Title: Marriage
Post by: Estes on February 12, 2007, 01:29:54 PM
This has been posted in the squad forum, and as some of you may remember I divorced the ex and got full custody of my kid. That's all in a different thread awhile back. But, this thread is about the marriage of my new wife Kara.

Here's a picture from the wedding.

And another (not from the wedding)

And I'm sure it's obviously at this point as to what I do for a living. So, a picture just for kicks.

hehe I guess so.  

I assume you met when you did her tats?

Thanks Rip, and actually no. She had no tats before I met her.
But I did meet her in a similar way. She came into the shop with a friend of hers who was getting a tattoo.

LOL,

Congratulations!  

You do look twice your age in the top picture for some reason.  She looks better in the second one; in fact you both look great. The top one is a funny picture but man, my wife would clobber me if I posted a picture of her scowling.

Well, the demon on my hand I did myself. Some other ones of my forearms I did myself. I did Kara's tattoos. I do have some random drawings I scanned though. I can show you those right quick.

This is my latest drawing, which I had changed a bit to be my avatar. I'm sure there's a lot of you guys out there who can relate to this one.

 (http://img490.imageshack.us/img490/3418/workingclasseo4.jpg)

Heres a tribal tattoo I've done. I'm not a big fan of tribals, but its their choice.

(http://img490.imageshack.us/img490/9030/tribalon7.jpg)

Heres my newest tattoo, buddy of mine at another gallery did this one for me.
(http://img490.imageshack.us/img490/8518/wickedee6.jpg)

Here is a picture of me doing a tattoo. Meatwad will like this one, he can get a sneak peak at my master shake tattoo. :)

and another
(http://img490.imageshack.us/img490/6100/img81eh3.jpg)

This tattoo is a friday the 13th tattoo. The galleries do free ones, but you pick them out of a bowl. Your blind folded and can't see it until they are done. You just tell him where to put it. So this is how I got my rabbit. :)
(http://img490.imageshack.us/img490/549/rabbitiq3.jpg)

Heres a drawing of a motorcycle I did.

Not bad.

Niot a huge Tribal fan myself.
Ive seen some stuff I've liked others I didnt.

Too commonplace now as far as Im concerned

I have two. On my right Arm is an Eagle. But kinda cartoonish liiking I got out of some guys apartment when I was like 19.

Looked pretty cool brand new but  needs to be recolored.

On my left forearm is  a viking head which could stand a couple touchups but still looks pretty good after 20+ years

I've always wanted another but havent been able to settle on what.

I go by the motto is if you find somethig you like. Think about it for at least 6 months.
If you still want it after 6 months then get it

Problem is I havent been able to find anything I've still wanted after 6 months LOL

W used to have a guy around here. "Shotzi" or something like that his name was. the guy was a genuine artist in the purest sense of the word and did some of the best tatts I've seen anywhere bar none.

I've seen a few in magazines that were his equal. But nobody better.
The guys work was simply astounding. Both on skin as well as canvas

Last couple, I promise. lol

Here is one of my favorite tattoos I have ever done. Hopefully Skuzzy will let it pass.

(http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/4387/angelzr7.jpg)

Here is a closeup of the demon I did myself on the top of my hand. And for what its worth, top of the hand is a very painful place to get a tat. :P

(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/8286/devilxp8.jpg)

And lastly, a picture of Kara, Victoria and me.

AH didn't really. The big career change was I was just sick and tired of the IT field. And I was always a decent artist, so I went hardcore into improving my drawing skills. Went to West Texas A&M and got some art degrees and training there.

Then a good buddy of mine Jeremy (the one who did the flash tattoo on my arm) let me be an apprentice of sorts with him. Got me setup and started doing tattoos.

The angel tattoo is on a guy who served in the Air Force and wanted a tattoo like that. So really, thats the only one AH inspired.

The money isn't as good as I was making working in the IT field, but I'm making a comfortable living right now. And the money decrease didn't matter. I was just so happy to get out of that mess.

I was wondering if you had anything aviation related in the new career. Making less money isn't all that bad if you have enough to be comfortable and are doing what you want to be doing.
