I was back in New Jersey, tattooing at Electric Tattoo in Bradley Beach. My first and biggest day was Easter Sunday. My clients came all the way from New York and they brought me an easter basket (with lots of candy) vegan chocolate/mint cupcakes, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and a picnic lunch!

Those last three I did the first day! We finished around 11pm. I think all that candy helped!

Here’s a nurse I did on Laney last year:

And here’s what we added this year. It goes all the way around, but we didn’t quite finish:

I finally finished Jason! I did everything but the lettering. We finished this piece in three sittings. That’s because Jason is a stud and can sit for up to 8 hours!

I love the area around Asbury Park, the people and especially Electric Tattoo. I can’t wait to go back in october!
