Okay,,, got my order off for paint/stencils
and a couple a cans of adhesive ,,,,,
Now,,, let me see if I've got this straight,,,
this will be an assembly line operation as
they're funding the materials and $$$$
for me to run the assembly line on free tats
for a few hours,, so,, checkin procedures,,,
#1- clean area with alcohol
#2- apply stencil,,, spray
#3- remove stencil,, pop with powder puff
#4- holler,,, next !!!
Anything I'm leaving out ???
This is my first time on this,,, Please be gentle !!!
Anything I'm leaving out ???
It would help if I look like I know what I'm doing
when I get out there so figured,,, go to them that
know !!! This is gonna be a blast cause I'm thinkin
the wind is gonna do strange things with my
hair,, so thinkin about callin it "Wild Child Tats" :partyalone:
just to ease the tension a bit,,, should be fun tho !!!
Again,,, Anything I'm leaving out here ???
Thanks for any Assistance here,,, I'm needin it !!!

Whit, that is damn funny, sounds like an Army doctor doing flu shots, lol.......

I wish I could be there to tape some film of the event, what fun that would be!

That's pretty much it.... some paints (mostly metallics) don't have to be set with powder. But for the rest, the powder does make for a more "real" look, and help set the standard for care.

If you're using the same stencil over and over, just take advantage of a slow moment so you can clean off the paint build up.... or have a 2nd copy at the ready.

I let them pick the stencils,,,
8 sheets with 5 to 6 images each,,,
(figure images need cut to individuals)
and plan on making a large menue
with images so by the time they sit,,,
should know what they want !!!
Gonna number each for easy ID also !!!
Black will be the color of the day,,, but,,,
I'm gonna have a tip jar handy with a
couple a extra colors (red/blue/brown)
sittin next to it,,, hint,, hint,,, hint !!!
I've ordered 4 - 4 ounce btls of black,,,
1 - 4 oz brown,,, 1 set with 1 oz each
red/yellow/ blue,,, so that's the arsenal !!!
Got a BIG (after bath) powder puff
so should be a cloud of powder when I
pop it (makes for a good finale) so I guess
I'm set,,, gonna practice on my daughter,,,
just hope she does'nt get kicked out of
school with all this practice I'm needin !!!
You know,,, send her to school covered
with skulls,, lightnin bolts,,, tribals,,,
head to foot,,, she's all for it,,, but,, but,,,
well,,, you know,,, there's limits !!!
Anyway,,, should be fun,,, been awhile
since I've worked the public,,, could be I
end up runnin 'n sreamin before the days
out but it's only from 10 am till 4 in the
afternoon,,, and I figure some breaks in
there,,, gotta get me one a them turkey legs
to gnaw on an stuff !!!:partyalone:
I've got till mid April to get a mindset goin
and practice,, so it should work out okay !!!
Thanks for the verification on the process,,,
I'm feelin better already,,, kinda like jumpin
off a buildin and talkin yourself out of it,,,
just before you hit the ground !!!:party-smiley-042:

lmao Whit, only you missed the last step, you have to give a smack to the tat at the very end to set it properly, a tattoo is suppossed to hurt so this helps:rotflmao: :devil2: :whip:

On the paint,,, that's what I figured,,, but,,,
I can live with left over paint,,, other gigs !!!
On the power,,, I've got about 400 ft of hose,,,
so a good plug within that range will work,,,
really lookin for something within 50 ft so just
one hose needed,,, main thing is shade:violent-smiley-011:
I used to be a redhead,,, (before I turned Blonde)
and still have the aversion to extended sun !!!
Them freckles are murder I'm tellin ya !!!
I did pout just a lil when I put my demands on tha
table,,, an I've got that lower lip quiver down pat !!!
If all else failed,,, I was prepared to fall in the floor
and do a lil kickin 'n screamin,,, but they agreed,,,
now that was a relief,,, I'd a been hard to live with
if I'd had to pull the kickin 'n screamin bit !!!
Could'a been embarassin,,, a 65 year 'ol pullin that !!!
Anyway,,, their talkin about more set-ups throughout
the year if this one goes okay,, so I'm thinkin the paint
will be used one way or another,,, probably from my
daughters friends,,, highschool ya know !!!
May even become a highschool icon,,, start getting
phone calls from parents an stuff,, you know,,, popular:clapping2:
Well,,, Time will tell,,, I know it tells on me,, so,,,

(Oh you and your bragging - If I lived to be 65 my family would order an autopsy to see why I was still alive.)
