Final addition for Thi's arm sleeve..bicep area

this will be yet again another great challenge....can't wait... "when the shit goes doooooown..... ya betta b ready!"-Cypress Hill

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.. 

Thi came through to get his waterfall piece to symbolize his moms lessons still flowing through his blood even after her passing. 

 the girl symbolizes his desire to find a woman that might come close to being as good and loving of a woman not just another scallywag.  

 much like how her ashes were dissolved forever into the world  her teachings and memories are dissolved now into the skin in the form of ink.

His arm is coming together nicely.. this is my second almost complete sleeve.

. lots of fun to be had
