A #10: Strength Kanji on Grapefruit 29/30

Title says it all. These solid figures are the easiest, for sure. Still, I'm glad I practiced the three types!

A #09: Tribal Navel on Grapefruit 27/30

This was fun. I drew the design on the fruit with a pen (which is standard procedure now, since the stencil paper does NOT work on fruit surfaces or the wax they coat them with). I inked the outlines with black, using a 5 round needle and filled everything in with my brown ink. What was surprising was that even though I shook the ink before dropping it into the cap, it looks so light! If you look closely, you can see a few dots that I colored with the brown without outlines, and it's just a little bit darker than the skin of the fruit to begin with. I guess if you're looking for a tattoo color that wouldn't be noticeable from a distance, yet still has a unique feel to it, use brown.

A #08: Copyright Symbol on Grapefruit 26/30

The tattoo says it all. This grapefruit is now copyrighted, and may not be copied without prior consent under penalty of law!

Kick ass.

A #07: Tire Tracks on Orange 23/30

I've been wanting to do some tracks for a while. I hope that some day, someone will want to get something like this on their back or something. It was a bit tedious, though. I want to make larger stuff... So tired of small-point and minute details. It kind of hurts my hands.

A #06: Tribal Frog on Orange 22/30

Got this design off of google. Tribals are so much easier than other designs... But man, they take a lot more ink. I got sprayed in the eye during this one!

A #05: Flower and Vine on Orange 19/30

Small one. I used the single again for outlines and small corners, but filled in the rest with a 3 round. Pretty cool!

A #04: Character for "Kind" on Orange 9/30

Again, it's simple. Good thing I let myself have room to do simple tattoos during this challenge.

A #03: Character for "Fire" on Orange 8/30

Simple. Easy. Looks great. I even wrote "fire" next to it.

A #02: Red Sun on Orange 2/30

This time, I didn't even try to use the stencil directly. I used a pen to draw the basic idea and let 'er rip. I am sure now that the stencil will not work on the waxy surface of an orange. Abi told me I can practice THAT on her. After this coloring experiment today, she also said she almost wants me to fill in her heart. Not far from now, I'll feel confident to do so!

A #01: Tribal on Orange 1/30

As opposed to the apple, this was a much rougher surface. However, it allows the design to stay in better! All I'll say with that is that I'm glad the needle was able to be reused from the apple. Hopefully, the apple didn't have any STDs.
