Afghan Hound Tattoo by Gary Pirisi at Windy City Ink

The Journey Continues! SUPER EXCITED about the new tattoo! The full sleeve is starting to take form! This is based on one of my favorite photos - an Afghan Hound I met spontaneously in New York City. To me, this photo represents the expression, "Dogs are people, too!" Dogs are capable of a similar range of emotions that human beings are...which is why we relate to them and why they relate to us. T...he expression in this photo has always confused me and amazed me, giving me further inspiration to explore and embrace the personalities of our canine friends to the best of my abilities. Special thanks to Gary Parisi of Windy City Ink Tattoo for bringing this photograph to life. Gary is an extraordinary talent and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to work with him!

Pip & The Baby

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Pip & "The Baby" - obviously two awesome names and two awesome cats.  Pip loves playing the fun game of "I am going to hide under the bed until the end of time", but Pip's family prefers to play "Let's just put Pip in the bathtub (no water) so we can keep Pip from hiding under the bed". Everybody played both games and everybody won and also lost. "The Baby" likes to play the game called "Take my photo now because I am a star", so naturally she appears in more of the photographs.
