cheery season!

well as the holidays draw closer, so do all the larger projects it seems.

this holiday season so far i have been blessed with a new workload of larger projects.

As i start them i will post what i can and update as the progress goes on.

spence had got a cpl hrs of holiday cheer to her half sleeve;

... the day before i started jenelle's backpiece, she sat like a rock for 6hrs!

Kelowna!!

After almost two years now of working solo, i have decided its time i needed some time working along side some other artists again.
Starting Nov `09 i will be working at Shinobi Studios in kelowna. They are a good, legit crew that are as much in love with tattooing as myself. They are all multi talented artists that i am looking forward to getting some inspiration from.

Shinobi is located at 273bernard ave, kelowna BC. where i will be working thursdays through saturdays every week.

japanese week

mandy was in at the end of the week to get her panda started. again, 2hrs of hip/ribs fun.

michaela was also in with a custom kanji refrence that we elaborated on. (im pretty sure she was alseep from the moment i started tattooing her) 2.5hrs start to finnish. i think this might be the start of a backpiece for her....

Jennifer was kind enough to come down from Fort St. John to get her tattoo finnished. we did the outline and colored the bottom lotus my last trip north, this time around we colored the top lotus and Lil pad along with the water. 2 hrs of fun ;)

first days of my new schedual

for the first year at my studio i tried to keep my appointments to one a day. i enjoyed the relaxed feel of casually getting to the studio tattooing for a few hours then riding my bike around till the sun went down.

i have now decided i waste too much time in my days and now take on two, 3 hour appointments. this was my first day.

first travis sat like a rock for 2.5 hours . most of the shading was completed. next session we'll add the rest of the sleeve line work as he has decided to go full instead of 3/4.

tyler likes to get tattooed for about 2.5 hrs, so we got all the background of his sleeve done.

i think we had a good day at the studio.

goodbye facebook - hello BLOGSPOT

thats really about it.

now im going to try to spend some serious time figureing out how this works... exticed tho!
