Tattoos

So since I just got a new tattoo, I figured Id share a good portion of mine. I have about 25 now, and Ive been getting tattooed for 3 years now. I think of all the lovely ladies I follow in these fashion blogs, I havent seen anyone with as many tattoos as I have.... am I the tattooed fashion blogger lolz? I love tattoos, I hate getting tattooed but love the end result. I honestly could talk about tattoos for hours, I love drawing them for people too. A lot of my best friends are tattoo artist and Ive always hung in tattoo shops, I know a lot about tattoos. I will try to point out who did what!

My top favorite tattoo and I get a lot of compliments on it, it was my 2ed tattoo. Tattoo by Lucky Mathews at Redletter1 in Ybor (Tampa), FL



The angel wings were my first tattoo. Tattoo by Scott at Imperial Iron in Brandon, FL. The huge geisha was done by Dan Fagan, owner of Imperial Iron. You can kind of see the blood diamond, that was done by Ed Powell at Blue Devil tattoos at the time, he now works at Knuckle Down Tattoos in Clearwater, FL. And of course you can see my newest tattoo The Lorax, by Lucky.


This is part of the Redletter1 flash set, and it was drawn by Jeff Srsic, he tattooed this for me, it was my first arm tattoo.


Jeff also did the camera, my photography tattoo. The candy corn was the Blue Devil halloween tattoo 2 years ago when I was working there.


Angelo Nales at Redletter1 is doing my sleeve. Its a Japanese folk tale of Tamatori Hime. I fell in love with the story, I saw it in my friend Jarrod's book. Ive only put 8 hours into it I still have a long way to go.


The switch blade was done by Esben at Blue Devil tattoos in Ybor, FL


Ok so everything on my chest and stomach was all done by Lucky Mathews of Redletter1. The roses and swallows on my chest are memorial tattoos for my Aunt Alicia and Uncle John. The 2 pieces on my stomach are flash drawings. Lucky has done an amazing job with my body. The diamond is a Thomas Hooper diamond, got out of his sketch book. I love him.


Ed Powell did this, its the FEST 6 logo lol. FEST is this big punk thing in Gainsville, and that flamingo is the best tattoo haha. Every time I see a picture of me with it I laugh.


The amazing Chad Koeplinger did this!!! I meet him at a tattoo convention in Orlando, I believe he is working in NY right now. He was in DC when I meet him.


Lucky did this for me, its called the Acid Moth, for my own special reasons lol


Lucky did my "The Specials" rude girl for me as well. I have about 12 tattoos by him


Esben did my Peggy Lee portrait! and the rotten orange (has an upside cross in it), I got that with my friends Bryan and Tom from the UK. The little pumpkin was last years halloween tattoo at Ed's shop.


Well those are my tattoos, I think thats all of them at least lol, I have an OM symbol on my wrist. I have several tattoos with friends and always want more! I have a bet with Dan Fagan that Ill be done by 25.... I hope I beat him lol. I cant wait to get more and I will always post them since tattoos are a huge part of me! Enjoy everyone! And if you're ever in Florida, I know where to get tattooed.
xoxo!

The Lorax, I speak for the trees

Hey! I got a new tattoo! I finally got my Lorax tattoo from Lucky Mathews at Redletter1 in Ybor(Tampa), Florida. This tattoo means so much to me, for the fact that I love Dr. Seuss and the story of "The Lorax".

"I speak for the trees, I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues and Im asking you sir at the top of me lungs!"










Please take a few minutes to watch The Lorax, his message is a great one.




I have loved this story for many years, and Dr. Seuss for as long as I can remember. I have been talking about this tattoo for years now, 3 years. I always told Lucky about it and well it only seemed fitting he do it. He's been my best friend for years now and he was the only person to do this tattoo, its really a special one for me by him.

Here are a few other tattoos of his that I have, I have 12 Lucky tattoos at this point.

Sailor Jerry flash


Acid Moth, single liner used


The Specials rude girl, thats how I want to remember my S.P.O.T. days


Old flash from "Flash from the Past" tattoo book

OK! Well its on my arm now lol, cant take it back, I love it more than anything right now haha. Holla everyone! xo

Im not losing touch

Hey everyone! What a lovely Monday it is! I feel great! I finally feel back to normal. After 2 weeks of partying and the hardcore 4 days in a row of going and going, I finally had to call it quits and recoup. I had the laziest weekend. I woke up today feeling like my normal self again! The sun was shinning and the weather is so nice today in Tampa, Florida! I threw this lovely number on my mom bought me, shes great.













What a great start to the day!!! I feel so productive its great. I will be painting all night now since I took pictures and am actually getting them posted the same hour! I treated myself to a lemonade capri-sun! The dress is so pretty! It has pockets too!!! Omg, if it has pockets it makes anything awesome haha. My mom found this for me at goodwill, she's convinced I do acid since I like Alice in Wonderland haha, so when she saw this she told me she thought Id like all the crazy colors and designs on it. Well aside from her theory, the dress is amazing! Its a little to big in the top so I like to wear the vest with it. As for shoes! I have been tossing around a few with this outfit, but I think Im sticking with the amazing Peacock shoes. No really, thats the brand, and color, how awesome!

I have had such a great start to the week, I hope everyone has a great one as well!! xoxo!

Lazy Sunday

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend. I must say Ive had the best 5 days a lady could have! Boy goodness the party got me thats for sure haha. Today is the ultimate lazy Sunday, I have stuff Ive taken pictures in and havent posted, so to continue with the laziness Im just going to post something I took a few nights ago!







On my last treasure hunt I found this lovely. Its a 90's Victoria Secret night dress, I thought the color was so pretty! I threw a leopard print cardigan over and some platform pumps. Its so soft to wear! And its got a pretty flutter at the bottom. A great pick up for sure!

Now here is where it gets funny. I figured Id let you all into my world of pj pants for the moment, here's what Im actually wearing today haha.


So fashionable right? LOL Owl socks, blue pj pants, leftover crack band tshirt and my Sailor Jerry sparrows hoodie...yeh Im really rocking it today. I got a lot of sleep last night so I was up kinda early. I love sitting outside and reading and enjoying a hot cup of tea, it was so nice out this morning. I love my little tea cup too, I want more!


Well I hope everyone has a great week to come! Ill be so busy I got lots of good awesome projects going on! Take it easy xo!

4:20am

Wow I really havent posted since the 1st? Well Ive done a lot this week haha, its pretty awesome. I feel like Im already starting to fall behind! Ugh! Well I will make this quick and get working on posting things!

After a long 3 days, this is just me chilling and it was 4:20am



My mom stopped by today, as crazy as she drives me she has been finding really cool stuff out at thrift stores lately for me! Today she brought over this amazing vintage Dooney and Bourke purse.





Yeh, great find haha.

BUT THERES MORE! Inside the purse, my mom found me another owl ring!!!! now I have 2!! I love it!






And Ill just throw this is, tonight I ended up at an Applebees! haha awful! but the hallway to the ladies room was long and had all these like amazing pictures of old famous people. I took a picture of Scarlet and Rhett, it came out bad but ah it was just nuts and I had a great night!



Lots of cool stuff coming!
xo!

"Teddy Grahams Great" Shorts!

I was lucky enough to get out of the house more then once this weekend! I got to go to this really great art show at the Orpheum in Tampa, Fl (Ybor). Seeing as I went treasure hunting and got some amazing new things!! I decided to wear my new denim shorts I got at goodwill.








Omg I completely forgot about these boots! Ive have them for 6 years and its like now they're totally in style. Meaning I was way ahead of the trends even back then haha. I remember too that my Grams bought them for me, and we were at Dillards. She always buys me the best shoes. She started my shoe obsession with a false pair of Ruby Slippers...but ever since she's always bought me the best shoes!


Well I started a new painting last night as well! Its almost done! I ended up wearing my shorts all night haha. The glitter owl was so much fun to paint now that I have all the paints and stuff! I didnt have any art supplies for awhile!

I have a lot of new stuff coming up this week! I completely cleaned my room! It was terrible, this was the hot mess I was sleeping with...

So needless to say it was time to pick up and put stuff away. Now I know where everything is and am making it more functionable to do stuff in the small space. I went thrifting and got some beauties! I'll be working on those all week!

Hope everyone has a good February!
