sweet drawings

Is the parlor going to remain white walled, or is the idea that it will start white and hopefully it will all get drawn over like your doing beside the mirror? That would be pretty sweet.

congrats and awesomeness!!!!
I've always wanted to do that!!!
fill me in on the steps of progress, this is such an interesting thing!
In my state you have to apprentice for a certain amount of time before you can get a license, is that what you had to do?

Thanks Z!

Cardinal, thanks. We are still working those details out. Most of the walls will remain white or with some kind of faux finish. We want a really clean look - and shop.

Gypsee, yeah, I think a lot of the states have similar laws about this now. I will be apprenticing for the amount of time required to get licensed, but tattooing before then. I already have a couple people wanting me to practice on them. My trainer being one.

Will keep you posted! Thanks!

Hi Cardinal. Yep, still moving right along. It's coming together nicely. I have new pics but havent uploaded them to computer yet. Will do soon. Going to take it easy tonight. Thanks for askin'!

Cpn, I'd love to do that! And i could draw a way better version of it. Good question about where to have it done....hmm
I'll think about it. Youve got my email I believe. We can connect there.

I'm so excited for you. This should be a really cool experience!!

I was just thinking about you and your artist skills when I was browsing etsy last night for chakra artwork. I found some really great stuff, and I can only imagine what you could do with watercolors!!

Great stuff, can't wait to watch YOUR tattoo shop on tv!!

p.s. please don't tattoo your pretty face like Kat did on her show, L.A, ink? I think thats the name of it. It is so distracting!!!

Sweet.

The white on black background is really distracting, but once the whites been coloured in, and I imagine it hasn't been yet because you want to do it an array of colours, I bet it'll be awesome!

I personally am opposed to tattoos all around, because of their rather... insincere quality, and destruction of natural beauty, so I wouldn't get a tattoo, but I think it's an interesting thing, as I like art, and sounds like a wicked job.
