This post requires we revisit 2010 which was a pretty big deal to me. You see, it was my first experience being tattooed at a Tattoo Convention. I absolutely loved it. There’s nothing more amazing than being surrounded by an artistic and creative community while getting tattooed. While sitting there tons of people with different background, interests and stories to tell pass by.
This is me having the outline and shading of a Peacock tattooed on me.
This tattoo has special meaning for me and it’s dedicated to my Mother.
The tattoo is heavily influenced by traditional tattoo styling.
Here it is complete. At this point I had no idea when I would get color added.
At home, all wrapped up.
A year later – same Tattoo Convention, same tattoo artist and same tattoo!
Before – the outline/shading all healed up and ready for color…
I love tattooing SO much I’m actually sad when it’s over…
I always take pics of the colors.

Me watching…
Ivan got an awesome photo of the needles in action…check that out!
A little soda break…blue green done.

I love Mikal! She works at New Rose Tattoo.
Along with amazing talent she has a great sense of humor, impeccable musical tastes and a huge heart.
I could say “The End” but that would be a lie.
I will continue tattooing my beautiful body.
Tattooing is one of my favorite forms of self-expression and vessels for communicating what lies beneath my skin.
I would LOVE to hear about your tattoos! Any special meaning? New ones you are saving for?

Instead of carving we drilled out holes! Marko loved it!
We had to do lots of dry ice experiments. This one was a big hit!
