Bread and Butter Tattoos... Script, Rosary, and Circles






I love doing every and all types of tattoos, and to be honest, what makes up most of my day are tattoos like the following.  They might not be the most mind blowing tattoos or the most original, but I try very hard to give them all my best.  The following are some that I have done recently that I am proud of.  The circles are entirely drawn on, no stencil.  The lettering is super blurry but I think held well, no blow outs.  The cross was stenciled but the rest drawn on and the script is just script.

Japanese Benten Tattoo...


I started this over a year ago and finally finished today.  I also know that this is not exactly a Benten but I don't know what else to call it.  Horiyoshi II.

Devil Tattoo and Purple Peony Tattoo



Did this Rassier flash on the assistant at Fly Rite.  I have always wanted to do this tattoo and was psyched to get the chance, hope I did it justice.  The peony was a cover up walk in, she was a real trooper for sure.

Hannya Mask Back Piece, Session 2....


Was really full of my self here, told Chris that we would at least get all the hair done.  I am a horrible judge of time, took a lot more out of both of us than I thought it would, live and learn.

This is one of my favorite tattoos that I have done recently, feel these designs make a perfect tattoo.  Was really happy with the outcome.

Tyler Two Tat and Tommy One Tat...Elephant, Skull, and Eye tattoos



Stayed at the shop the other night till around 2 tattooing 2 of my good buddies, Tyler and Tommy.  Tyler really went for it getting TWO whole tattoos in one night, what a beast!  Tommy picked a cool Dan Higgs design.

Photos of Snake and Dagger, American Eagle, and Coney Island Stomach Tattoos





When I was learning to tattoo I was taught that taking a good picture is sometimes as important as doing a good tattoo.  Well, I learned that the hard way today.  Have been using my fiancee's camera for a bit getting good results for me, till today.  Did the lettering and eagle tattoo today and took healed photo of snake and dagger.  Was real happy with all tattoos till I saw the crappy photos, realizing that I took all photos on the wrong setting.  Live and learn.  Will try to get better pics of all shown.
