Just getting the chance to post my lil drawing I got to tattoo on Lindsi the other day. Thank you so much for hanging out with me and bringing me sweet treats and being patient with me while I beat up your poor little thigh!

Finished Emily's back!
It took a long time. Many many hours. Lots of plasma, sweat and tears. It's a cover up of the black and grey stars everyone got in the early 2000's. Also one of my favorite parts was actually a happy accident. She had a reaction to some numbing cream which resulted in like a webbed pattern that we used to texturize the inner galaxies and stars. I love this tattoo, love Emily, love my job, love love.

The finished collaboration with my one and only @artofspencer on one of my favorite clients of all time @ceramic_enthusiast . The four horsemen and the angel of the apocalypse was definitely a tough theme as each of them has so much going on, but David was amazing with his trust and a bad ass for letting us work on him at the same time with no anesthesia or numbing cream, just good snacks and his headphones. Thanks David!
We love a collaboration so if you want your massive tattoo done in half the time hit us up!

Josh's battle between the African Secretary bird and its tasty snake snack treat. I started losing him as a friend around the top of the head there, but he persevered and we finished up the last big section of his African sleeve and his first tattoo. Thanks bud!

If you get them all stuck together, that's one tattoo.
Josh's first tattoo! We went from him not sure he'd ever get any, to wondering how long of a break he'll take before his next one.
The gorillas were first and they represent him and his two sons and by the time we got to the secretary bird catching the viper he just told me to surprise him hehe.
Thanks bud!

The toads name is Mr. Worldwide, according to Jessica's daughter, and who am I to refute that?
Chipping away at her sleeve that's all about the little things in nature we sometimes forget to stop and appreciate.
