Baba Yaga

Saturday, November 30, 2013
Baba Yaga's house! My absolute favorite to date. Done on the same lady with the California Condor.

 

Hustin's Pisces



Still in progress, a Pisces chest piece cover-up of the words "Love is my weapon." Only about half-way done!



Falcon and Rat

Additions to Colin! (He has the jackalope chest piece). He asked me to do whatever I wanted, and this Falcon is what I came up with!

 

Mermaid

Horrible photo. A still unfinished piece on Mari, she is definitely a woman of the water! Can't wait to finish this piece.

 

California Condor

Another favorite of mine. This is a cover-up of a little swan and the word "love." The bird is a California Condor, the owner's spirit animal. He came to her in a dream. She was him. Maia is an amazing lady.

 

Poppies and PMA

Still unfinished piece. But a great story behind the banner and words-
The "PMA" (Positive Mental Attitude. Something very fitting to its owner!) is something I drew on my friend Ariel's arm for our friend Griffin to tattoo on her in her living room a few years ago. Then as my very very very first tattoo, even before that antler I posted earlier, I did that little banner and touched up the wobbly "PMA." Then, to our shock and grief, Griffin passed away this summer. Ariel had been talking about getting poppy tattoos before, but now they had a different meaning. Poppies are the flower of death, and now remembrance. I can't wait to finish this lovely transformative and important tattoo.

 

Indian Corn

One of my favorites. A tribute to her father, Indiana, her love for corn and all things fall, and the movie "Children of the Corn."
