My friend apparently REALLY likes squirrels and requested this:


So I obliged. It was fun :)
She's a real champ though cause I've been told I'm heavy handed.

(other tats have no pics yet)

Sir Squid Diddimus

Foot tattoos are intense!
I've heard that the skin on oranges and grapefruits have the same resistance as skin when it comes to how the needle slides in.
you could practice on those...

Troof. Med/nursing students practice on fruit before jabbing needles into people.

CS: That's actually pretty impressive (and v. cute). How many have you done?

i do practice on fruits
they make this neato practice skin that reacts like human skin
need to get some of that to work on shading.

ive only done a couple
a few skulls, a henna heart and that squirrel.

it isnt as easy as it looks but it isnt real hard either.
it is a lot of fun however.

It looks fun, and seems like a fabulous skill to have for barter.

Sir Squid Diddimus

it is a lot of fun
they get tattooed for the price of a bottle of ink :)

Eve

Probably better that I pay $150/hr instead of just buying the ink. I'd already be completely covered, if that was the case.  :|

this gave me a migraine.
then i puked.

it's green ink (not black) camera makes it look black.

i told her she should fill in the blank space between the doo-jiggies but she said "sounds painful"..... like the rest of it wasn't? she was twitching like a palsey patient.

I love that! I always wanted to do a paisle on each heel, but I haven't. So I guess I didn't want it that bad.

Sir Squid Diddimus

i dont recommend getting tattoos on your heels.
the skin there gets a lot of wear and tear and they'll eventually wear away.
so it would only be temporary.
