Girls, Girls, Girls

Today I started and completed this little custom rat rod and pin-up gal on Brittany's side, what a trooper!

As well as finished this tattoo on Heather's upper arm, a tattoo of artist Nataly (Kukula) Arbamovitch whose stunningly beautiful and grotesque work is viewable at her website here.  I'd like to think myself and the girl depicted in this tattoo and painting are kindred spirits:

Detail of her face:

James' Centaur

Black and grey centaur on James' upper arm, a custom tattoo.  Best of luck to James and his new job!

Flowers and Flowers

Today I am happy to report I finished Megan's sleeve. Not that I didn't enjoy our time together but it was quite the undertaking and I think we are both pleased to have it finally complete.  What started as a simple addition and re-do of a dragonfly years ago turned into an outer arm tattoo, then a forearm tattoo and finally a sleeve.  You can see a picture of her lone forearm tattoo that we tattooed last winter here.  The upper arm was completed in stages but I will post pictures of the completed arm when I archive them all.  For now, the lower portion of the sleeve:

I then rounded out the day with the completion of a chest tattoo I started at least a year ago, maybe two on Michelle.  Check out her Etsy page and dog/cat bed company; Fur Cool Pet Beds here!

Overall, a day full of closure!

Owl Addition

Today I added a clock masquerading as a moon over an owl tattoo that I did here on Alex among the other pieces and several consults and drawing reviews.  Alex toughed it out on her inner arm!

Angie's Foot

This tattoo is on Angie's foot.  A "love tattoo" for her union with her husband, Rick.  You can check out Rick's tattoo here and their story and a couple wedding pics here.  

I also finished a tattoo on Joe's lower arm.  You can check out his other tattoo here.

Laura's hairdryer

Tattooed a little black, grey and red hair dryer on Miss Laura P. today.  This tattoo is intended to coordinate with the scissor tattoo I did which you can view here, eventually we will fill up her whole arm with hair-doing implements!

Bears and Deers and Naughty Things, oh my!

Sica's leg tattoo was an all-day endeavor today.  To explain this in full detail may breech my client-artist confidentiality but what I can say is that the tattoo is an ode to her parents and the advice they gave her independently of each other in her youth.  You can check out her sweet salon here.   

Dark Tower

Wowza, I didn't think it would happen, but Shane's Dark Tower tattoo is finally completed today.  On his ribs and taking several sessions the tattoo is a custom piece, compiled from imagery from the Stephen King series Shane and I agree that it might be the best ode-to-the-book tattoo out there!

Time to update!

Yikes, been awhile since I updated the blog.  Very soon I promise I will retroactively update with some photos of tattoos I have done in the last month or so.  In the mean time; a plea to you...I am running the Fast and Furry 8K.  If you donate money to my team page on razoo you can help to save an animal from being euthanized.  Only $325 will save the life of a dog or cat in this shelter.  I will be doing all the hard work, all you have to do is donate!  Come and cheer me on.

Let them Eat Cake

Megan, (a much more aware gal than Marie Antoinette who was misquoted by Jean-Jack Rousseau as saying; "Let them eat cake" in the wake of a famine reflecting her distance from the subjects), got this adorable little cake slice tattooed on her arm today.  This is a custom tattoo.
