02-26-25 Marine Iguana
Today was pretty good. I managed to get many things off my list and I only have one file that I have to finish tomorrow which I know I can do. That knowledge allowed me to go to my rescheduled appointment from the beginning of January for my Galapagos tattoo. I showed up just before noon and saw Ferdy walking into the store next-door. I had been hoping to run into him and had sadly not made a point of doing so and I know that hurt his feelings as he didn’t know how I felt about all the things that went down while I was in Ecuador, I was able to look him in the eye and tell him that I was sorry that I wasn’t there that I would’ve had his back at things may have gone differently. I hope he truly believed me.
Jeff Fletcher of Inzane Artworks had a drawing ready for me, but it wasn’t quite exactly what I wanted so he said give me 40 minutes and I’ll redraw it and so I left with the knowledge he would text me when he was ready and within 15 minutes I got the text and headed back to find exactly what I was looking for. He had taken one of the photos that I took in the Galapagos and turned it into that creature on my arm. The only thing about it is that the mohawk type plumage that marine iguanas have on their heads, doesn’t show up in the angle of the photo that I took, but it’s the way that I wanted it on my arm. I wanted it to look like it was sunbathing on the rocks with its legs splayed out and the huge, long fingers, etc. well defined. he did such an amazing job and we had a very good visit and on top of it he also added 2013 to my Peru tattoo that I had done when I was there. He is a great human and I go as much for the visit as the ink. This one was #14, although not all by him
Once back at the office, I worked until quite late getting things done that I needed to before coming home and making a nice dinner and settling in to watch the screen actors Guild awards
