Getting tattooed today & other news

I'm getting the last of this tattoo hopefully finished. when it is I'll put some pics on my blog so everyone can see the finished job of my tattooed sleeve. Today session is up near my left armpit and in the crook of my left elbow. I will be glad when it is finished.. and hopefully it will be fully healed by the time I get to Sydney for OzmmMeet. The only problem is today and part of yesterday I have a fricken migraine.

On other news: I have finished and sent to my beta reader James A. the first book in The Gaean Prophecies: Admetus Gaea. From there it will go to Cinders O, before I submit it to a publisher.

I'm now back working on The Connelly Chronicles: Beautiful Goodbyes. I'm hoping to have it finished before NaNoWriMo starts in November.

I Am Away Tomorrow...

Tomorrow I will be spending another awesome filled morning sitting in Ted Saddo's tattoo chair at:  Sink The Ink Tattooz. I'm getting the next instalment on my horror/cartoon sleeve. we are getting closer to the end. I'm hoping to get it all finished before I hit Sydney in October for the OzmmMeet.

I bought my new financial year diary today... the only one in the style I wanted was pink. Not a colour I would normally choose for myself, but beggars can't be choosers as they say. Well, at least I won't lose the damn thing. Last years I lost quite a bit, it had a tendency to blend into the desk top as they were both mahogany.

My new computer tower arrives on Friday at some stage. The nice guy who is putting it all together (Bob) is just adding all the programs I want. I can't wait until the damn thing is installed and then Em will be happy she doesn't have to share the laptop any more. Even though it's my laptop.

A Little Piece Of Me...

This is what I got done yesterday - I lasted three & a half hours before I made a complaint and had to put a gold coin donation in the Whinger's Jar. Though Ted did use a different machine on me yesterday and I'm hoping I heal a lot better than I usually do.

Emily is sick = what we thought was a common cold turns out is her throat is closing up each time she coughs = that kid can't do anything by halves. Nothing life threatening just enough to be annoying as hell (for the whole family).

Sadly due to time constraints KB my awesome editor from MLR no longer edits  full time so I am patiently waiting and nervously biting my fingernails awaiting who my new editor will be. Even though it was sad to see KB leave - I am kinda excited and scared all at the same time about getting a new editor - because we will have to learn each others idiosyncrasies. And the new editor will realise just how bad I really am at punctuation - (so I ask for your forgiveness in advance).

Other than that I am doing okay - today I'm pulling out something and I'm just gonna start writing - I don't even care what it is - as long as I'm getting words down in a doc then I'll be happy as...

Getting Tattooed Today

I am booked in for a lot of hours... we are attempting to finish my tattoo sleeve... here's hoping that we get it finished... so if you are looking at me I will be at Sink the Ink Tattooz I have put in a link if you want to check them out on Facebook. I am getting the last of scarecrow girl done and the rest of the background put in.

This is my wicked awesome chainsaw girl.

This is gothic zombie girl is an original one of a kind Ted Saddo piece.

This is my evil gothic cat (looks even better with the background behind him.)

This is kind of like the last part of my sleeve... with just a few changes to tie her in with the rest of my arm. I call her the zombie scarecrow princess.

And last but not least, this is the guy who will be inking my arm... The awesome Ted Saddo... and for those of you who don't know he's my big brother.

Getting Tattooed Today...

Today I'm getting Tattooed at

Sink the Ink

By the awesome & talented

Ted Saddo

Press on the shop name link and you can go take a look-see at what they are all  about. heck you may even see some of my other tats there as well as Emily's and my hubs.

My Tatt is similar to this one but where as she holds pumpkin goo mine doesn't she holds a human heart... mainly so she matches in with my other horror/paranormal/gothic pictures in my full left sleeve.

The beautiful artwork was done by

over at

Getting Tattooed.

Getting more done on my tattoo today. The part Ted will be working on and it is up near my left armpit. Hope I don't laugh to much. (Yes, I'm ticklish) so I kept laughing when Ted did the outline. I will be back tomorrow. I am having a picture of a Cinderella type of scarecrow holding a bloody heart in her hand it will so go with the rest of my Halloween themed sleeve. 

Last part of Tattoo sleeve...

 Okay, so for the last part of my Tattoo Halloween sleeve there is going to be a scarecrow Cinderella type girl. Oh, and there will be a shitload of bats added - just cause I love bats.

 I am very ticklish so I couldn't stop laughing when Ted was tattooing u near my armpit. I will have this whole sleeve done by the time I get to GRL in October. Honestly I can't wait for it to be finished.

 The counter guy (Rodney Rocket) picked what we used as inspiration so my arm has been a collaboration of all who work in the shop Sink The Ink. Luckily, I actually like the stuff that is put on my skin.

 I have been asked what am I going to do when I am older and I am covered in tattoos... my reply was, "Have colourful wrinkles." I mean seriously, what else can you say? I think a lot of my generation are going to get old and covered tattoos so I will be in great company. Well that is my ramble for the day - I will make sure I post the actual tattoo when it is done.

I am Away Today - Tattoo Convention

 Okay, the Bottom two are Emily's tattoos, mind you they have now been completed into a half sleeve. as have mine... I will post some more pictures when then get released by Sink The Ink - Tattoo and Body Piercing. Wish us luck...

 We should almost have out full sleeves done by GRL...

Em's Week of Music - Friday

  I am posting this song because I really like the film clip... it is bloody awesome. The picture below is Mum's new tattoo... it is her Evil & Ugly Gothic Cat... Part of her Paranormal/Halloween arm.

Awesome According To Me

Today I've posted two of my tattoo's, it is work in progress eventually it will be a full sleeve, the theme for this sleeve is the DAY OF THE DEAD, the above tattoo is my inner arm it has been completed... for now 

At the moment the outside of my arm is being done, I'm pretty excited I almost have half a sleeve  my next session is on the 10-08-11, so the hair should done then....


The Day of the dead is Mexican inspired, it is how they paint the faces of the dead people

Tattoo Time.

Just thought I would share a little piece of me:

I know I was talking about my Tattoo the other day so I thought you might like to see what I was actually talking about.  This is 16+ hours and I still have another session on it.

This is on the same arm and was the beginning of my sleeve... this took 15+ hours to get this far. I am supposed to have the whole arm done by next March.

This one was my first Tattoo I ever got; it was 28+ hours and all done free hand... I had actually planned on getting a tattoo of David Bowie, but got talked out of it (He will be incorporated into my next full sleeve).

My one and only piece of advice if thinking of getting a tattoo is to think carefully as tattooing is for life... make sure it is something that you like... Hence the reason my other arm will be filled with beautiful according to me.

Ted Saddo of Sink The Ink; is not only a wonderful artist, he is my big brother.
