So I was asked to make a tattoo of a clown. At first thought i wasn't that amped on drawing clowns. So after a little marinating in the brain and referencing some of the work of great tattooers like Chad Koeplinger and Tomas Garcia. This cool tattoo was born. And it also covered an old tattoo of the dudes own name (drunk mistakes in Vegas can come back to haunt you).

Here is the before photo, above the name is a tattoo I fixed up about a month ago.
