Holy Sh!t! August blasted right past me. I did as many tattoos as I could fit, and took a picture of a tiny fraction of those, and of that tiny fraction an even teenier and tinier percent came out relatively in focus, and now I’m sharing a couple of those with you. I’m ready to do more tattoos, always, and more than willing to find a place to fit you in. If that sounds nice, you should contact me: ampersandtattoo@gmail.com. If you walk in, you’re definitely walking out empty handed, BUT, if you send an email, we’ll make the magic materialize together. Thanks to all the smart, sophisticated, and lovely people who came through this month; and thanks to the small number of creepy creepers who walked in and reminded me how lucky I am not to entertain that noise.

Holy sh!t- we’re past the ides of July, and here I am, recording so very very little of my days. It’s almost as if I’m too busy living my best life to stop and document what happening. (That’s not the case, btw. Although I am living my way through each day as hard as I can) Anyway, color tattoos still happen around here. Less often than black and grey flowers, but that’s the nature of the beast in the sour, dour, dirty (and diabolically hot) north these days. . I can tattoo you if you want- Email the shop at: ampersandtattoo@gmail.com That’s the only way to interact, with me, anyway. I can fit in smaller tattoos at the end of the day, sometimes.

Oh, hey there. Bill came in today and got this guy on his leg. It’s based on a painting I did some kind of forever ago; he saw it last time, liked it, remembered it, and made an appointment to get it. Very cool moves by Bill, I’ll tell you what… and I think it came out pretty cool, too. You guys aren’t going to believe me when I tell you this, but, you too can totally get unique and interesting tattoos. It’s allowed. It’s encouraged, even. Or you can get what you want-that sweet sweet whatever that you’ve seen reproduced so many times that it MUST be good. I’m down for whatever. Every day is tattoo day, even when it isn’t cool color space dead guy day. As always, I’ll find time for you somewhere, but not if you call. Please, for both our sakes, email: ampersandtattoo@gmail.com and we’ll make some kind of magic happen. Thanks ever so much.

I basically forgot to record the last two months. I guess I was too busy thinking about other stuff, and was even busier doing even other-er stuff, and I got so involved in all of that that it slipped my mind that I’m also supposed to to play bad photographer at work. It’s crazy to think that documenting my days was crazy important to me for so long, and these days I just want to have a good day doing good work on good people, or at least expensive work on bad people, if that’s the only alternative. Anyway, twenty five years ago, today, I did my first tattoo. Shoutouts and big-ups to all of you for making that possible. I’m grateful for the time I have been given.

COCKATRICE O’NEAL! I’ve been tattooing John forever. His request every time is: ‘whatever you want, just do what you do’. …And then I do that. So, here’s a green heron serpent that lives in a demon mask, doing open mic petrifaction for the people. Robot headphones? Too many eyes? Of course! He’s not a loser, man. C’mon. You might need a weird little guy on you, or maybe just some regular ordinary stuff, and the good news is- I got you either way. There’s only one way to get in touch and make that happen: Email: ampersandtattoo@gmail.com . . Anyway, I’ve now posted three separate times this month. That could be a record. I don’t wanna jinx it, but I *might* even keep that up. Who knows? It’s summer, man. I could just as easily eat too much pizza and be sweaty, instead.

Hey there! Here’s a whole bunch of tattoos- y’know, because that’s the thing that I do over here. Black and grey most days, drawn on more than half the time, zapped up and sent off into the wide world of these small towns that overlap and intersect with each other. That’s pretty cool. If you would like to get a tattoo, then there’s one way, and one way only, to get in on the big action: Email ampersandtattoo@gmail.com I talk enough every freaking day, I don’t need to talk on the phone, too. So email the studio, and we’ll figure out how to make some magic happen. Thanks a whole bunch.

ADVENTURE BIRD!! Look at this chonky explorer in his sweet little hat and fresh banana. He’s got a sword and some treats and a secret message container on one of his feet. Shoutouts to Carlos for coming correct and getting this smiley little dude. Big ups to the cool kids getting cool stuff. If you would also like to get some sweet tattz (coolness optional), you gotta get at me the only way I can ever get got at: Email: ampersandtattoo@gmail.com We’ll get you sorted proper. Thanks a whole bunch!
