Gild the Lily Tattoo

Super unprofessional of me to post this, but I'm going to postpone the raffle draw live video until tomorrow morning. If I'm entirely honest, I'm just so much more stoned than I had intended to get right now, lol. You don't want to see that, haha. Have a great night everyone, see ya tomorrow morning! - Emily G... #andthenigothigh #lockdownsilverlining #stayhomeorder #saturdaynight

Almost up! Ending on Friday at midnight and winners will be drawn live on Saturday evening. Due to how many hours and credit I've raffled and presold over the last year, this is going to be the last time is be able to do this for at least 2021, otherwise I won't make any money when we are allowed to open, lol. And I do want to take a minute of your attention to deeply thank everyone that's entered into the raffles and purchased during sales, this last year especially. It ha...s been the major reason I've stayed sane, not having to worry nearly as much about bills and such. So with complete sincerity, you're all very very appreciated and I just wanted you to know that your support has helped in an actual real way during this pandemic. You'll all be rewarded with the discounted hours and credit you've purchased, and the best tattoos I'm capable of when I'm allowed to open again. See more

Well, I might as well do a raffle/sale hours to help weather the Lockdown storm. $50 = $50 credit + 1 ticket $100/hr for 1-3 hours $95/hr for 4-6 hours... $90/hr for 7-9 hours $85/hr for 10+ hours (bonus: 2 tickets per hour purchased for 10+ hours bought). Regular hourly price is $120/hr. For every hour bought or $50 credit prepaid, you'll be given a ticket to be entered into the raffle. Winner can choose to split the hours as they see fit, if wanted. First place will be 25 hours. Second place will get 5 hours. Third place will get 2 hours. Raffle ends Friday April 23rd at midnight, and will be drawn on April 24th @noon. Credit/gift certificates cannot be used to purchase hours. Etransfer only to [email protected] Pm to notify me that you've sent the transfer, and how many hours/credit you're purchasing, and I'll pm back to confirm. :)

Before and during progress on this cover-up/reworking. The original pic was done by another artist. Another sit or two to go. May do a bit more greenery to fill out certain parts. All line shaded for an old etched, illustrative look. Make sure to zoom in to see that awesome detail. :) I cannot wait to see this one finished up.

Here's a huge and odd piece I've been working on. I honestly had no plan, and entirely felt my way through this one. I covered it with 2 layers of epoxy resin to give it a glass-like finish, but to be honest, I'm not entirely convinced it's 'done' yet.

Ok guys/girls, I'm heavily considering entirely resetting my books when we are allowed to open back up. Hear me out on this.... A good amount of people have had multiple appointments cancelled, and at this point I'm booked until May/June, without having rebooked anyone from this lockdown. If I bump everyone forward a bit, I feel like that would be a bit more fair than making the people cancelled on wait that much longer. It also gives me a chance to reset my schedule so I'm ...not overbooked and burn myself out like last reopening. I was fitting people in everywhere I could and it wasn't healthy. The stipulations I'm considering for initially prioritizing are: booking clients that have had multiple cancellations, and finishing started pieces. This is just an idea right now, let me know your thoughts and if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears. I know this idea sucks for those with upcoming appointments, but it's one of those things that I'm just trying to make everyone less unhappy overall about this unfortunate uncontrollable situation, and I'm hoping everyone is ok with a bit of give and take on this. Stay safe everyone!

I know we're still in lockdown, but *if* you could get a tattoo right now, what would you get? :)

Reverse painted glass. It's more satisfying than it is difficult. Love this finished product! :D #sailormoon #fightingevilbymoonlight #glass #glasspainting #anime #animepainting #newart #newmedium #finishedproduct

Attempting a time lapse art project video, take 2, lol.

Why yes, I did change it to be a MUCH better deal. Now you're essentially prepaying however much you want, and getting a chance to win free hours while you're at it. :D

Decided to stick with simplicity. Each $50 ticket gets you a $50 credit. :) Win/win!

Name covered-up on the shoulder with a memorial for Grandma. I forgot to take a before pic, luckily she had one.

Who wants a raffle? ;)

Good start on this leg sleeve. We've been doing a few outlines per session, for a long time, lol. It's finally starting to come together. Each session, we both have a stack of new ideas to add to this ever-evolving sleeve.
