12 of 12, April 2013

My sixteenth “12 of 12”.

All pictures were taken by me with my iPhone 4S.

Since I work an odd schedule compared to most of you, I decided to start my “12 of 12” after midnight. It is the twelfth after all…. Although it extends past the twelfth, because I was working all day. And night.

The 12 of 12 challenge was created by Chad Darnell and picked up from a number of random bloggers who then linked back to him and vice versa. Chad stopped doing the 12 of 12 links in December of 2011, but has now passed the torch on to Janet Hughes. I’m linking with her, but I’m also giving a shout out to to Blobby’s Blog as Blobby is the one who inspired me to do it.

On to the day! Or night, as it might be.

12:12 AM: Right before I went to bed, this is what my computer displayed. Timing *is* everything, apparently.

12:44 PM: Redraw number one. Or two? The client changed location on me. And yes, that's what you think it is.

Until next time...

  1. Really nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.
    I should take part on the 12 on 12 at some point…
    It’s a matter of personal interest, but I don’t like the 5 pack tattoo. I like how you’ve made it, but not as a subject and the size of the print on someone’s chest…

    1. Thank you. I was lucky to get those photos in this 12 on 12.

      It’s definitely an off-the-wall tattoo to be sure. But it actually fit the client, oddly enough. One thing I’ve learned as a tattooer: “To each their own. ” 😉

  2. I like that you’re keeping this series going. Maybe I need to create a calendar event to remind myself of it.

    Your hair is growing back nicely! 🙂

  3. You look quite handsome albeit pensive in your photos
    The 5 pack tattoo is rawther unsettling.
    The cat looks to be up to no good, that’s for certain.

    1. Is “pensive” a good thing or bad thing?

      The tattoo definitely fit the client, without a doubt.

      Both kittehs are always up to no good. But that’s why they’re kittehs!

  4. I love that you always include shirtless pics in your 12 on the 12th posts. And you look adorably cute in your “bored” as you wait for an appt. That beer tattoo is interesting. It makes me thing maybe I should tattoo Godzilla having a Margarita, shot of Patrón tequila or a sake bomb. Hehehe….
