Last week, I was surprised the night before my birthday with the prospect of a triple session by Gordon Combs at Seventh Son Tattoo in San Francisco. My two besties and I opted in without hesitation and we loved Gordon's idea to paint matching matryoshkas: the Russian nesting dolls (that we mistakenly called babooshkas for about 3 days). Three dolls, three red hearts, and three brown-eyed girls - the bff trifecta. Some pictures:

All wrapped up before Jamie had to run off to class (silly grad student)

I was next up, though I didn't have a chance to take any photos of my foot Matryoshka in-progress. I think you understand why. So on to Shannon, last but not least! Gordon is also responsible for her sleeve...

Thank you to Gordon Combs for the exhilerating and tortuous birthday adventure. If you like what you see, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to book an appointment at Seventh Son Tattoo.
