Germania

This is Travis illustrated pride for old world Germany.   On his forearm, this is his second large tattoo in only months.  Wish him luck as he embarks on his journey across the sea this coming winter.

Morfar

Morfar, meaning grandfather in Sweedish, adorns the illustrated brand of sardine can.   This is the chosen way to honor ones grandfather in the case of one of my clients.  This is a healed picture after a small touch up.

Ride Hard or Go Home

A girly twist on the typically masculine biker tattoo, this tattoo went on Paula for her birthday.  It was inspired by a painting that I had done for a friend a few years back.  She found it on my website and fell in love.  We did a few changes and soon enough it found it's way to her shoulder.  Wishing Paula and her riding buddy all the best!

Seth's Oak Leaf

An Oak leaf tattoo for a new baby named Oak.  This black and grey oak leaf on Seth's ribcage in homage to his brand new baby boy.  He sat amazingly and the experience was a pleasure.  The picture is fresh, so the redness is irritation, although it seems to add some unexpected realism to the tattoo.

Phoenix

A Work In Progress Teaser and a Crowd Pleaser

Quite a full day for this lady.  I have two tattoos to report.   The first is a piece I am really stoked on finishing, featuring a shark versus octopus battle scene tattoo, (inspiration not forthcoming from the Lorenzo Llamas genius Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus).  We accomplished a lot in the time allotted, with shading and line-work done.

Who doesn't love a classic?  A friend, came in for a long overdue tattoo.  An ode to his deceased mother, a winged heart.  Besides being a great fellow with a sweet family, Greg aka; "photodog," is an astounding photographer.  Please check out the link to view his site on DeviantART.  If you don't, Greg's ass-whooping, roller derbying, skull crushing wife may give you a beating you deserve, courtesy of the North Star Roller Girls of course.

Another Pin-Up...

Met a lovely gal, Jesse, who was interested in a pin-up girl tattoo.   Eager to add another one of my favorites to my portfolio, I abided.  There may be a motorcycle tank painted with the likeness of my creation in the future as well!  Can't wait!
