Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[Kurgana]

Hey everyone! I was going to post about having been busy (got 3 new puppies this year!) and me having been on a bit of a tattoo hiatus since my last post but then I realized 4 tattoos since April can't really be called a "hiatus" 😁.

Sure, I would have liked more, and they may be small(ish):

First off a fun little Studio Ghibli handpoke (actually it kind f ended up being two separate tattoos, Totoro/No Face on the back of my ankle and the little soot sprites (small one is about 1cm wide, excuse my blonde monkey hair) on my arm) by Serena Raccuglia. This was a "couple tattoo" to borrow a Korean expression, as the hubby got a matching one, with both Totoro and the sprites on his wrist.

Then the double trouble - mammoth skull on my right forearm, by Alessandro Caponetto, and the pretty (but impossible to photograph by myself) moon/peony blossom on my left shoulder by Claudio Romeo, done at Sick To Ink in Palermo, Sicily. At the same time. Such a fun way to spend a morning 😊.

Last but not least, on Friday I got my first tattoo at a convention: a very cool sacred heart by Vanessa Corsale. 

 

Edit. Totoro pic pinched from tattooer so freshly done, everything else healed, except for the last one obviously (currently with pretty scabs on the yellow and peeling elsewhere)

Thanks, this is my third tattoo from her. She's great. She's also pretty young so I expect it will just keep getting better.

My new tattoo of the great romanian comedian Dem in one of the best comedies ever (Brigada Diverse), with some additions
Done by fantattoo , on Day 1 of the International Tattoo Convention Bucharest. Also won 1st place on "Best of old school", so that's very cool

Aaand my 2nd tattoo in the Bucharest convention, Hannibal by Goran Micic :)

Hannibal Lecter: If I help you, Clarice, it will be "turns" with us too. Quid pro quo. I tell you things, you tell me things. Not about this case, though. About yourself. Quid pro quo. Yes or no?

Healed pic of tattoo got done earlier this month.  Was quite impressed was able to get this pic by myself :)  It's a Honda CB Twin Motorcycle, done in memory of biker friends who recently passed.  It has healed so beautifully and I am beyond happy with it :)

Done on my inner right thigh, by Tommygunn, Belfast City Skinworks in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
