Tattoo By Meg Newsletter #1
Monday. August 22, 2022.
Hi Everyone :)
So thrilled to see so many of you join the newsletter!
I actually have this whole week off work to host my older brother in town & to take a much needed break. However, if you know me - break means drawing constantly, creating content, brainstorming tattoo ideas, painting… and an occasional sun bathe by my pool.
Hope you are having a great start to your week too!
Now lets jump into it :)
Personal-
Elijah - my boyfriend- and I officially started pottery wheel classes at Ceramics in the City. Right by the Wolf Den shop on E Colfax. It was so much fun, and our instructor Alex was so quick witted & a delight. Highly recommend booking your own time at their studio soon - it was great but they fill up fast! They also have pottery painting and clay hand building, so cool. 10/10 experience.
Tattoo flash/design updates-
This week since I do have time off, I hope I can post more complicated & varied designs for you all. Ryane (who you may know as THE Wolf den owner, Badass tattoo artist, my boss, boxing legend, or the human driving their yellow motorcycle around Denver) and I have been discussing posting more color tattoos and other tattoo styles! As a student, I still would like to dabble in all sorts of styles before honing in on my specific “style”.
Working on a realism greek sculpture inspired piece maybe incorporating a color/realism flower! Working on some insects and some realism fruit tattoo designs. *fig and insects not yet drawn, just brainstorming*
This weeks tattoo tip:
If you are getting a tattoo done, the more you moisturize the skin/area leading up to the tattoo the better! Its actually easier to be tattooed, easier on the artist to tattoo, as well as faster to heal. Especially in Denver, the climate is so DRY.. you have to be even more mindful :)
A couple Pinterest images I am obsessing over this week :))))) *artists unknown*
Wolf Den Studio Updates-
BIG NEWS! The Wolf Den tattoo studio has welcomed a new artist soul into the wolf pack fam <3 Her name is Ashley, I am meeting her this coming week officially. She is super talented, kind and looking to do some realism and black/grey work as well.
I can’t wait for you all to fill her books up too! I look forward to bonding and learning from her at the Wolf Den. IG @ashleylorrainelimon
