Circus tiger by Melanie! This is the first piece of Courtney’s fancy circus leg; pretty pony will be added next week! Very exciting!!!

Finished and healed cover up by Melanie! Before and after pictures (I hope that’s obvious). 

Made some progress on Daryl’s arm! Next up: more background stained glass stuff in grey.
Daryl is one of the most awesome dudes.

Beautiful flowers! 

Peonies and cute bugs by Melanie. This lovely lady traveled all the way from Saskatchewan to finish this beautiful piece! Aaaand she came bearing awesome presents.

Really thrilled about this one!

Also note, the stargazer lily (on back) is a cover up! 

Melanie did the outline (4-5 hours!!) for Melissa’s lace coverup! It was SO awesome having Melissa do a guest spot at Icon!!! Melissa did a gorgeous tattoo on Melanie’s back while she was here; we’ll post pictures when it’s done being itchy and peely. 

Melissa will be back soon (hopefully) to get her lace finished and do some more beautiful tattoos!

Melanie started work on this gorgeous Mucha-style monarch and milkweed tattoo. Love love love. 

Melanie got to finish Amber’s beautiful arm! 

Based on William Morris wallpaper designs. 

Note: cat and frame at center NOT done by Melanie. 

Marigolds and spiderweb by Melanie (tree on back not done by Melanie)

Drawings for Shyloe’s giant beautiful flower and bug piece by Melanie! 

Started this yesterday and Shyloe was a CHAMPION; sat for five hours on her side/ribs and would’ve kept going but Melanie had to stop. 

Will post some pictures of the progress when Shyloe comes back on Friday! 

Melanie finishing Michaela’s beautiful flower tattoo, and the finished product! We are very fond of Michaela and her lovely tattoo! 

COVERUP!

One of Melanie’s favorite tattoos she’s ever done! A giant cover-up on the lovely Katey. Picture taken after the first color session (apologies for shininess). Probably another four sessions before we’ll be done—color in remaining flowers, and a little more grey shading where necessary. 

Goodbye, Ben Franklin-ass cupid!

Melanie working on Michaela’s beautiful flower half-sleeve.

Pictures from Eastern Oregon! 

Our state is freaking magic. 

Pretty tattoo Melanie finished a few weeks ago! All in soft grey/muted colors. This one turned out lovely! Was battling shine in the photos (tattooers’ worst enemy in pictures), but hopefully between the three you can get a sense of it!
