just clownin foo

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.

Its been a spell since I last posted some stuff, so here is what has been happening at the laboratory.

A little sacred heart remembrance tattoo.

Got to bust out this peony tattoo for this girl's birthday. Hope to continue this shoulder capper with more flowers and a background.

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.

California fresh oranges. I always wanted an orange tattoo, glad I was able to make one for my friend Nicole.

Welcome two thousand ten, here are a few pics. Some new and some old....

Matt's Bald Eagle holding a shield with his mother's maiden name family crest on it. It was a fun tattoo, took me four sessions to finish.

This dude initially came in with this idea and honestly at first I didn't know what we were gonna do. It came together great, I had a blast!

Bart Simpson and Santa's little helper as the devil and a demon. This tattoo rests in the knee pit of a friend he muscled through it no problem.

Kewpie tattoo, done for Dean a friend of mine.

Be well.
