WOW June was busy!

Going through my schedule and photos from June...this was a Damn busy month.

No complaints, understand that...but my ass has been planted in my chair and puttin some color out. Yesterday I finished Larry's Hawk and Tiger sleeve:

This month was also the month of starting new projects, I started another Hawk sleeve on Jason, started color on Josh's Buddhism sleeve, worked on Lloyd's body suit, added color to Scott's Koi cover up, and more color on Peg's back. I also started on a new piece for Mandy, a goat demon hell devil, started the outline for Zakk's chest. So, like I said it's been a busy month.

To reward myself we're taking off to RoHo to stay with friends over the 4th of July weekend. I can't tell you how long it's been since we were away during a weekend...it's about time LOL My plan is to be plugged into my IPod and read a good book (yes I read) I've been wanting to start this book for weeks "The Runaways" by Cherie Curry, it's a light read but entertaining enough to keep me focused. Hopefully the rain will stay away...

Updates Abound

I love doing updates and keeping all my peeps well informed of my progress with my work.

Plugging away on Peg's back piece, only a few more sessions and we will finished and free to move onto other concepts we've been discussing. By the way people the Ohm was here first piece...she's taking this tattoo thing quite serious.

I'm also moving at warp speed with Larry's sleeve of the Hawk and Tiger, we're practically working on it every week. He's a beast. Healing it flawlessly as well. But to see it in all it's bigness go to his page in the In Progress Gallery http://http://tattoos-by-stacy.smugmug.com/Tattoos/In-Progress-1/9575760_u7stN#868462402_EpcZo-A-LB

Scott's Koi cover up is moving right along and I've also added a piece I'm doing on Zakk's chest, a nautical theme. I've also added a piece I just started on my apprentice Mandy. A very wicked satanic piece, involving a goat's head, bats and a pentagram. When she showed the picture to her mom Dale also a long time client and friend she said; "well I taught you right" LOL

So, my loveleeees when you have time pop on over to my site http://www.tattoosbystacy.com and check out all the new eye candy, cause DAMN IT I put a lot of work into this!!! PEACE OUT!!

Healed Piczzz

I had done this Michael Meyer's Halloween sleeve on Melanie last year but with her work schedule and visiting every Horror Convention on the East Coast we haven't been able to meet up and do healed pics.

Finally we did and here they are. This was a super fantastic bubble plastic piece to work on. It gave me a chance to really show off my own love of Horror and ofcourse Michael Meyer's Halloween.

I really love Horror films and have been itching to do the girl from the movie Orphan as well as Nightmare On Elm Street or Hellraiser. Of course any of the awesome characters from the 100's of Japanese Horror films. There are just too many to list but if you watch them like I do you know the ones I'm talking about.

Hope you enjoy!!!

I Start Em' Young

Janis brought Aidan by the studio today and I don't know with all that fresh skin on him I had to!!! NOOOOO WAYYY

I would never...but I started to think about it, when Aidan is 18 and ready for his first tattoo I will be 60, gulp. 60?!!!! WTF I hope I can still hold a machine in my hand by then.

There have been plenty of old timers tattooing well into their 70's so I think there's a good chance i'll be giving Aidan his first taste of ink.

Over the years I've had clients ask me to tattoo their kids, as young as 12...I just can't, that's too young. There's a reason why this is a "right of passage" into adult hood. Maybe i'm just being an old fuddy-duddy but there's something about reaching certain ages and earning the right or priviledge for something. It's a ritual event, a coming of age, an event to mark the progression of someone's life. Not...because "Iwant it!"

But I did put a wicked lil black heart on Jani's pinky, she's been itchin since we stopped working on her when she found out she was preggers with the kid. But now that he's out in the real world, work can start on momma again so we just did a lil taste. We'll start back on her Alice in Wonderland sleeve in a couple weeks, wrap that up and move onto some other projects we'eve been discussing over these long 9 months. LOL

Keep cool out there peeps!!
