Very much alive, Just checking in...

Hey everyone. I've been absent on here for a good while, but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy. I've actually been working on a lot of sleeves, and not so much on actual jammers. It's a good thing though. I'm very excited to work on these, and double excited that people are liking my work so much that they're giving me their whole arm to work on. Here's a sneak peak at one part that I recently got to jam out on for a few.

I hope to start working on quite a bit of art as well. My beautiful lady and I have just moved into a new pad, and I've been getting my new art station in top condition.


Well that's it for now. Sorry for the lack of updates. I'll try and get back on the ball. The motivation's there... just gotta get on it! Holla.

Hannya's are fun. Straight up.

Had fun jamming on this one. He's gonna eventually tie in more Japanese stuff. The three-eyed Tiger and lotus is on this arm as well, high up. This was a blast.


I also finished up a quick sheet of flash. I like doing these pseudo-traditional flames on stuff... so I said fuck it, and made a whole page with it implemented somehow. I had a nifty time with it.

Back Aches - Still Productive

So my back ached so bad I just couldn't go through with the day today. I needed to catch some much needed rest. I work 6 days a week at nine to twelve hours a piece. That's 60 hours a week hunched over doodling on someone's body. It takes a toll on you, and today I had enough. But even at home trying to relax, I still wind up having to make something. Here's today's endeavor. Hurray for drawing on the floor!

It's an Eaglepanthersharktigerpython. Oh and by the way, those are supposed to be piss finger waves. Yes, piss as in urine.

Slow Day, Confrontation, Fun Art

What a day today has been! A new shop opened up directly across the street from us today... inside a hair salon, on the same level... hell, a few feet away from a barber chair. The scratchers that work there came into our shop not to long ago SMOKING A CIGARRETTE IN OUR LOBBY! Needless to say, I was bored and ventured to their new establishment... after I spoke my mind, we were told to leave. And we did. But the message was sent loud and clear - We are legitimate tattooers doing rock solid work, and we won't stand for this industry to be screwed and exploited by hackjobs such as them. I can't stand and watch food get taken off of my girlfriend and forthcoming child's table because these guys are 100 feet from us giving people Hepatitis.

On another note... I did this post-angry encounter:

New Painting and a healed Tatty...

I finished up a piece I made for Soba at Workhorse Irons. The dude went above and beyond my expectations on retuning (more like rebuilding) my machine for me, so I figured I'd show my appreciation and send him a painting for the good work. Here it is...


I also was able to get a healed photo of my friends geisha I did on his arm.

3-eyed Tigers!

There's nothing more to say other than that they're fun as hell to tattoo! I also got a present in the mail from Workhorse Irons. I thought Soba just redid the springs, tuned it some, and maybe heat-shrinked the capacitor on my machine, but I was wrong. He swapped out everything but the frame! I was SO excited... and I got to use it on this tattoo. Thanks Soba!

Downtime @ The Shop = More artwork...

So Ryan does a bunch of Japanese stuff. Rarely will i do something, if ever, that's entirely Japanese inspired. However this morning, I said "fuck it" and went with a little koi duder.


And I threw down on a little owl jammer jam too.
