It's all about the blow......

Ok, so have done three tattoos this week.
I seem to have a problem with my length......

Although none of my tattoos have been perfect, I have never had the problem of blowing before.......
When a tattoo blows, this is because the needle is too long, the ink is being angled wrongly and has been pushed the wrong way through the skin.


I have apparently picked up all of these crap habits, just this week!
I did a cherry blossom branch today. I was really pleased with the second half of it - after the tattooist had told me to adjust the throw.

Have a look at the link to my flickr set of tattoo photos to see exactly what I am on about and a full description of what happened.
Kelly at work told me I would reach a point where I was thinking "I can't do it, I'm crap" and I seem to have reached that point today.

I don't have any more lined up for a while now and all i want to do is do another one and lose the blow habit!!

As well as that today, I am painting some signs utside the shop next door. Old fashioned curly writing - very nice. Got some sun on my arms......

Indiegogo fundraising site is almost ready - more details on that next time.
