from the plane

You might or might not remember the tattoo I was thinking about getting after my show. I was never quite happy with it as black wings, so it sat, and then near the beginning of this year I started playing with turning it into a multicolor thing instead.

On the plane back from Seattle, I think I finally got something that makes me happy.



I will have to consult with a few tattooists to find one who I think can make this work, and to see if anything resembling yellow that intense is actually possible - there may have to be one more round of revisions before this goes on my body! But it's something I intend to start working on in the next few months, once we get to Seattle. I really feel, at this point, like it would be a bad idea to stick a huge load of Boston ink in my body just as I'm about to leave.

Then I ran my laptop's battery down playing a video game for a while. And switched to the sketchbook.



Well, Absinthe approves of our planned new location.



Black-n-blue water dragoness doodling. Kinda orca-y.


Dragon and vixen mermaids. Or sirens. Probably the latter, given the dragon in question.

Have you considered UV inks as well? I've a few friends who have had it done to enhance their tats.

One of my original lines of thought to snazz up the B&W version was UV. I see varying opinions on the safety of that, though. And I'm not sure I spend enough time under UV for it to be a good idea - I want something that's always on display and proclaiming my unemployability at menial jobs.

Actually, if you take this colored design, and then drop in a little UV under the other colors (or in a few open spots)... like running lights, perhaps?
