Onko Sugoi-pelihalli Helsingin Malmilla tuttu? Halli on täynnä pääosin japanilaisia arcadepelejä. Melu on huikea, kun 80 konetta kaikuu tyhjässä teollisuushallissa, suosittelen siis korvatulppia! @irihasa.bsky.social ja @pauliinaru.bsky.social kanssa käytiin tänään pelaan ystävänpäivän kunniaksi! 💓
Irina and Apila playing Mai Mai arcade game. In the game you tap buttons around a circular screen. Kind of looks like a matching machine! Pauliina playing Ladybug arcade game. The game is 80s style, the machine has text in German. The game looks visually and plays like Pac-Man but the main player character is a ladybug. Pauliina and Lauri (only half of body shown on the right) playing dance rhythm arcade game Dance Dance Revolution. Pauliina and Apila playing Guitar Hero arcade game. In the game your controller is a plastic guitar.

The last tattoo I did at Studio Nokkasiili (and will ever make there)! The studio is closing down after this weekend.

Starting in March I will start working at my new studio (just Apila tattoo). 🩷

Half a year healed matching cat tattoos 😻
Two arms with matching tattoos, the lower Person’s arm has a black glove on. The lower person’s arm has the tattoo on the inner wrist. The upper person’s arm has the tattoo just below the elbow ditch on the inner side of the arm. The tattoos depict two fluffy white and gray/brown kittens cuddling. The tattoo is done in a cute cartoony style. The background of the tattoo is a pink shape.

The new tattoo studio’s walls are finally getting the paint they deserve! Turning the backroom into a Amppari popsicle dream! 🩷💛

Corner of the backroom with pink walls that have a highlighter yellow slither of color at the top of the roof line.

Touched up some maybe 10 year old tattoos on Ee! The old tattoos were not made be me.

There was keloid in some spots so I stayed clear of them not to irritate the keloid growth more.

Always happy to bring new life to old ink, even if the tattoo was not originally made by me.

#helsinkitattoo
Old nautical star tattoo done in black ink on Ee’s lower arm. Color faded in some parts. Freshened up nautical star on Ee’s arm while they are resting their arm on the tattooing arm rest. The lines sharper in the edges and the black color evened out. Old triangle tattoo on Ee’s lower inner arm made with black ink. The outlines of the triangle are done in thick black lines. The inside of the triangle is blank. Freshened up triangle tattoo on Ee’s arm resting on the tattoo arm rest.

Who remembers these Lots-a-lots-a-legggggs plushies from 1984 and 1999? I only had the pink tiny one as a child but now as an adult I have collected a few more!

Some of the ones from the 80s have a wild red eyes! 😳 I just remember the more toned down design from the 90s! 😅
Picture from living room. Four Lots-a-lots-a-legggggggs caterpillar plushies on a round coffee table. In the background is a sofa with balnkets and a disapproving small brown dog. The plushies from left to right: Orange ten legged one from 1984, Light blue chef caterpillar from 1984 with 8 legs, lilac artist caterpillar with a pink baret from 1999, small pink one from 1999 named Inky with six legs.

Ilokseni voin kertoa, että teokseni ”Viitostien varrelta” on ostettu osaksi Kuopion taidemuseon kokoelma!
Teos oli esillä Kutikutin Ruutujen kapina -ryhmänäyttelyssä lokakuusta 2024 tammikuuhun 2025.
Picture from Kuopio art Museum. Picture of Apila Pepita’s art piece ”Along Road Five”. 8 comic style paintings telling a story of North Savonia region. Paintings made with acrylic paint on MDF board. Picture taken of a corner in the gallery space, the walls are light purple colored. The paintings are placed on the floor, standing up like theater backdrops. On the floor is also a road shaped carpet running between the paintings.

Kävin eilen ensimmäistä kertaa elämässäni avantouimassa!

Oli helpompaa kuin pelkäsin! Kehosta lähti tunto, kun pulahdin jäiseen veteen. Henki salpautui heti ja kipusinkin pian takaisin ylös. Mutta silti halusin mennä vielä uudestaan!

Dascon hammaslääkäri meni hyvin! Tulehtuneet hampaat saatiin pois ja pappa pääsee antibioottien kanssa palautumaan. ❤️‍🩹 Oli vielä aika pöllämystyneenä kun sai opioideja. 😵‍💫 #rescuedog #romanianrescue

Desucon Frostbite taputeltu. 💙❄️✨
Oima annos nostalgiaa näin vanhalle anime-ernulle! Huomaa vaan, etten ole katsonut mitään näitä uusista sarjoista. Pitäis katsoa enemmän animea!

Kiva nähdä rakkaita ystäviä ja muistella miten on Desussa seikkailtu vuodesta 2011 lähtien! >w<~*

Teen erityisesti värikkäitä sarjakuvatyylisiä tatuointeja ja cover uppeja. 💙 Mutta myös esim. mustaharmaat ja tekstit onnistuu hyvin!

Dasco kävi tänään eläinlääkärissä. Verikokeiden tulokset oli hyvät, joka on aina huojentavaa näin vanhan koiran kanssa! Ensi maanataina hammaskeiju tulee käymään eli eläinlääkäri vetää 2 hammasta papparaisen suusta. 🦷🦷🧚🏻

Tatuointi lapsen piirroksen pohjalta. 💖 Vaihdoimme hieman kimalteiden paikkoja. ✨ Mutta alkuperäinen taiteilija oli kuulema hyväksynyt muutoksen! Huh! 😮‍💨💚
