Tattoo Contest!

Welcome! Ashley and I are so excited to tell you about our contest! The lucky lady who wins our contest will be the proud new owner of a pretty little sakura cherry blossom tattoo with a sparkly dermal gem piercing in the center of the flower! Similar to the one in this pic!

This is a 2 part contest: You will first get the tattoo from me and then once healed, you'll go to Ashley to have her pierce you. You can put your prize anywhere you want it (within reason) and we want you to tell us where and why you want it as your contest entry!
How to enter:
Send me a pic or video of yourself pointing to where you'd like to have your new tattoo (it will be about the size of a quarter). Include your story as to why you think you deserve to win …and here is the kicker… you're going to want to make it really good, because the public will be voting! Send pics via Facebook message or direct email and I will post asap & confirm your entry so you can start sharing your link!

I will post your pic in a special album on my Facebook page and you can share it with your friends and family and tell them to share it with their friends and family and whoever gets the most likes will win!  Ashley will promote on her Facebook page, and Baltimore Street Tattoos will promote on theirs, as well.  However, remember… ONLY the likes on your pic in my special folder will count.

The contest is going to run from August 1st till midnight August 31st and the winner will be announced September 2nd.  This prize is valued at approximately $160!  Guys, you are welcome to enter, too, but the prize cannot be substituted in any way.  What you win is what you get!  Prize must be claimed before January 1, 2014.

 

New Pics!

Hey peeps~ just letting you know that I've added a few new pics to my site and there are more to come.  Everyone getting ready for summer? Don't forget to keep a lil bottle of sunblock (high!) in your bag/pocket so that you can have the protection you need to keep your artwork looking fresh and bright!
I'm super excited that it's getting closer to July when I'll be doing my guest spot at Homeward Tattoo in Rehoboth Beach, De ~~ I've had a few inquiries on appointments so far & I'll be posting my schedule as it gets closer, but for sure it's the week of July 8th :)
Hmmm what else is going on.... Lots of big projects in the works and all good ones! Hope you are all doing well and see you soon!

What's new!

First of all, I want to thank everyone for their continued support! I seriously do have the BEST clients!!! Love all of you! We had a fab time at the Baltimore Tattoo Convention this year and I'm already looking forward to the next one. 
I am changing up my schedule a bit~ I am phasing out Wednesdays in favor of Mondays.  All existing wednesday appts will remain as is and I will now be available for both walkins AND appts on Mondays between the hours of 1pm- 8pm. 
I'm also excited to announce that I will be doing a guest spot at Homeward Tattoo in Rehoboth Beach, DE this summer.  I will be there the week of July 8th and will announce set dates/times as we get closer.  If you will be there on vacation, drop in and say HI!! If you want to book an appt w/me, just shoot me an email.  I'm hoping to do a lot of fun, small, beachy themed tattoos!

Fantasy Realism

When people ask me what kind of tattoos I like to do, or what my "style" is, I generally describe it as a fantasy version of reality, or in other words, what I'd LIKE to see as reality.  I like my tattoos to have a dreamy quality to them, bright in color, sharp in focus, but with an element of mystery and fantasy, a feeling of nostalgia.  Having said that, here are 2 recent pieces that fit the bill.

The first is a memorial piece for Sarah's father who was a deer hunter.  The second piece is a framed image of the Grand Teton mountain range, also a memorial piece.  Both images are in gold frames, capturing a moment in time, freezing a technicolor memory, lost loved ones in their final, favorite resting places.  Hope you like them as much as I enjoyed doing them.

Coffee or Tiki ?

Here is the latest installment of Debra's tiki & sweets themed leg.  One of her favorite vices is coffee, so she asked for a cup of joe with a tiki theme.  My first thought was to do a carved tiki mug but I later opted for a more delicate & feminine painted retro style china cup, instead.  We are both very pleased with the results, what do you think?
