April In PENTICTON

I am still figuring out how this blog works, so this post starts from the end of the trip to the beginning. oops

Slowly I am filling the shop with prints and flash. This is the first SET to go up, provided by Shawn O'connor during his week in penticton. Shawn is also going to start making semi-regular trips to penticton, so if you would like to get tattooed from him, DONT SLEEP ON IT! his trips book up fast! shawnoconnor.ca

glen sat 4.5hrs for his second sitting and we got just about all the black and grey done, I had fun using a LARGE needle grouping on this one to fill the big wind bars in a soft manner. I am definately hoping to do more projects like this in the future!
Jen, is Glens wife, we finished up her ribs just in time to get his sleeve going. I have a feeling they will be piggy backing projects as Jen is already talking about doing a 3/4 sleeve once Glen is finished. Her flowers flow nicely and Im happy how everything came together. Thanks Jen!
Spence came back once again for another EPIC piece. im so stoked on this one, as this was actually my idea for a tattoo that she got. I have a slight fascination with roses and skulls/horns lately, I have a feeling you will see more...
Its a tight squeeze, but we made it work. Shawn was working on his client from vancouver, while i was finishing up a section of a large piece on my sister. I think, its time to do some changes with the studio as shawn and I will be planning trips like this more often then few.
