Tattoo Talk &junk

This above photo is from last weekend when my dear friend Monkey was visiting. We went to a playground to take photos. It was too hot for me so I ended up trying to hide in what little shade the slide provided LOL. That's why I'm so white...

I drew these throughout the week. They're daruma dolls or dharma dolls. Supposedly, they bring good luck. I'm getting the yellow one tattooed on me this friday. I can't wait! Which do you like better? I'm thinking of getting the red one also, a little later. 

This is the latest addition to my etsy shop. You can buy it HERE!

My friend getting tattooed. She was in pain haha. 

The finished product! Well, the finished lining. Colouring will be done in 2 weeks after it heals. She's obsessed with Snow White. I'm not a fan myself, but I do love how this turned out! 

Tattoo Tuesdays

I've been drawing for my portfolio quite a bit because i'm hoping to get an apprenticeship when I move to New York in April. Wish me luck!

But here are some of the tattoos that have been inspiring me lately! 

Also, I don't have the link to the original sources, unfortunately, as most of these are found through fyeahtattoos on tumblr or google images. If you know the source, please tell! :]

Do you have tattoos? What are some tattoos that you want in the future?

REVIEW: Beauty and the Beast 3D

I am a huge fan of this classic Disney movie. My absolute favorite prince and princess. I can relate to Belle so well! Big dreams, head in the books....that's me. Anyways, I have a strong distaste for 3D but this is one movie I couldn't pass up. Somehow I convinced my boyfriend and three of our guy friends to tag along with me to see this film. (Alcohol after the movie probably persuaded them.) 

Along with the movie ticket purchase, I received a free Commemorative Lithograph postcard!! I got THREE because I was so excited the girl gave me two more. I will do a giveaway for two of them later on! (More on that in another post). 

Once we got inside the movie, I was so excited I could barely sit still. The songs from the movie were playing in my head, taunting me. However, once the previews started my anxiety was subdued. There are SO MANY good movies coming out this year!! The Lorax, Star Wars 3D, a Miyazaki film, etc! 

Finally, the movie started. Or, I should say, the Tangled Short that I've been so stoked to see. It was hilarious! I wish they would make a Tangled 2, even if it did end up being straight to DVD, like most Disney part 2 movies. 

After the short ended, Beauty and the Beast began. The updated graphics were so great, I noticed things that I've never noticed before on the gritty VHS that I own. I won't sit here and review the actual movie since most every knows it and/or has seen it. However, I will say that the 3D itself was not that great! There were not that many things that were "3D-ified". Meaning...mostly everything was flatscreen. So basically all they did was updated the graphics. Which is good! But I wouldn't have paid $12USD per ticket if I had known that. 

Overall, it was worth it for the excitement level, learning of new good movies coming out, and of course the Tangled short!

MOVIE: 5 of 5 stars!

3D EFFECTS: 2 of 5 stars

GRAPHICS: 4 of 5 stars

OVERALL: 3.5 of 5 stars - meaning, wait until it comes to DVD so you can save money!
