This is also the continuation of my leg sleeve. I have some more waves to get, but for the most part it is done. I got it done by my very close friend Britney Goodman at Las Chance Las Vegas, NV. Shes an amazing artist, and I wanted her to do it, because this tattoo represents all of my friends, who have keep me anchored here, and alive. I went through some dark times and my friends are part of the reason im still alive. Thats why the script reads “You are my anchor”.
Camera Lens Tattoo - right forearm
Tattoo on my right forearm of a Canon camera lens.
Tattoo done over two sessions by Jimmy Butcher at The Butcher in Savannah, GA.
Photo by myself.
I had wanted a camera lens on my forearm for a few months, and after having Jimmy do the DFTBA tattoo on my right leg I knew he was meant to do this next. We worked together on the concept but both went in kinda blind as to what it would look like when finished. After a second session a few weeks ago to touch things up, I’m incredibly happy with how it all turned out. The colors are custom mixed and have a really sweet vibrancy in person. I couldn’t be happier with my camera lens. It’s not only a sweet conversation piece, but something that I’m proud to have on permanent display. :)

My Modest Mouse inspired tattoo. From the song “Fire it up” “..Like trying to hide the daylight from the sun” A yellow daisy in place of the sun an anchor setting it. I love Modest Mouse and I love my tattoo!
This is my first, and for now my only tattoo. I’d wanted one for ages but it took a while to decide exactly what I wanted, just something elegant and beautiful. In the end I took a few images into the fantastic Josh at Factotum in norwich, he drew this up for me and I loved it. It took 3 1/2 hours, I had to go back in the next day to have finishing touches put on, so it was pretty raw, but well worth it. There is no sentimental reason behind this tattoo, it is a piece of art and I cant wait to decorate my body with more beautiful pieces.

This is a cover up tattoo, if you look at the girl, in her hair is a Biohazard symbol, and that was my first tatoo. I plan on getting another Biohazard symbol again however.
Ship signifies direction. Lady is Lady Luck. Anchor is for stability. If you are in Phoenix, Arizona I highly suggest checking out The Golden Rule Tattoo.
