KAT’S SOCK MONKEY TATTOO ADVENTURE GALLERY: March 8, 2010

In her continuing quest to promote OPERATION SOCK MONKEY, Kat brought in a sketch and got her [first] tattoo on March 8, 2010, at Capstone Tattoo 712 Robson Street, Vancouver BC.  604 202 8459.   Jay made it an amazing and easy experience!  He is a very talented young artist, and Vancouver is lucky to have this world traveller take some time to stay put here.

Casey (tattoo artist extraordinaire) shows a wonderful empathy towards youth and reaches out to the community in the spirit of giving back. Jay and Casey  have now been introduced to the world of the Sock Monkey- no turning back now, boys!  On March 9th, Kat dropped off a sock monkey to the shop as thanks and to spread the word.

The photos of the tattooing process were taken by Julian Bowers (the jpgs are large, so may take a few seconds to load if you click on the thumbnail).

Following the photo essay is a sampling of watercolor tattoos by Kat on KLASS art therapy students.  Tattoo imagery inspires and is a great source for art projects in the art therapy room.  For more art therapy tattoos beyond this page- visit: MORE TATTOOS

Thanks, Jay!!! - Kat
