the pistol whipped prophets
- In events, personal, photography, pictures,
This band always makes me feel like a kid again. I don’t even mind if I get a black eye while dancing, and that’s a good thing. Here are a few pictures, after the jump.
help the local animals!!!
I will be working at our corvallis studio on saturday. If you come in to get tattooed, I will donate 20% of the cost of your tattoo to the animals! So if you’ve been putting off your tattoo, waiting for a good time, saturday at corvallis is IT.
Be brave and help the animals!
(in other words, if you get tattooed by me on saturday, 20% of what you paid me gets donated to the save the pets charity. It’s not a discount, it’s a donation.)
the art opening, november ’08
My stuff will be hanging at the Horsehead until the end of the month, and I’ll be there again on Friday night for first friday, if you want to come ask me any questions about the paintings, or take another look. If you liked something and want to buy it, ask at the bar- they’re handling sales for the show. It’ll all be there until the 1st of december.
After the jump, some pictures from the opening- it was a great time, thanks to everyone for coming out and to my friends from out of town for coming down to see it!
Redding Ink
This weekend I will be working at the Redding Ink convention, in Redding, CA, with the womantattooartistforum and with HPP.
It should be a blast, if you are in CA and want some work done come on out and see me there, and be aware I will smell quite strongly of in-n-out burger the whole weekend.
about travel
- In conventions, events, tattooing, travel,
I’ve worked a lot of conventions, and guest spots, and traveled for work in general. To all my past, present, and future boyfriends, girlfriends, houseboys, significant others, and just plain others:
I go to work.
That’s right. Guest spots are fun. Travel is a great time. Conventions? A big party. But I’m working. I work there. I’m not going to just “hang out” or “party time” or anything like that. I’m promoting myself, my shop, my work. I’m selling prints (sometimes with your help!) I’m tattooing. I’m entering contests. I’m working, the whole time. The afterparty? Just a way for me to find out how to re-attach a tube vise.

come on out and join the mayhem

the everett steel and skin tattoo convention
I have been very busy since I last posted. I went to Everett, and worked at the Steel and Skin convention. I also hung out in Seattle for a day or two, and got to seee Jim Mister, Will Bodnar, and Caine and Nanichan- it was fun, but tiring, because I started work again the day I got back and haven’t had a day off since!
I am enjoying work this week, though, even though I have had a few late nights sessions. Click “read more” below to see pictures. I had fun at the convention, I got to see Gil Montie again, he is always super friendly to me. I ended up working almost the entire time we were there. I felt like I was doing public service work, because most of what I did was fixing or covering up old or bad tattoos for guys. We were right across from the banditos booth, and they had spaghetti one of the days and it smelled great. I couldnt’ figure out where the smell was coming from, though, it was very confusing (and mouth-watering)
On Sunday Reed won a trophy for tattoo of the day. I made money and he made headlines, hahaha. Al made the front page of the local section of the paper there. Then it was off to Seattle.

Smoke. Burning out the crowd.

“have a happy go jiggy day”, plus one of my old cards from when I worked at Laughing Buddha…this is at a chinese restaurant in Seattle. It’s up at 73 and greenwood, they have great food.
