Keeping it hood

I’m thinking this is going to be a pretty long post, only because I haven’t had time to post more frequently, and also because there is a quite a bit of things to blog about.
I’ll start off by talking about the first tattoo I did. I was really hoping to get a lot more artistic with my first tattoo, but sadly enough I was unable to. The girl I tattooed on “Whitney” was wanting the “Anti-Christ Super Star symbol” as made famous by Marilyn Manson. I think I definitely learned some stuff about tattooing after doing only one tattoo. I’m just a quick learner like that, and  hands on approach only makes it easier for me. It’s not very good at all (I’m my own worst critique) but, eh you have to start somewhere.

Last week I had my knuckles tattooed on by Larry Owens of Psycho Clown Tattoos. I came up with the idea relatively quickly, I had a hard time keeping my fingers on the home keys in elementary school and what else but that to put on there. It’s not everyones cup of tea, but I could care less. I don’t see myself as a huge computer geek, but I must say I put in the hours so the tattoo fits me I guess. I already have plans or my next tattoo, which will be the first part of my sleeve. It’s going to be a bag of popcorn with maybe some film strips around the edges. I plan on going with a film/photography/tattoo theme, which should combine all of my passions onto my arm..

On the Fourth of July I we had some good times at The Clown. Long story short Kevin and I were shot with paintballs. After that the rest of the holiday was pretty fun, Kevin almost got “hood” on a certain someone, Kudos t Kevin for that! oh and we also got some good photos and film out of it too, for more photos on the fourth Check out http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=85961395&albumId=2218805
