Cupcakes and Snakes...

My very good friend Staci came in the shop to get two tattoos recently. She's a great person to tattoo because she supplies me with the general idea, and then allows me to take the creative process to a final concept. It's always good when I have input on the tattoo such as the colors involved with the cupcake piece. Thanks again Staci!

Mini Pinstriping Panels...

I striped a series of mini panels for a custom paint event in Little Rock, Arkansas. You can see how small these were by comparison to the quarter in some of the pictures. Tiny.

Back Tattoos...

Here are some recent tattoos that I've done, all of them on backs The St. Michael flying down from Heaven was this young man's first tattoo
...as was this young woman's flowers on her shoulder.
This lil lucky Buddah went on the back of this kid's neck. I enjoyed doing this one...fat people are fun to shade.
And finally, this symbolic family tree went on a young girl who's always a great person to tattoo and hang out with while she's at the shop. She always gets cool and colorful tattoos and gives me the artistic freedom I need to create great work. Everything involved in this tattoo holds meaning and represents members of her family. It was a challenge to design, but the end result is something that both of us are very proud of!

Fire Truck in the Night...

I captured these images of a fire truck a few nights ago in front of the tattoo shop. I enjoy experimenting with the camera to achieve these types of beautiful and unexpected results

Pinstriped Toilet Seat...

Paul, the owner of Studio One Tattoo, who's also a hot rodder and avid lover of all things custom, had me stripe this toilet seat as a Christmas gift for his friend. I hate painting on white.

Molotov Brand...

My very good friend Clint from Fastlane Tattoo in Arizona sent me a sample of his new shirts from his Molotov line that just came out. Thanks for the shirt and stickers bro!
