45 min into our shading session we had the only thing that would slow a tattooist down: a POWER OUTAGE. Our Achilles heel!!! ❤️‍🩹
As a tattooist who loves her coils, this was a strong Plutonian push to dive into using a pen machine. 

Tsugu lent me his @vladbladirons and Sonja and I carried out the tattoo. Couple of troubleshooting moments with handgrip and muscle memory tapping my foot switch, but overall was a great experience. And for travel ease, game changer.

**All the lines and grey clouds in this piece are one week healed, as Sonja was travelling back to back weeks from Tassie to see @hozier and @glassanimals
