Dead Hand

Just a quick painting I did for a fellow tattooer whose work I admire very much. It was nice to do a little painting that I could finish in a day after several months of only doing large scale projects.

All Saints day

Here is a quick and dirty Halloween special I whipped up. However, since I have Halloween off I am offering the special on Saturday, October 29th. All designs on this sheet are shop minimum ($50) from me and can be done either in color or black and grey. I would really love to do all of these so come in and get a fun evil tattoo on the cheap.

In Progress

 I started a half sleeve today. Chris wanted a mermaid drowning a sailor and I was happy to oblige. We still have a long way to go but he sat like a champ through the whole outline, and was a pleasure to work with. It fits, his arm perfectly and I am excited to work on it again. I also have to thank Paulie for getting me to redraw it all at the last minute, which improved the drawing immensely. Her is a quick cellphone photo of the outline. I'll post better ones when it is done.

In other news I am trying to get some sort of halloween special together for next week. It is last minute I know, but check back Tuesday for details and art.

Reign in Blood

Yeah, wrong use of reign I know, but I've been listening to a lot of metal lately so my mind goes to Slayer for obvious reasons.
Here is another fun tattoo on Courtney. I am fairly pleased with it and certainly had a good time doing it. The body of the corset is a bluish Payne's Grey however the photo washes that out unfortunately.

Wishlist

Some things I would like to tattoo, and that would get a lot of tattoo for less cash than usual:

Draug
Rock Of Ages
Baphomet
Giltine
Danse Macabre/ Memento Mori skeletons
Female Bullfighter
Vultures (always)
Devils

I will try to get some sketches of my ideas together and post them here, but folks should come in and talk to me about these things regardless.

Cheers

Cover-ups

Here is a couple of cover-ups I did in the last few weeks. Nothing terribly exciting, and far from perfect, but they were fun nonetheless:

Tribal cover-up

Mis-spelling cover-up (black and grey tattoo not mine)

Repent

Finished another poster sized sheet today. The same one the various little previews are coming from. Parts of it I am really happy with, other parts not as much. But here it is regardless:

Reaper Man

My wife hasn't had time to get any work done since well before we moved; and so understandably has been jonesing pretty bad. So fortunately we got some time together tonight and I gave her a fun little reaper from my last big flashsheet. I'm pretty happy with the end result, and was pleased, not only to give Courtney a new tattoo, but to get to do something more up my alley. Hopefully I will get to start doing some more fun tattoos soon(on paying customers rather than my spouse).
