Spider tattoo


Black Flag spider for Charles around some other really cool tattoos.

Day of the Dead Sugar Skull Tattoo


I said the other day that I had never really done a day of the dead skull, then within a week I do 3, kinda weird.  Anyway, this one has poppies for eyes as you can see.

Zen Circle...


Inside of arm.

Gingher Scissors...


I was really happy to squeeze this tattoo in at the end of my night yesterday.  This is on a really nice lady who is a seamstress and wanted this exact pair of scissors that she uses.  I was really happy with the tattoo and really psyched to meet her and her husband who were really nice, easy going people, a real treat sometimes when most of the time you barely get a "thank you".

Black and Gray Tattoos...







I usually work with bold colors, but I did 2 black and gray tattoos today that I really enjoyed.  The first was on a client that didn't even know he was getting tattooed, came as a friend of Mike Lucena's client and decided to get a tattoo. The second tattoo I am a bit more hesitant to post due to the fact that the client brought in a photo of a pre-existing tattoo and wanted it exact.  If i knew who the original artist was I would give credit but alas sometimes the internet does not work that way.  I tried to keep the integrity of the piece as much a s possible.

Peony and Butterfly Tattoo


This was a walk in that request more tribal coming from the pre-existing tattoo.  This is what she got, in my opinion way better.

Lotus Flower cover up...


This is a cover up of a roman numeral tattoo, one of my personal favorites.

Girl Head and Kablamm comic book style tattoo...



Here are 2 tattoos on a repeat client, cool guy, fun tattoos.   The Florida orange is bright as day, Time Tells pigments, best I have seen in a while.

Never Again...Discharge Tattoo


Redid this fucking great Discharge tattoo, I couldn't say no.  This thing was originally done by Elio Espana on Adam, the original bass player of Agnostic Front.  Brought it back to life after 20 years of hard living.

Zombie Girl Head finished....


Finally finished this tattoo from almost a year ago.  There are a lot of subtle colors used for the bruising that don't really show in the photo.  This is going to turn into a full sleeve, can't wait to continue.

Traditional Dagger and Heart...


No Dame, No Pain, what more can you say?  Did this tattoo today.  My client was mid forties and this was his first tattoo choosing to go big and tough.  Was super pleased with the outcome and pleased to tattoo such a cool person who let me do it the way that I wanted, doesn't happen that often.

Painting for Marco Serio...


This is a crappy iphone photo of the painting that I have made for Marco Serio for when he visits.  Marco was and always will be a HUGE inspiration in my career and without his help I wouldn't be here, this is just my way of trying to thank him.  Will be making prints if interested.

Amber's taxidermy mouse...

I got this lovely little mouse business card holder from Amber, what a treat. She made it for me in her taxidermying class.

Painting...

Did this painting for the shop, might make a banner of this for the New York City Tattoo Convention in May.

Torch Tattoo...


Pretty straight up torch with cloud backgrounds.  Going to be finishing this sleeve with a bunch of filler tattoos, should be fun.
