roses

here are a couple black and grey roses i did a couple months back. me and another co-worker (matt lentz) tattoo this girl on a fairly regular basis. it's always traditional stuff, which i dont do as much these days. so makes it fun.

some recent japanese work.

 hanya mask i did on the fly yesterday. had a cancelation and a friend of mine came in and got this. super fun, i love doing noh masks. just the dramatic expressions, and colors make for great tattoos.

this woman was only in town for a day and REALLY wanted to get this terrible rose she had on her chest covered s=with a koi chest pannel. of course it was a crazy day and i was already done with work. but sometimes you just have to take on a fun project even when your beat.

 hanya doodle

quick walk in of a fancy lady. i used to do one of these a day!

some dragon paintings ive been working on.

 detail picture of a bid sumi dragon im working on.

finished this dragon 1/2 sleeve left and right painting. im really stoked on these. once again harkoning to the very traditional japanese stuff that i love, with a touch of the modern.

emily/s leg

finially finished my friend emily/s baku leg. this was a super fun piece. i kept it really bold and readable, wich has really been my goal for my japanese stuff as of late.

sorry it's been a while.

 making things

to crazy for some.

drew up this little crazy umbrella when a group of kids came in and asked me for a "wild wacked out" umbrella. then when they saw my drawing were like "uhhhhhhh..." hahaha this always strikes me as surprising and can be a blow to the ego if i cared enough. as it stands i like the design, someone should come in and get it tattooed on them!

tony's back 4th session

here's a quick snap shot i took of my friend tony's back that im working on. this dragon goes all the way down to his knees. it's a really fun and challenging project. definetly want to do more big dragons!

starting a chest piece 6-26-11

got thte outline done on this chest i started the other day. fun idea. he just wanted a hour glass and left the rest up to me. this is always the best way to get tattooed by me it seems. give me a basic idea and let me do my thing! i will always give you a great tattoo, maybe not exactly what you had expected, but still awesome.

zombie slayer sleeve.
