Dragon back

In progress...

The classic

Got to do this skull and snake tattoo on a knee the last day of the Portland convention.

Smorgasbord

Heathcliff fish bones tattoo on the foot of an old loyal customer.

Broken fly tattoo on my homie's dome.

Broken sea horse tattoo for my buddy Tone.

Indonesian version of a valkyrie. I did this tattoo on a chicks thigh.

Silverware tattoos, done pretty small, very fun. The one in pink likes to fork and the one in white prefers to spoon. The knife is there in case they need to cut you up and eat you. Watch out.

carbon and something made by a cabron

Got to make one my best little tattoos on one my family friends. A carbon atom stippled wild style.

This tattoo I made using single needle, then shaded with a mag. Had a great time tattooing my paisana from Bari.

Free hand oni

My homie Jason had these kanji tattoos for a while.

This is how I worked with it to make a japanese sleeve.

We have recently added a snake and peony on the inner arm and tricep. Pics of the finished product to come. We have another two sessions to seal the deal on the top half.

A modern hero, japanese mixed with americana.

This my friend Deans beautiful thigh. I did this over a month ago now he needs to come get this thing done.

Phoenix rib panel, she sat like a champ. This took about 20-25 hours I cant really remember. Still need a healed pic....

dragon carp or koi ur call

All healed up.... and from this I was commissioned to make this....

I made this tattoo for my friend's wife. Check out his work he is an awesome monster of a tattooer, Ross Carlson. Hopefully I'll get to throw down on this again soon.

I got you covered

Underneath my scribbles of sharpie and saltwater pens are three roses that looked pretty weak. My client hated her tattoo. So I decided to save the cherry blossoms and murder the roses.

The flower is all healed except for the gold part. This was session two of the tattoo. I did all the background greys, colored the leaves and re-did the cherry blossoms. Good times.

This was a bit of a challenge but after some sharpie sketching I figured out what to do....

I did this free hand cover up tattoo while Jerome was hanging out right next to me. He was cool with it, and I'm probably gonna cover his tattoo of this ladies name.

Crappy photo, I'll get a healed flick hopefully.

my homie Tone

Congrats to my friend tone on his daughter Malia. I was happy to make this heart and tulip tattoo for her on him.

A month after that we did this... A poppy with wings and and a seed of life stippled as a halo.

better late then never

California love

Loved doing these quails and poppies they made for a great tattoo.

I randomly had another request for a poppy tattoo in the same month as the foot. California imagery that is out of the ordinary is the best.

Fancy cat tat, with a gold mouse cane.

long over due

Some fun tattoos, these people were the perfect customers. I was lucky and happy to make them some sweet tats.

Day of the dead lady head.

Did a little something different with the water, and I'm really feeling it.

I think I'm turning japanese, i really don't think so..

I have more tattoos to put up, just haven't unloaded my rig lately.

Finished this Koi tattoo, she had existing tattoos on her upper arm that Im going to incorporate a japanese background into to tie it all together. Had a lot of fun busting this out.

Got this Koi half sleeve project referred by an old customer about an hour away. And he hunted me down. It was a pleasure making this guy a tattoo and I also made a sweet day of the dead tattoo for his lady. We did double wammy sessions, tattooed each of them for about 4 hours each time they visited me.

Healed pic of the tank tattoo. We won first place at the Tattoo Hollywood Convention for best chest piece! My first trophy, yee haw.

Portland, Oregon here we come!

My beautiful friend Carlos Rojas made the painting for this flyer. Can't wait for the IPA's and some Voo Doo Doughnut!

Tattoo repair

These project are always a challenge but I always give my best and I am very happy with the results. In the near future I'm going to make a portfolio of just fixed or covered tattoos.

This rose tattoo was fixed for a friend of my cousins. More flowers to come on her arm, we are sticking with all black and grey.

This is Aram, he works near the shop and came in asking how I would be able to fix this tattoo. The red lines are the beginning of my sharpie sketching on his arm...

Here is the fixed product. The church is the Etchmiadzin Cathedral in Armenia, this church stands in the home town of my client.

Tattoo Hollywood

A betta fish tattoo for a long time customer of mine. This lady can run her ass off.

P-40 Warhawk tattoo for my wife's homie, this was pretty fun. Wish U could glide my hands across one a real one.

Booze and bowling chest tattoo, in progress, a tribute to his parents. His mom is a bartender not a wino.

Added the magical background to the owl tattoo I did about 5 months ago. And she had the awesome idea to do some cholo script, very sweet!

Finally got to make a custom tattoo for my friend George. I made him a sweet throw back tatt of a kewpie doll holding a cross.

A twist on an old favorite, the sugar skull. The drawings I made for this customer spawned a new idea for me to play with, turning animals mexican! Here is an example...

A cat turned mexican, for anybody seeking a tattoo of any subject matter "turned mexican" holler at me.

thank you, and have a wonderful morning.

sssss. ummmm. errrrr.

finished a couples sweet ones, peep em.

Meet justin, he came in asking me to make him a tank chest tattoo. This is what happened, when asked why a tank, his simple response... "they are tough" POW! healed pic coming as soon as he stops bleeding.

And meet Kevin, my personal banker. I made him a day of the dead skull and also talked him into getting a snake in there too, score! thank you and good night.

Aviate

A little dedication tattoo for my buddy Danny's grandfather.

On the grind

This carp and chrysanthemum tattoo took 4 sessions of about 4-5 hours over the period of a year. His inner arm has a samurai head one more session and a complete half sleeve will be done.

Chest piece in progress, some hot angels are going to be placed on each side of this.

This is actually a very tiny tattoo, when i get a healed photo i going to put a quarter next to it for reference .

Little black and grey feather tattoo. This was her first one and she sat like a champ!

I referenced the gone with the wind movie poster. Thanks Clark Gable!

This tuna tattoo was finished about a year and a half ago. Just touched it up a little bit, now its shinning!
