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.

Oregon Ink

Spent a weekend in Eugene, Oregon for a convention and got to make some sweet stuff.

This peacock tattoo went on a pregnant stripper. She didn't tell me until hours after I had tattooed her, I scolded her harshly, enough said. To top it off the photos I got of it blow.

This fancy owl tattoo was the highlight of my trip, I made this for the wife of Ross Carlson, an awesome tattooer out of Portland.

Dragon Carp tattoo. Simple color scheme finished in about 15 hours.

Awesome idea, this lady asked for wild flowers and calla lilies coming out of a snail shell. Had a lot of fun with it. Got to get a healed photo.
