Apart from tattooing my wife and I also run a non-profit called
Mission 21 that is dedicated to the restoration of children who have been forced into a life of prostitution. The average age of entry into "The Life" in the US is 13yo. We do a lot of fund raisers and awarnesess events to teach people about how big and serious child prostitution is in the US. We're trying to open a safe house for girls, we already have an advocacy center open and run a street outreach campaign, but what we really need is a place for these kids to go.
Today we're a featured org at the Freedom Fest in Spring Valley so we stayed up last night painting some signs and stuff to put out at the event to try to attract some attention. I know this isn't a masterpiece or anything, I spent probably about 3 hours on the painting. I usually wouldn't want to use gray made from mixing black with white (it's so lifeless and drab, I like the gray you get from mixing complimentary colors much better) but I didn't have much time to play with more interesting colors on this one.
I had a customer come in to get a bunch of spot tattoos tied together with BnG filler. This was some brainstorming stuff I was doing to figure out how to fill the space. Kind of fun just scribbling and turning what you see into "something" what ever the something is.
