More new ink!

Posted 03 Apr 2008 in personal, tattoos

IMG_6423I haven’t posted personal pics in a while, so here’s an update. For the past year, I’ve gradually been getting more ink. My left sleeve was finished back in February, and I’ve been getting my right arm sleeved out a few hours at a time (since that’s all I can afford). The line work was done a few weeks ago; adding waves, peonies, and skulls to the half-sleeve I already had. (click the pics to enlarge)

Instead of a traditional cap on the end of the sleeve, I asked my artist (Casey Cokrlic of Fine Line Tattoos in Garland, TX.) to use the negative space of the skin to create a wave pattern, much like we did with flames on the end of my left sleeve. It’s not 100% traditional Japanese style, but I like it better. Yesterday’s session was 2 hours’ worth, adding shading and color to the water, next time we’ll put the color into the flowers and skulls. Just a few more sittings and this one will be finished!

traci also got some brand-new tattoos: a rose on her middle finger, a heart on her ring finger, and “DILLIGAF” on the edge of her left hand. It was all hella painful, but at least her session didn’t last too long and she wound up with some exciting new pieces. She loves her hand tattoos and gets lots of comments on them. These are sure to cause quite a stir.
