LA Ink: 1st Anniversary

One year later and they are still inking. Your probably asking, inking what? Glad you asked. Mia St John comes into the shop and Corey has no clue who she is. I will say myself, I did not know that Mia St. John was still around. She mentioned she started boxing when she was 28 and she’s 41 now. Seems like she would be over the hill. Keep up the good work Mia. Oh by the way she got inked with the World Boxing Council (WBC) on her back shoulder. It was o.k. It should have been bigger, but Corey did what he could with how small it was. The Chiquita Banana dog was my favorite of the night. The lead singer of the All American Rejects has a 14 year old dog that named Chiquita and his thought was to get it tatted on his lower leg. The dog, appropriately named, was to emerge out of a banana peel. Hanna did an awesome job. The the sticker on the peel and everything. Very cool! Hanna does Kim! Get your mind out of the gutter, she tatted her. It seems that Kim had a very dark flower on her left shoulder that covered a tattoo that Corey had done on her many years back. Kim wanted it lightened up, so Hanna drew up all these flowers and vines and butterflies which were really bright and cheery. It was nice. I love this lady, Karen, who came in to get a tattoo to commemorate her 60th birthday and it couldn’t have been funnier. Karen keeps talking and talking about what she wants on this tattoo and you should have seen Corey’s face. He was waiting for her to add the kitchen sink. Props to Corey though, because he made it happen and it looked great. Party time! The crew got together for a very nice dinner and the original crew toasted Kat and the shop for being open for one year. Kat, congratulations and keep on tatting!
