Steph's arm

Here is yet another sneak peak of a sleeve that is finally finished-yay!  We finished Steph's arm today in our last marathon session.  This will additionally be added in it's entirety to my new book.

Pin-ups!

Another tattoo for Dave.  A pin-up to adorn more of the outside of his upper arm.  This gal was tattooed in the traditional style sporting a checkered flag and some devilish accoutrement's.

Eagles and Flags

Here is a tattoo I did on an old client of mine's father.  Ryan's dad, Chuck, wanted something very American and this was what we came up with. He decided on eagles and flags and the very traditional imagery seemed appropriate for the occasion.  This was Chuck's first tattoo.

Angie's Leg

Angie's poor little leg was so swollen after this session.  I was happy to oblige when she asked me to tattoo a traditional woman's face and roses, covering most of the outside of her thigh.  This picture doesn't really do the piece justice but I will be including healed photos of this piece in my new book. If I am correct, the piece took us only about four hours with breaks.   We had lots of fun laughing and chatting during the session.  Angie recommended some shop's in Portland, (her former place of residence), that I just may have to do a guest spot in some day!

The fox and the rat

Finally I have a photo of the rat tattoo I did for Matt two, (?), years ago!!!  We added to the idea with a fox poised and ready to attack versus the rat.  I'll be adding healed pictures to the new book as well.

Dia Los Muertos

I tattooed these both on Dave today, taking only a couple hours total.  Dia Los Muertos imagery mixed with traditional tattoo elements, muy bueno!

Ladyslipper

It's funny, life's idiosyncrasies.  I was just mentioning how I had only done one lady slipper tattoo while tattooing the chest piece/cover-up tattoo for Colin.  Now I have another to add to the collection and yet another lined up for the future.  This is on Nikki's mom.  Her first, but not necessarily her last tattoo.

Franconia

Hallie's arm, sneak peak!

Here is a sneak peak of Hallie's arm, which we finished today.  I will have the full half-sleeve and all angles of the arm in my new book which should be available for viewing and purchase at the end of November.  Hallie's tattoo is inspired by the original lithograph's in Lewis Carroll's classic story; Through the Looking-Glass.  

Maizie's Heart

Finaly finished this heart on Maizie this past Saturday.  If I am correct, I have in-progress photos of this tattoo when we had only the black done.  Here is the finished product!  If I had my way, I would most certainly add some imagery on either side of the heart and/or background, we will see if Maizie agrees with me on the future continuation of this tattoo.
In the meantime I am almost done with my new portfolio/book which will be getting sent to the presses this weekend, and afterwards be available for purchase.  I have compiled a portfolio of "sale" drawings and sketches available to be tattooed for a discounted price as well as painting lots of new pictures.  I will continue to post about the unveiling of the new products and merch and when and where the new paintings will be displayed.
Thanks for reading!

Tara's Tree

Finally I uploaded the pictures of Tara's side/half back/arm/chest tattoo!  I think I will need to reshoot them for my portfolio, but here's a sneak peak for the blog.
