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!
