SUNNY!

the weather is getting warmer during the day.
the mood of the woodsly goodness is improving somewhat.
and sunny dispositions lead to sunnier tattoos.
and what's sunnier than sunflowers?
not much.
i did a couple of marky-markered big ones for a little kid:

yup.
it's not a small tattoo, so shoutouts to big commitments.
a whole lotta lines, and a whole lotta careful hands,
trying not to wipe off what i was working on, OR what i still needed to work on.
levitating above the marker to leave it in place is tiring.
if i'd used a stencil and some stencil adhesive
i could've maybe just sped along without worry that i'd erase what i'd planned;
but it would not have been as much fun, even if it might've been faster.
making tattooing fun for everybody at AMPERSAND TATTOO
is what we're all about.
so, i do it the slightly harder way for the benefit of everyone.
there's a rumor that there's marker stick'em that keeps it from wiping away....
it's possible that i need some of that.
i mean, i wouldn't mind going a bit quicker, y'know?
yeah.
and i'll say it because it needs saying often:
here's to terrible photography.
i dunno why i can capture a perfect picture of a F*ing muffin,
but never snap anything of quality on a tattoo.
how does my camera know the difference?
technologists might have an opinion on this one,
but i'm stumped.

four hour tattoos.
that sounds perfect to me.
it's just right.
the clients can sit for 'em;
i can maintain a high level of enthusiasm;
the whole experience if perfect,
AND it's over in one shot.
that's my favorite.
where's all my one-shot cool tattoo clients at?
this may, i want MORE hottness and less generic sh!t.
i'm gonna be baby-babying, and tatty-tat-tattooing,
and generally looking to have a better time being alive,
so let's do this, dudes;
never quiet, never soft.....
