I figured since I always have bass thumb, might has well get one permanently etched on me.....
Made plans with the infamous Ben Grillo to get some ink done at the "Ink and Iron" fest in LB at the Q.M..
His single needle work is INSANE. Lots of time, effort, and detail into every penny, dime, quarter, and bigger size tattoos he does. The man, the myth, the legend himself, and moi before hand....
Decided on a "thumb sleeve" to start my inshore sleeve. What better way than a Cali on the thumb? The stencil....

The color, shading, lines, cleanliness, detail, all with single needle. Took almost three hours, and was worth every painstaking second.
This will start my inshore sleeve. Kelp, senorita fish, hali, cbass, sculpin, etc. all the way up to my underarm.
I dont pimp much pruduct, but you have to see his work in person...INSANE!
Oh yeah, Abrahamson, and TP (a stick) at the wine tasting at the restaraunt all you losers missed....LOL...
