Pic a Day in May: May 23, 2014

Today’s photo was taken by my buddy Dwayne. It’s a picture of me working on his latest tattoo.

Workin'...
Workin’…

Some of you might have seen my Instagram post of the pattern before we started. We got most all of it outlined today in 6.5 hours.

But there’s much more to come.


Jim of Jim’s Stuff started the “Pic a Day in May” challenge two years ago. I did it then, and last year, and felt like I’d do it again this year. Since that’s all I pretty much post these days.

Other bloggers that I follow who are playing along:

Blobby of Blobby’s Blog
Sean of Idle Eyes and a Dormy
Kelly of Rambling along in life… with a Stern point of view

Until next time...

Pic a Day in May: May 22, 2014

My daily tools. At least the ones I use for tattooing.

Tools...
Tools…

On the left is my liner, and on the right my shader.

And they’re called “machines”, not “guns”.

Today is my Friday. A day earlier than normal. Because I’m taking tomorrow off. But I got to start this tattoo today. We stopped at about the 5-hour mark as he was starting to get twitchy.

Gearing up...

Until next time...
