  1. I have a traditional anchor on one foot and a much darker anatomical heart on the other. i thought about being matchy-matchy, but I like it this way better. ;-) Comes down to what YOU like. Hope that helps!
  2. Cover Up by Tony Velasquez, Ink Divine Tattoo Company, San Pedro, CA I had a 8000 year old armband (ok, not 8000...more like 22) that was horrible and not pretty and I hated it. This is what Tony turned it into. I love love love it!

  9. Ok, ok...I'm not a lurker anymore! I'm Lynn, I live in Long Beach, got my first tattoo at 18 and haven't looked back. ;-)
  10. I bake, so my guy always gets homemade goodies. I also try to make enough for the entire shop (somethings he just refuses to share, so I make seperate plates). They get to be my taste testers and I have a grateful artist. ;-) We were friends before he ever started working on me, so that's always nice. Aside from that, I always make sure I'm well rested, in a good mood, well-hydrated, freshly showered (you're gonna have someone all up on ya for a good length of time, it's only polite.), no perfume and ready to sit! I show up on time (even a few minutes early so I can get situated), say hi to everyone who works in the shop, not just my guy. We have a great time and joke around, makes the time pass. It's a good shop with a fun bunch of people ---why fuck that up by acting like and ass? Be nice to the people who are tattooing you...they are doing something amazing for and to you.
  11. I leave the bandage on as long as I can. After that, I wash with hibiclens and let it air dry. If I'm about to go to bed, I use Living Essentials Frankincense essential oil. I'm pretty much healed in a day or two. I still use Aquaphor for the first week and keep using the hibiclens.
  12. Just watch the neighborhood you're looking at! Happy Hunting!
  13. My Left Foot (hahaha...) Another from Tony Velasquez @ Ink Divine in San Pedro, CA!
  14. Mine. ;-) Done by Tony Velasquez at Ink Divine Tattoo Co in San Pedro, CA
  15. Long Beach...not too bad of a commute to Anaheim. Good people, great weather, lots of stuff to do!
  16. I just started sitting for a cover-up last night on a 25+ year old band of posies on my arm. (As soon as we're all done I'll post the before during and afters) As a joke, the first thing out my artist's mouth was "How 'bout a panther?" Which got him a sock in the arm and about 5 minutes of laughter. Most of my work is traditional American which isn't (aside from a panther, roses or a giant eagle) the easiest to use as a cover-up. We're in the process of doing a quarter sleeve peacock (my 2 1/2 year old niece's favorite thing to "draw" with a traditional mum. The rest of the band (I am NOT going under the arm again---EVER) I plan to have lasered off.
