@Boiled Dove I love your new tattoo! That is a super fun one. For my shin, I was actively managing the swelling. I took it really easy, kept it elevated as much as possible for a few days. It swelled up more after I traveled home which was after the second sitting. My shin didn't swell as much as I thought it would, though. The worst swelling to date was on the back of my left knee, in the ditch. THAT was swollen!
 

September '19 indeed

Sweet @Dan! It's crazy that the next Friday the 13th won't be until what, September of next year?

I don't get to go to Pagoda this year but I did have a little thing done yesterday. Great thing about working with the same person over a period of time. I brought a co worker to her for her first tattoo a few weeks ago and we were talking and she came up with the idea of a vintage suitcase (perfect for me). Didn't really know what to expect and this is what she came up with. She remembered my three most common travel destinations. How can you not be grateful for people like that.

I saw a certain someone's new tattoo on the gram today on a certain artist's page. @Gingerninja
 
Can't wait to see it settled in but wanted to be the first to say your California trip was otherworldly in terms of amazement from an outside view.

Here is what we got done this weekend. 

Here is what we had before.

 
 

Living right, @Gingerninja!

I had been wanting this tattoo from Laurent for two years! It was a total fluke that it came to fruition on my trip. While Theo was working on my mermaid, I told Laurent that I really wanted a kewpie in a horseshoe from him some day. He was like "how does Thursday work for you?". Hahaha...booked and done! @Oiocha

Another souvenir from my trip to Spider Murphys last month by Laurent Trelaun.

good choice

pictures or it didn't happen. 

so we landed on Maui yesterday for 2 weeks.
fun on the flight,
views from our condo ,
and a few little green friends at the tiki lounge.
Aloha !

Well I waited. My artist went to a new shop and get set up. Went is for session 2 today and we had a great afternoon laughing. Project is almost complete.

Man, I was bummed when the episode ended! Wish it was two hours long! Can't wait to see what else is in store for the series.

I don't have the time or money to be hearing this! I have to finish with Tomo first!! 😆

He definitely seems super fun. He was hilarious in the Denning episode, too.

When Kiku did my skull beads, I was trying hard to not move because I was giggling so much. He said that he was "making my flames special for the ladies". I was dying.

Kiku is such a goof ball, he is so high on my damn list and now I just want to hang out with him.

Met him at Takashi Matsuba's art show, was really chill.

season 2 is starting on 07/11/2018,
Ep1 looks like a good one, I get it on VICELAND on COMCAST
"The Mastrer of all tattoos:Chris Garver"
   
 

Book with Scott Sylvia to one shot my stomach at Pagoda City. Last appointment of the day on Friday, "so we don't have to rush." Have a few ideas for what I want him to do, but still have to settle that.

Hey maybe we'll run into each other, I'm hoping to go for my birthday in October!
 

That would be a tough call. If it were me, since it is started, I'd stay with the artist and then re-evaluate after that one is finished.
