Pink Tattoos


I had a blast today tattooing. First I tattooed lips. Of course the lips weren't really pink. They were deep earthy pink. And toned down from there. I'll share that picture when I have a healed one to go with it. Fresh lip pictures can be stunningly bright but it's interesting to see the fresh picture next to the healed picture.
And then I had the pleasure of tattooing a newborn baby girl's footprint on her proud momma's foot. Baby footprints are always a neat and gratifying tattoo to do but today stood out for me because I got to do it in color. It was a lot of fun.

I agree with you. I love traditional Japanese style tattooing. And so I like the strong design that outlines help create, but there is a place for no outlines and footprints would look goofy with an outline. And they are really fun to do because they are different from the tattoo work I do most of the time.
