"Jojo Bean: A tale of the small and Mighty"



Let me introduce you to my friend Jolene a.k.a Jojo a.k.a Jojo Bean, a.k.a Joj, a.k.a Randal. This girl is about 5'4'', probably less actually, and about 100 pounds. This was her first very tattoo, and before we started, girl was tripping out. She had given me total control on design, placement, size, everything. All her guy friends told her she wouldn't be able to handle which made her very fearful of the tattoo. However, once we started, she was totally fine. She was so good in fact, that in the 4ish hours it took to complete the tattoo, the only time she flinched was maybe 10 minutes into the tattoo when we hit her tickle spot. Besides that, girl just sat there like a champ. She's my new favorite person to tattoo and we already have plans for another.
