My Husband Went to Miami...

and all I got were the pictures posted in this blog! Just kidding! While he was getting tattooed down at good old Love Hate Tattoo Studio (formerly Miami Ink), I was keeping busy in central Florida at Universal Studios! More on that later. Now back to Sean...

Chris Garver had started a back piece on Sean several years ago and they haven't been able to get together to work on it much since. Sean was always on the road with Hatebreed and Chris was busy with traveling of his own, as well as a TV show so it was hard for them to be in the same place at the same time. Until last weekend.

Hey Sean, after you finish your back, maybe we can do something about your front?Sean sat for almost 6 hours and Chris covered a lot of ground. Here's to hoping they get together sooner than later and we can see some more progress on this thing!

One Amazing Advertisement...

This gem is hangin in a frame around the bulletin board at my gym. Apparently if you pay the price you can advertise whatever you want. Today I'm going to call and find out how much they charge to tattoo a small child... at 3am.

Brass City Tattoo...

On Saturday August 8th, Brass City Tattoo had their "Welcome Home" Party. They were re-opening after about a year of being closed due to the hectic tour schedule of shop owner F.Sean Martin. Clients, artists, friends and family were there to enjoy food, drinks and good times. Here are some photos from the party...

Tin-Tin Tatouages...

Two heavily tattooed ladies vacation together, on their itinerary? The best local shop, of course! We decided we needed a "bro tat" and we were going to Tin-Tin's to get it. We knew it was a long shot considering we were just going to walk in. Lucky for us, the shop's manager, Rachel is the nicest I've ever come across. Not only did she make sure we got a tattoo appointment for the following day, but she also checked the open hours at a few tourist spots we wanted to hit, and recommended some great restaurants. Thanks again, Rachel!

We loved the Pere Lachaise Cemetery, and found our tattoo inspiration there. This winged hour glass is at all of cemetery's entrances.
Our appointment was with Alex, and here he is working on our drawing.
Tin-Tin showed up when Alex was just about finished with my tattoo. What a character! He made a game of guessing who did all of our work, and got most of it right. He shared pictures of his recent work, and invited us upstairs to his work space for coffee and "smoke". I just had coffee. Ha. The whole staff was super accommodating and very friendly. We had a great time.

Tin-Tin hard at work.

My tattoo finished.
