check back soon!

323 Tattoo

Look what I got myself into at the shop yesterday :)






This is the sign I painted for the front door, not to bad for my first time painting on glass!

Okay, so it’s been a while

I’ve got nothing in the way of art going on right now. But soon! I am finally going on my “grand adventure” so there will be a lot more coming of me creatively. Tomorrow I’ll be moving into my new location, and thus to the new position of tattoo apprentice. Very exciting. And also making me incredibly nervous. But I just have to remember that I’m gonna be great at it. It’s going to be fun. It’s something I’m doing for me, not anyone else, for me. It’s been a long time coming. It feels like for the past 4 years, I’ve done hardly anything for myself. It really is time. I feel a change.

So yesterday I finished a dress I was working on. It went actually really fast and I am super happy with it. I wanted to make this dress after seeing some inspiration on the Anthropologie website. Gorgeous dress, a little pricey. So here's the dress they're selling.



Cute, right? For a total amount of $25, I made this:







With a few modifications, a different neck line, and a ribbon belt. Took about 3 and a half yards of cotton jersey, and a total of 6 packages of hem tape (navy ribbon).
I loved figuring out the circle skirt. I used this tutorial, http://andreatung.blogspot.com/2006/04/diy-circle-skirts.html

Sorry there was a bit of a break in there. Aaron and I took a little weekend trip to San Francisco. And before that I was still working on things, just not taking the time to do he blog thing.
I've mostly been working on more flash for Jason, and a bit of other things, doodling, sewing a backpack and a few other items of clothing.
The trip to SF was AMAZING. Had so much fun, took lots of pictures. You can go check them out on my Flickr.

Okay so now is time for the art
