6th Tattoo

So yesterday I finally got my sleeve complete!

John O Hara from Gristle Tattoo worked on it. I got Dandelion flowers and leaves with a Cicada.

He did such an amazing job. I’m really lucky because he isn’t one of the artist that have crazy long wait lists which are really nice.

I would definitely go back to him and let him do a full sleeve of something. Just need to spend time thinking about it. Maybe I just need to continue up the arm onto the shoulder and go onto the chest or back.

The original artwork of the tattoo that he had is just a draft since he had to shift things around a bit to fit the Cicada. The original plan was for it to be near Mothy but that looked too weird having to bugs next to each other.

5th Tattoo- Thomas Bates- NY Adorned

So I had my 5th tattoo with Thomas Bates.

I wanted to get a dog since that was my Zodiac symbol. I decided that something more wild like a wolf would be cooler and also have an edge.

Guarded, Loyal and can be trusted are all qualities that are similar to my personality.

Thomas is insanely talented and I am so lucky to have this tattoo by him. He was also such a cutie :-)
