here's Woodie's tattoo.
she saw me in Cat Fancy and couldn't resist having another cat lady tattoo her.

this is Fat Von D... no, i'm not kidding.
when he's not dressing in drag, Tommy can be found at Atomic Tattoo.
this is Sharon Needles... say it outloud - you'll get it.
Levi gets around, so pay attention to find him in a city near you.

here's myself, Briana Sargent (aka Brad/Laces), Sandy Dixon, Denise Eisenhower (who came all the way from Germany), and Sweet Laraine.

then, Bri tattooed me. it was less than comfortable.

we did manage to get to the beach one day and have a little outdoor sunshine time, too!

over all, the trip was a good time and i'm planning on doing the convention again next year. actually, i'm planning on doing more conventions in the future, so keep an ear to the ground so you know when i'll be out-of-town and maybe near you!

convention news!



Briana and I tattooed the Rockefeller twins last night. It was a blast and Briana made them spoon. Haha!

DONT FORGET!

I'll be at the Marked For Life Tattoo Convention starting Thursday. The convention runs through Sunday the 20th. I will be back to work the 25th. I can still make appointments while I'm away, so give me a call!

Who Loves Beer?

Ben does!





Ben came in a few weeks ago to get a nautical star, with a sketchy feel to it. If you read the blog often, you'll remember it. If you don't, here's a refresher:

Ben's got more plans for his arm, so i'll update you all as we check items off his list.

THANKS, BRI!!

i finally got my twelve 28 tattoo done by Briana at Sacred Tattoo, Chinatown, NYC!

aaaaaaand ya gotta love chinatown!

Tattoo for ME!

i'm going to Sacred NYC today to get tattooed by Briana Sargent.
i'll be in later this evening until about 8pm.
i'm in all day tomorrow! pictures of my new work later!

it's gonna be aaaaaaaawesome.

Pictures!


Laura came in to get a memorial piece for her beloved feline, Moe. We shared funny cat stories, laughed, and cried a little. Being a crazy cat lady myself, I could totally sympathize with how she felt and hope the tattoo made her grieving a little less painful.


Bella just had to get in the chair for one final text tattoo before the year was out. I can't wait to see what "picture tattoos" we come up with for her in the new year!


Matt was my first tattoo of 2008. Some of you may know him as "Unicorn Matt"... he's the owner of the insanely colorful unicorn tattoo in my portfolio. We started the rest of that sleeve today. He came in a few months ago and said, "I'm thinking bees with ray guns" and here's what we started. Yes, there is a cowboy bee. Yes, they are blowing up NYC. Just wait until the color gets going!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!


i hope you all had a good time partying, spending time w/ loved ones, or pondering just how old Dick Clark could possibly be, as my friends and i did. after waking up late today and checking my calendar, it looks like i've already got quite a few appointments set up for the new year!

since January is looking to be pretty busy, call me soon if you would like to get some work done this month. as always, i'm more than happy to come in on "days off" or stay late if you don't mind being tattooed in the wee hours.

there will be one more day of filming with MSNBC for me and that will be Tuesday, January 8th. obviously, the shop will be closed that day. don't fret! as soon as i know what day the show is airing i'll be sure to publicize the hell out of it.

ALSO: i will be out-of-town at the Marked For Life Convention in Florida. i will be tending a cute, little booth w/ fellow tattoo artist, Briana Sargent from Sacred Tattoo in Chinatown, NYC. if you're going to be in the area while the convention is going on, come say hi - or better yet - come get tattooed at the convention by me!

i look forward to hearing all of your insane new year's stories!

HAPPY NEW YEAR YEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
