Whisky got a Tattoo

This guys nick name is Whisky, and for good reason, he loves the stuff. So I whipped this up for him and tattooed it on. It was a fun piece to do, kept me on my toes. 
Rib Cage Piece - 1st Session
Posted in Main By Rickey on August 27th 2008
Well the client liked the piece and this is session 1. Just gray lines for now. Dude sat like a champ which is rare on ribs, they really are one of the most painful places to get a tattoo. Second session is already scheduled, I’ll post pics…
Finally got my digital camera back!

FedEx brought me my digital camera today, fully repaired, finally! So I snapped a pic (which doesn’t look much better than my crappy cell phone pics, I’m camera challenged.) of a piece I drew up for a client today. It’s going to have Arabic lettering running through it when I tattoo it on, assuming he likes this drawing.
I’ll be taking lots of pictures from now on. I need to start snapping pictures of all the piercings I do on a regular basis. I do them so much I just don’t think to grab a camera.
The New Shop
Posted in Life, Main By Rickey on August 07th 2008
Gee’s 2 is |this| close to opening the new shop. Kimo is at the shop today painting, then the floors and final touches. Yesterday a new parking area was paved, and soon the a/c system will be put in. They have really built an awesome shop, it’s gonna be the biggest in the area, almost 3,000 square foot.
I can’t wait to move over, we are totally cramped in the current shop. The new one has 5 tattoo booths, a piercing room, sterilization room, arcade, pool table, etc… It’s huge and awesome.
Now I just have to finish Gees2Tattoos.com’s template today and get the content rolling by time the shop opens. We have new business cards (by me), new t-shirts, new bumper stickers (also by me), and now a soon to be completed website.
As always, crappy cell phone pics. But I did finally mail my broke digital in to get replaced.
First Facial Microdermal
Posted in Main By Rickey on August 07th 2008
I finally got to do a microdermal on a face. This girl had one attempted once before by Mitch at Tribal Nations, but it didn’t work out well. I gave it a shot and nailed it. The first pic is fresh, the second pic is 4 days later. Healing great. Hopefully she comes back in soon and lets me check it out some more, and get more pics.
This was by far the easiest one I have done yet. It went in with no issues, and was seated perfect. I really like doing these, and people are very interested in them, but I still have reservations about doing them on the general public. Mostly I only feel comfortable doing them on people that have fully healed more than 2 or 3 piercings, and realize it’s a risk.
