I've had a busy, inspiring, and productive week. Last weekend I was at the Kamloops Tattoo Show. I got to meet lots of artists, talk tattooing for most of Sunday, meet a couple of local clients, and work on two fun Star Wars tattoos. That's always a win. I came back feeling inspired and, after a couple of relaxed days, got stuck back into some large-scale projects that I'm really enjoying. Good projects with good people. Yesterday I tattooed this Spider-Man piece as part of Wil's sleeve. I'll add photos below in case anyone has questions about the tattoos or the process. What was your biggest win this week? It could be anything: Finished a tattoo Landed a new client Drew something you're proud of Took a step toward becoming a tattoo artist Simply showed up and did the work Big or small, I'd love to hear it.
