It's been awhile since I've done a tattoo update. Today was my last official day of work, I still have a few friends to tattoo but today feels like my last day for a while. I'm still taking appointment and plan on being back sometime in August. It's bitter sweet. I like having the break but I know i'm going to miss the shop so much. It's such a good thing I only live a few blocks away.

Anyway, I thought I'd fill you in on some of my resent projects. please excuse the poor quality most the time I only have my Iphone on me and it's not the best for tattoo photos.

 We had an amazing busy week. starting with easter and finishing with beach days. I'm getting bigger and bigger ever week and totally ready to have this baby. only one more month left!!

Mia from Gilded Atrium  came to visit Hawaii a few months ago. It was amazing to get to tattoo with her again. I seriously miss the presence of another female artist in the shop. I dont know how we went from a female dominated shop to only one girl!!

Anyways, while she was here we got a chance to have fun out of the shop with a little photo shoot.  Mia is a natural so it wasn't very hard to get some great shots. I hope you like them

I'm the most pregnant!! hahah well I guess not the most but it feels that way. 8 months along. Its harder and easier this time around. Harder because i'm trying to run after a 15 month old all day long and easier because 'm not counting every single day not knowing what to expect. I am ready to have this little guy though. I cant wait to meet him and hug and kiss him. With Jovi I had no idea what I was in for. Part of me didn't even understand that the end result was me having this precious little life to care for.  I mean I knew i was having a baby and all that jazz but I couldn't fully comprehend what that meant until they handed her to me and I had a panic moment, "this was our child, my daughter and she is fully my responsibility!!!" this time I feel more prepared and I understand way better. That leaves way way more room for excitement.  I cant believe a year has come and gone already.
