A bit of an update.


It seems the majority of my clientèle is from outside of Upington, but then who am I to complain ;) 
Work is work. Here is a bit of an update.
It seems some people are really addicted, a week ago something on the inner arm now something on the back of the foot.
Well addiction it is, this was the same Capetonian with an addiction, back again, and it seems with her small stature she might be running out of space sooner then later.
It seems tattoos are therapy to some, this is in memory of her son.
If I ever tell you, do not put a name of a spouse, girlfriend or anything that you can sleep with on you please listen! This is what has to happen if you have to lose some of those huge Gothic characters.

Thankfully the ship seemed to have sunk the remainder of that relationship.
Always popular, and with so many possibilities on placements.
A little butterfly will from this day on carry one foot a tad lighter.











Until next week!

The Travelling Trio

A trio of 3 marketing gypsies showed up... All 3 of them from the Cape and surrounding area,
but they all showed up for their 1st tattoos, here is what they came up with.
Few things show as much as family dedication as a family crest. Excruciating amount of details but well worth the wait.
The second of the trio was the more devout one, the one who decided he will go for a crucifix on one of the more sensitive spots.
Lastly their little female companion decided for a Bible quote on the inner bicep, but took it like few men can!










This is why I enjoy doing what I do the variety of people you meet!
See you next week!

Upington

 A touch up done to give this dragon the black soul it needed. A few gruelling hours of hammering in that black but this is what turned out in the end.


 Originally she had the gecko on the one foot, now she has 2 extra phrases... What they mean is not actually something I can remember, so guess you will have to ask the lady in question.
 A little devil done about 15 to 18 years ago, well this devil went through some severe steps of evolution and transformed into a classic Sailor Jerry traditional panther.
A pair of lips, are they a hint of what is to come or what is expected?
