This is a Blue Bird I did on my friend and loyal client. The tattoo is so large it wraps around his arm so I had to do what I could to place the pictures together to include the entire tattoo. We didn’t talk too much about the meaning, but he is in the Navy so I’m 99% sure it has to do with coming home after his long trip to Japan. It was a blast to do!

I got this tattoo in Laguna Beach, CA at a small tattoo shop a couple weeks ago on my high school’s senior trip. “Burning drops of rain flood my thirsty soul” is a lyric by the musician Santana. He was one of my mom’s favorite musicians, and this lyric was from one of her favorite songs, “Lighting in the Sky”.  I got this tattoo in honor of her, and I could not love it more. Every time I look at it, it makes me think of her:)

My Dan Mumford inspired back piece of Dracula that he did for The Black Dahlia Murder. Ever since I saw his design, I knew I wanted it done on me. The line work and colors have always drawn my eye and held it. Work was done by Nickhole Arcade (https://www.facebook.com/nickhole.arcade) in West Hollywood, CA at Velvet Grip Family Tattoo. This is only three and a half hours of work, almost all the line work is completed and all the color will be done in July. I trusted her abilities as an artist and gave her a lot of freedom to do the piece the way she thought would look the best and I was completely blown away by how amazing it came out. I can’t wait to see it finished.

My AMAZING new portrait of my cat Christopher. This is my 9th tattoo from the oh so talented Justin Jakus of Black Diamond Tattoo in Venice, California. It took about five hours and Justin pays such great attention to detail I couldn’t be in love with this piece.

This is my second tattoo. A peacock feather to show my change and growth since my boyfriends death, August 3rd 2010. I have one other tattoo that I received a month after my boyfriend passed away which is a memorial cross. This tattoo was done by Holly Feneht at Eternal Art Tattoo, Santa Clarita CA. It took 6 painful hours but I’m very proud to have this beautiful piece on my forearm. You can find the artist here: http://www.facebook.com/holly.feneht
