Flickr

 Found my old Flickr account... wow. I can look some of these tattoos and tell you the stories... Some were quite sad, since there were a lot of memorial tattoos. The thing about mourning is that once you started, you'll never stop, and every memorial tattoo helps me mourn for my own group of angels as well...

Tamale vs. Tamale

I've bought tamales from two different stores in Waukesha to sample. 

The ones on the right were $3 a piece. The ones on the left were $1.5 a piece/ $18 a dozen. Chicken/poblano pepper and cheese on the right, chicken/pork on the left.

First thought for a tightwad like me was always " was I charged a tourist price?" However, I would not mind paying a premium for some gourmet tamales.

The ones on the right have dry masa, usually not my thing but honestly it had more flavor. The fillings were not the show but the masa was, and the fillings were tasty.

The ones on the left had smooth and wet masa and the meat were flavorful. Masa was not the feature.

For the value, I would buy from the ones on the left, but I am glad I tried the first place, even if it was more pricey. Hey, support your local biz, perhaps they really need it.

Out of cyber jail...

Black out tattoo

Armon, our ex-assistant manager many years ago, came to me with a project to black out his other arm; My mentor Bill would shake his head on this though, but time has changed. I remember he was trying to talk a gal out of getting a tattoo on her arm, but now that is not even a thing anymore.

I did a little research on the optimal stroke, speed, ink, and technique, the tattoo went through pretty smoothly. We did more then 3 quarters of lower arm all the way around in just over a couple of hours...

Next session we will be going from top down...

Back to Blog

I am back here again... I have to find a way to post my tattoo photos and Instagam just killed the shop account and mine might be next...
