NEW TATTOOS!

Nikki is a client from Craftsman that I started this sleeve on while working there. Lucky for both of us, she is from a small town just outside penticton and visits often. Nightmares she had about her elbow, so I saved it for her next trip.
Lexi has big plans to continue her cherry blossom branch up and across her back. So this was a nice start for her.
Greg had the best intentions to get his arm done all in a single session to prove his strength for his son, 7.5 hrs later, it was done.
Justin got this while back home visiting his friends and family, he's headed for the big time with his recent draft to Phenoix!!
Shannons first tattoo, cherry blossoms and forget me knots. First tattoos are always the easiest and the bigger the better, always!

Heres a taste of a summer in Penticton

We live in such a beautiful place, most of us can't wait to leave here after high school. Well I was no different. I have found my way home, and will never look back or forget the amazing experiences I have had in the past. HOWEVER, I never plan to leave again!!

Climbing @ skaha bluffs a few times a week before work :D
Mexican Bulldogs @ Best damn sports bar
a new way to get "iced"
OH YES, ALL summer long!
my neighbours view... its alright, only second level.. meh
Dollar tacos @ Best damn sports bar
view from my deck, not as good. but the lightning storms are in that direction!
raw oysters and boat drinks @ Salty's Beachhouse

SUMMER IS FLYING BY!

WOW!

Its mid august already and I haven't made a post in what seems like forever now. SOO, heres some goodies Ive been holding back till, now?
Finished Jayne's half sleeve up way before sumer was underway, I have just yet to figure out how to splice multiple photos in the new CS5 photoshop.

Sharon is the nicest 'older' lady I have tattooed, yet I feel horrible after each session we have. She was one of my clients from CRAFTSMAN TATTOO while I was there.
