word. been a while sine i have updated it seems.

my trip to the montreal tattoo convention was lots of fun.
i wasn't able to get tattooed by kim saigh, but i didn't manage to get work done that i am very happy about. so i am going to throw in a bunch of pictures to make this a fun blog to read.

but before i show you pictures i am going to take you back in time to when i was at the halifax tattoo convention, because i don't think i posted a picture of the work that i got done while i was there. so here it is:



my jesus saves praying hands.

and now on to the montreal part.





ah the neck tattoo. painful and uncomfortable. the original plan was to have me on the bed lying down, but the other artist that was with the guy i was getting the tattoo by gave it to someone else. so i had the fun time of sitting like this for about an hour and a half. both me and the artist had fun trying to figure out the best position. his back was killing him.



this is a picture taken with a polaroid land camera. it was taken by scott g toepfer he is friends with the dude that did my tattoo. this picture could look better, but it is a picture of the picture...since my scanner isn't cooperating.



finally i get to lie down so he can get at my neck better. the tattoo took 2 hours and i spend the first 1.5 in the chair. ugh.



the finished masterpiece. my decapitated unicorn head with the union jack british flag.
tattoo by: adam turk
shop: left hand black tattoo in san diego



i went back the next day to enter it in the best small colour contest...came in fourth.





me being a nerd in montreal.

alright i guess that's all for now.

i would also like to admit that i am very addicted to farmville on facebook. it's pretty sad.

and if i don't have you on FB yet use this address to find me, just give me a heads up f you do.
