New Tattoo - The Mad Hatter

So I went with my cousins to the Sydney Tattoo expo. There was more clean skins there then I had expected, I went presuming there was an abundance of bikkies, druggies and housos. Yes that was stereotypical of me but that is how i perceived a tattoo expo.

I had had this tattoo planned for so long I cant remember when I first started thinking about it. What the mad hatter means to me; Im a little crazy sometimes, but I'm passionate about what I do and want. He's hate also states, "InStyle 10/6" which funnily enough is my birthdate!

Artist was Jamie Sunday from Collective Ink Tattoo in Redbank Queensland. He was also the nicest tattooist there, he had open booking for the Sunday, and most other tattooist looked at what we wanted and just said "no". Patiently waiting! My cousins were behind the camera for most of these shots.

Preperation; applying the image and getting ready for the fun to begin!

In the beginning, Jamie starting the outlining of the mad hatter.


Outline done, this is about 45mins in to it, they say the outline is the most painful part of it.


Now to start on the shading. This poor artist sat like this for more then 1 1/2 hours!

All Done! What do you think? I think he is very very me! I need to get my nails done! This picture is a great reminder of that.
