For a lot of it he was fine, but he said the sternum was terrible. Our artist is Jason St. Clair at Lone Wolf. I think he is a pretty incredible artist, he does great custom work. He was even nice when Travis was having a hard time staying relaxed. I don't think I'll be doing my chest anytime soon!

More nerdy tattoos!
We are a tattoo loving family over here, if you couldn't tell. Especially of the pop culture variety. Travis finally finished his zombie/graveyard half sleeve a few months ago, and got to start on something new over the weekend. I always thought he would be too chicken for a chest piece (because I am) but he proved me wrong and went for it! Here is the before. Warning, there are lots of pictures of Travis' chest in this post. Hope you don't mind. Ha!
Don't worry Harry Potter fans, he is going to get another deathly hallows symbol somewhere else.
Tattoo day means Haribo treats. They were out of my usual so I got these fish and they were good!
Stencil on! Can you see what he was watching in the mirror? It was on theme.
Here is it! First session down!
It is an Addam's family tribute. Two headed vulture with their family motto underneath. "We gladly feast on those that would subdue us." Yes yes, we know it isn't correct Latin. But it is the Latin they use in the movie, and that is the point. Travis LOVES the Addams family, the movies, the tv show, the comic, and the creator, Charles Addams. The haunted house on his inner arm is based on their house. I LOVE his chest piece, and can't wait to see it finished!
