Funky fresh fox vs. funky healed fox. Show your math. No filters whatsoever.
Remember a long, long time ago when I used to do tattoos? A lot of people I know still do them. I bet it’s pretty cool. Here is a fresh vs. healed photo of a deer I did. Dope tats don’t mean shit unless they heal up and still look tight. No filters, just raw and uncut photos.
Thanks to those of you who have reached out to check on how surgery went yesterday. It started a bit fucky because I had previously been told to check in at 10am and surgery would be at noon. Then I got a call at 7:30am saying they were expecting me at 7 and surgery was at 9. So, by the time I arrived, we only had an hour to get all of the prep and paperwork done. Fortunately, the team at Allenmore knew how to hustle and the surgeon knew his shit. He expected the surgery to take an hour/hour and a half. When I woke up it was about 12:30pm. The surgery took close to 3 hours, and I was sent home almost immediately. From what I understand the surgery went well. The incision is much smaller than we thought it would be. Still not sure how many staples I have or what my recovery time will ultimately be, but I will know more in a week when I go to my post-op appointment. My arm is still very numb from the nerve blocker they injected, but the bruising and pain are starting to rear their heads. @atomic_ash_666 has been taking great care of me and the crew at @tsunami_tattoo_tacoma have been very supportive in making sure I am comfortable and stress-free while I heal. Thank you to those I’ve mentioned as well as my clients for being patient and understanding. I’ll be back before you know it.
Today I did the 2nd to last tattoo I will be making for several months while I recover from shoulder surgery. Of course it’s a cover up. Why wouldn’t it be? This is Sparta.
Had to take a quick break from working on projects for other people to work on something for myself. Thanks to my friend Luke who hooked me up with this old barber chair, I took a few minutes to breathe some new life into this thing. I reupholstered it with all new vinyl and then added a design to the back, a fresh new decal on the base, and a new knob on the adjustment bar. Cheers 🍻
