New Atomik Tattoo Stickers...

New stickers are in, leave a message or stop in the shop if you want some.

Gangster Script Tattoo...

A friend wanted his two daughter's names put on his arm, so we went with some nice gangster script with a dash of color to add some flavor

Atomik Art...

I just completed a new painting that is the first in a series of three that will feature pinup girls and depictions of death. The canvas is one foot by three feet and done with oil paints. There are plenty of hidden meanings and messages within, but I never explain my artwork, I'd rather allow the viewer to come to their own conclusions.


Atomik Pinstriping...

Here's a new photo of one of the panels I painted while attending the custom car event in Little Rock, AK. Tribal striping on funky candied ground metal background. Below is a better quality pic of one of the panels that I've all ready posted from that trip.

Dagger Tattoo...

My very good friend Mike came in the shop to get a dagger on his forearm that held a personal message and meaning for himself. I've always digged dagger tattoos, probly because I was obsessed with the VCJ artwork that decorated Powell Peralta skate decks back in the 80's. His dagger designed for the Tommy Guerrero board was wicked. That design was part inspiration for this tattoo in that they both have skulls on the handle. Thanks again Mike, your a great friend, and a great person who allows me to do sick tattoos on!

Pinstriping in Little Rock, AK...

This past weekend I traveled to Little Rock to take part in a custom paint and pinstriping event held at the annual Auto Extravaganza. I was in good company with Spider Papa, Paul Quinn, Zeke Lemanski, and Howie Nisgor.

This Elvis impersonator was right on! He put on a badass show while we painted!
The panel above was done by me, along with the sloppy easel tag below I mopped on with silver

Panel above painted by Quinn, he's got that faux chrome down!
Howie doing his unique style above
Above and below is Zeke and his funky striping. I really like Zeke and wish I had the opportunity to hang out with him more often



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!
