How many of you zinesters would be interested in getting tattooed during the Chicago Zinefest this year? Im thinking about setting up a guest spot for an evening or two of Tattooing, just for you, depending on how much interest I get. Pass it on. Thanks!
Reblogging for my pal, Alana. We’re going to CZF in March (a now annual trip!) and she might be setting up a guest spot while we’re in the city.

[Photo of a drawing table covered in scraps of tracing paper. Each sheet of paper has several Valentine’s Day themed line drawings on it (rough drafts of tattoo art.) Drawings include a swallow carrying a letter, hearts and roses with banners around them, a skeleton key and heart shaped lock, a hand holding an envelope with a heart on it, etc.]
I shamelessly stole this from veryemergency’s twitpic account. It’s a photo of the Valentine’s Day themed flash she’s been working on. If you’re in Columbus, OH and looking to get tattooed, you should totally check her out. (If you’re not looking for tattoos, but you are looking for illustration work, you should also check her out. She’s recently started selling prints of her watercolors via an etsy shop.)
As per my earlier request, Alana (veryemergency) has designed a “SKATE MEAN, LIVE CLEAN” tattoo for me.
We are talking, like, a 90 minute turnaround time. This lady is a professional!

I don’t have to work again until Monday. I want to spend my days listening to 45s & embellishing shirts & shoes with embroidery.
