English Dan PART 2: The Frida Tattoo, Granville Street #Tattoos, #Vancouver
Recall part 1: meeting English Dan I was so honored to have English Dan interpret my drawing of Baby Frida in a tattoo. GLORIOUS! Again, I’ll let the photos speak for themselves: The inspiration: “I am in my nurse’s arms, with the face of a grownup woman and the body of a little girl, while milk…
English Dan: tattoo artist, Granville Street #Tattoos, #Vancouver
Huge thank you to English Dan for graciously allowing me to witness the process of inking Jay Fisher. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves: Looking forward to Dan’s interpretation of my sketch for my Frida Kahlo tattoo next Saturday! I give him free reign! “I am in my nurse’s arms, with the face of…

Tattooing- step 1: plug it in and embrace beginner-hood.
Recall the purchase of a tattoo machine, getting to know the machine and tattooing- taking it seriously. My schedule has been so full of late that I haven’t had a chance to start up my machine until today. I am a beginner of the most beginner kind but we all have to start somewhere! I have dedicated…
Tattooing- taking it seriously. #sanitation #disposables #bloodbornediseases
Recall the purchase of a tattoo machine and getting to know the machine. Now it’s about getting my chops back up on sanitation etc. It’s all about learning about autoclaves and disposable parts etc. It is possible to do a 100% disposable tattoo. You can use single use needles and bars. Throw away the grommet that…
Getting to know the tattoo kit slowly, savouring, taking my time.
Recall the purchase of a tattoo machine. Stencilling is fun and satisfying when transferring it to skin, but kind of awkward and not ideal. My sense is that I will be drawing my designs freehand directly on the skin as I want to emulate my drawing style: But I do love the look of a discarded…

What a night! Fa* Friday at @Oasisondavie- it was all about the FANS
Jay, Carlitos and Fabricio performed last night with DJ Adam Dreaddy at the controversially named FAG FRIDAYS at the OASIS on Davie Street in Vancouver. I had the pleasure of painting 10 giant fans last week (see some details below) for the venue as decor and spending last evening getting the boys ready for the…
