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!

Recent Photography...

It's been a good week for photos! All of these were taken in the past few days, and are some of my favorite ever because of the colors. The image above was captured while attending the Girl Talk show in Pittsburgh. I've been wanting to see him perform for a long time, and the show exceeded all of my expectations! Sooooo good!
The photos above and below were the result of me fooling with the camera. I really like them a lot. I'm a huge fan of color, and these two are a beautiful blend of designs and colors.

And these guys here are from my friends fish tank. Puff fish are my favorite kind of fish, so I'm always very happy to see this guy! He's actually fairly big, about the size of a shoe. I am sure he gets much bigger when he puffs up! His little orange buddy to the left felt that he needed to be in the photo too
