with butter..

put in a good session on this marcos piece... new machine back to an old ink system that always yielded good results... altogether equates to a piece i was very excited about upon completion. pondering adding white highlights for added umph.

behold the og3 -1 shader.  made from a stealth and hacked chinese dragonfly copy rotary parts.  the vertical rubberband smooths out the vibrations.. works suprisingly very smooth.  i know storm rotary makes a model like this but factory streamlined.STORM a-250 ADJUSTABLE ROTARY TATTOO MACHINE REVIEW ... im gonna buy it n give it a try.

and finally the more fun loving side of OG3...

money frogs

two homies came in coincidentally getting moneyfrogs... each was customized to fit their personalities...

Thi added onto his forearm..his has waves which hold importance in symbolizing his mothers love and life.. a tsunami scale wall engulfing a worry free unsuspecting moneyfrog just out for his hustle...hes already got a good bite on how to get it.

Ky's frog is a bit more g'd up and less playfull ..cuz Ky dont take kindly to those who play with his money.  His emerges from the water yet is surrounded by it symbolizing that he has escaped drowning and emerged from the waters of the neighborhoods temptations and no goodness.

Both are not finished because both are busy hopping around like frogs out to get coinage in there mouth.

Koopa came in to add onto what will be a freedom of expression themed chest plate when finished.

we got a good solid pass after about 6 hours.  decided we should save some more for later.. 

after all i do charge what others do for half sessions.  This was on the cuff.  I think if you get to tattoo you're lucky.  If you get paid in the process you're even more lucky; perhaps ...

...blessed if you will.

not all people get to survive doing what they love.  

I'm working hard to keep it that way

got a fun little hi detail mini tattoo design ready for next week.

the butterfly is to represent a lost brother.. the shears are for her love of her craft..
