There was discussion before we started about getting all girly, so I promised to start one with a duckie or a bunny or a Unicorn…

You see what happened to it : )

Art Fusion – First Edition

•January 11, 2011 • Leave a Comment

Well our AYU Art Group had their first Art Fusion event. We had a ton of fun. Learned a lot and plan on doing another one in the future.

Joelle Willsey was nice enough to come and take photos for us. She went way above and beyond and took a ton of photos for us! This was excellent as many of us did not get to look at what was going on with the other pieces while we were looking.

I have reorganized the photos so that each group of pictures will be following the same piece of paper as it develops with different artists working on it.

Apparently this is just way too many photos for the WordPress system to keep track of and handle. So I will put each of the pieces that was worked on in it’s own separate post – Then I will post this again at the end  (which will read as the beginning) or some semblance of it anyhow.

What Would You Do with This? Mask and Tank Edition

So this is the image that Sara chose for us this time:

I am thinking that I might need to change these from “What Would You Do with This?” to “What I did with This”. It seems that interest in this particular project has waned and this might be the last one that gets to be posted.

On the upside, our art group has bunches of new projects planned and there should be fun things to post as a result of those soon enough.

Booking Appointments in 2011 (Updated)

•January 10, 2011 • Leave a Comment

Booking Appointments

I am currently booking appointments for 2011. Here is the deal with booking appointments.

If you are a completely new client – you will have to talk to me BEFORE you can book an appointment. This may be an email conversation, a phone conversation or possibly a personal consultation. You will NOT be able to stop in to the shop and book with me through anyone else.

If we have talked generically about your tattoo design or idea, but I do not have specifics (tracing of the body part, photo reference, style choices, etic.,) then you will need to have a consultation appointment ahead of time.

If we have already had a consultation appointment and I have agreed to work with you on your design, then you have options as how you can book.

~ stop into the Webster location on a Friday or Saturday and book in person with one of the counter staff

~ email me reminders of all necessary design info and then call to book the appointment and leave the deposit by phone

~ email me reminders of all necessary design info and paypal the deposit and I can call or email back with dates for your appointment

I must have either a completed appointment sheet or all of your information in writing (via email or regular mail) and a deposit BEFORE I can schedule time for you. I will not “just hold some time” for you without having clear specifics on what we are doing.

If you have ANY questions at all, please contact me through email. It is difficult to catch me on the phone, but you are welcome to try. Please do not stop into either shop unannounced except for Fridays and Saturdays in Webster when there is a counter person there to assist you.

————-

Once my schedule fills up to June 30th I will stop booking appointments again.

Below is a repost explaining the changes that I have made to my scheduling. Again, these are the guidelines that I am working under, if you have questions at all, please contact me directly.

Thank you muchly!!!

For some time now I have been feeling overwhelmed. I have tried in the past to cut back on the number of new projects that I am taking on and while it has helped some…. the time has come to do something a bit more drastic.

I apologize in advance to any who may feel slighted. I am not judging you or your tattoo. I am not telling you that there is anything wrong with the style of tattoo that you would like.

What I am doing is cutting back on the projects that I am doing and focusing on a smaller variety of tattoos.

So for the foreseeable future I will be doing:

Portraits and Realistic Work

Custom Celtic Designs

Figurative, Pin-up and Fairies

No Outline Color & Black and Grey Work

Medical Tattooing (Reconstructive)

fun stuff (yes, I know that’s completely subjective)

continuing work on existing clients

I will not be doing:

Reworks (other than mine) and Cover-Ups

Flash (other than mine or something really fun)

Regular “outline” Tattoos (yes this is completely subjective)

Small Single Point Tattoos (unless it is a ridiculously fun idea)

Traditional Japanese style Work

Text or Word based designs (no paragraphs of type)

Tribal (still)
