Arrange whatever pieces come your way.

We finished (my wife) Meryl's chestpiece once we returned from our trip, and now it's all healed up.
"Some little language such as lovers use" is a line from Virginia Woolf's The Waves.
I think it took just under 6 hours total tattoo time.



Maybe someday literary tattoos will overtake band tattoos in popularity...?
Or maybe that's just a hopeful fantasy of mine,
and there will never be any end to bad cd cover art and logos being reproduced as tattoos.
Well, give me the dorky tattoos all day long.
Birds, books, and plant life,
creepy animals, lighthouses, and old things,
and I'm having a good time.

Lightning bugs.

The only way Amy and Jaime could be any more awesome
would be if their names didn't rhyme.
But oh well.
Thanks tons to them and Maynard House
for the overwhelming hospitality.
I've stayed there 4 times now,
and every time there's new house members.
But every time I'm treated like a king.



This time around,
we started working on Amy's chest piece.
We didn't finish, but after 4 hours we needed to wrap up the session.
A mason jar full of fireflies.
We need to do a lot of detail work,
and some line sculpting,
but it's a good start.



Thanks again to Off the Map Tattoo and Maynard House
for all they did for me this past week.
I look forward to coming back again soon(ish).
