After retiring a couple years ago from job as a Deputy Sheriff (heart probs), I was lucky enough to land a apprenticeship with a local tattoo artist. It is a deffinate change of pace from the SO (I went to the dark side) but I have loved every minute of it. My mentor and I just opened a new shop (Artistic Soul) about 4 months ago, it was a lot of work but it turned out great. Mainly as advertisement for the shop, we rented out a booth space at the upcomming Marion Popcorn Festival. We will be doing tattoos but wanted to offer airbrush tattoos for the younger ones also.
So it fell upon me to take a crash course in airbrush tattoos. I want to thank everyone on the site for their contributions, it helped with the many questions that I had by perusing through the archives. I have definately been busy making a bizzilion stencils (maybe a tad bit of an exageration but it does not seem like it). While practicing on my co-workers, friends, and kidlins, I found something out...the adults seem to like them just as much as the younger ones do! For laughs I made a couple diff Micheal Jackson stencils, which have went over well along with a few Marilyn Monroe and Lennon ones. The pics below are the Marilyn ones I made.
I am looking forward to the Popcorn Festival this week (10th-12th) and really think that it is going to be a hit. I will update and let everyone know how things go. If anyone is interested in taking a gander at my shop's page Artistic Soul it is http://www.myspace.com/artisticsoultattoos . Thanks again everyone.
