Some highlights from the incredible @tattoo_heritage_project event we attended over the weekend, representing @avalontattoo_2 - it was amazing to see such beautiful art being offered for sale, meeting and chatting with our amazing peers, and legends like our boss @fipbuchanan @j_rudy_gtc @gtc_tattooman and @freddy_negrete all in one place (swipe to see Freddy showing off a still-bright Fip tattoo from back in the day)! Great night with great people, and I’m absolutely in love with the painting I bought, created by the super talented @ericramirez_pg - so grateful we could be there to support the tattoo community and raise money for the Tattoo Heritage Project!! 🙌🏽🖤✨ . . @joatwood @avalontattoo_2 @fipbuchanan @thegood.d.tattoos @connalcreates @tattoo_heritage_project @j_rudy_gtc @gtc_tattooman @freddy_negrete #tattooheritageproject #goodtimecharlie #gtc #fipbuchanan #jackrudy #freddynegrete #longbeach #avalontattoo #sandiegotattoo #sandiegotattooartist #tattooer #tattooers #artshow #artauction #supportartists #supporttattooartists #legends #community #roadtrip #workparty #dirtbags #grateful #artist #artistsoninstagram #tattooersofinstagram (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CktyoRaSitg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Progress shot of my tiger backpiece, being done by my boss, the one and only @fipbuchanan of the legendary @avalontattoo_2 - I’m loving the way it’s looking, but boy howdy that last session was a white knuckler!! These things really do seem to hurt more the older I get! Once more I’m humbled by the endurance of my own clients, and definitely embracing the age of numbing products!! Thank you Fip, for the beautiful work and for keeping our sessions to just 2 hours 🥴😰🐯 YEAR OF THE TIGER!!! 🖤🐅✨ . . @joatwood @fipbuchanan @avalontattoo_2 #avalontattoo #avalontattoo2 #fipbuchanan #sandiegotattoo #sandiegotattooartist #tattooer #backpiece #backpiecetattoo #tiger #tigertattoo #tigertattoos #wip #japanesetattoo #ladytattooers #tattooingtattooers #yearofthetiger #ouch #theolderigetthemoreithurts #slowandsteadywinstherace #dayofftattoo (at Avalon Tattoo II) https://www.instagram.com/p/CikrOiFJ0Xy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thank you, Fip! I can’t believe all this progress on my back is less than 7 hours of work: 2-1/2 hours on the outline, and two 2-hour color sessions. I love it so much, and am so excited to see the progress…you’re a legend, @fipbuchanan!!
