Pictures taken in San Diego at the shop where Wane is currently apprenticing, Full Circle Tattoo. Check out more from that day towards the end of the slideshow.

The story:
On a Saturday Mark, Wane, and I wanted to catch the much-anticipated “Watchmen” at the Imax in Ontario. After being greatly disappointed, we made plans to go the next day down to San Diego with Wane to see him tattoo in person for the first time.

Wane’s first appointment was Fernando, the owner of a video store. Mark and I watched as Wane shaded in the tattoo he had previously done on Fernando’s thigh. By the look on his face it was apparent that getting a tattoo on your thigh was not a pleasant experience.

Wane finished up and told us that his next appointment was going to be more than an hour late.  Wane and Mark both decided it was time for Mark to get tattooed. In the past Mark had mentioned wanting to get a tattoo from Wane, but I don’t think it was his intention to get it that day. Without hesitation he took the spot and begun getting his first tattoo.
