Hot Rod Ink

My very good friend and mechanic had me fill his arm with hot rod icons including the Mr. Horsepower bird, Mooneyes logo, Dutch flying eyeball, racing flags, flames, and a rat rod. My favorite is the rat rod...

Its Been a Long Time...

It's been a long time since my last post...It's been a rough time since my last post, in many ways..physically, emotionally, and mentally. Life has been the best it's ever been in a lot of ways, and at the same time it's been rougher than ever. At least I know for sure that I'm living............. thank God that I have my art to be a constant in my life. Here's some recent tattoo work (or at least the pieces that I remembered to take photos of)
Shauna is the name of his baby daughter...tricked out lettering on the arm never lets him forget
I all ready inked an AK on his cousin, but homie wanted a M4...the smoke skulls and shell casings were a nice touch

In Memory Of...

I really enjoy doing religious tattoos and lettering...this tattoo had lots of both
My ace got a huge, tricked out 'E' on his chest...gangster!

Sparrow Foot Tatty...

I had the pleasure of tattooing this little sparrow on one amazing girl recently...
...and this guy got his son's name put on his arm. I could do lettering all day long...love that shit!

A to the K Tattoo...

Our local Pimp, Hi-Pitch Rich, had me put this AK-47 on his arm to fill up some available space. He liked it, I liked it...wicked.
...and this girl who raises horses had me design this tribal tattoo for her. It was her first tatty, and on her ribs...ouch!

Eagle Tattoo...

One of my oldest, closest friends wanted an eagle tattoo on his back. He didn't want color, but I used a dirty red to add some shading behind it.
this girl wanted her fiances name on her neck, but she wanted the O to be a ring...clever!
this tattoo went on an Air Force refueling tanker pilot. His hobby is hot rods, so he wanted old school pinstriping in it also

Graffiti Tattoo...

A good friend of mine came in the tattoo shop to get a graffiti piece that he designed on his arm. He gave me artistic liberty to shade and color the piece how I desired, and I think the collaboration resulted in a great tattoo!
...this tattoo was designed for a young guy who is a vocalist and writes music
...this 45 record adapter was put on a close friend who loves music
...and this baby's footprint was put on a mom
