Would anyone be interested in a raffle for a tattoo from me? Say 200 for a baseball sized piece? 10 bucks a ticket? With the stipulation that you'd tag me in two Instagram posts and even if you didn't win you'd get 10 bucks or 20 bucks off your next tattoo?. Does that sound like a good value to you?

It was my pleasure to do the mom half of this tattoo! The daughter chickened out but I hear one of the other daughters might get it done.

Any of my boney friends know this one? I'm assuming deer but it's larger and wider than the deer skulls I've seen before. Also any tips on cleaning and bleaching it? Thanks
