Instant Sleeve

Here is a project I’ve just started. Came prepared to work with several traditional images I put together at home. I stenciled and outlined everything, he was able to handle the shading and coloring for half of the tattoos. All this work took 3 hours. I love working on these kinds of tattoo sleeves.

Never Trust a Skinny Chef

Here are some of my tattoos, collected around the world. Work here made in Portland, Seattle, Oakland, San Francisco, Stockholm, Brighton, Oxford, London, Oslo, Nashville, Atlanta, Bend, Dallas, Washington DC, and Ang Thong, Thailand. A good story behind who made every tattoo and how I got to those different cities.

3 paintings a day for 5 days

I managed to make some new paintings recently. Some of these are for upcoming tattoos and some are tattoos I’d like to do.

Background solution

My client Sara wanted to add a background to a single tattoo I made on her arm.
She wanted some flowers and a bird, so we really went for it. All this work was made in 4 hours, after it heals she will return to color the roses.

Tattooing Soundtrack

Just got a car with both cassette and CD player, so I made the investment in some 1980s/early 90s metal tapes. As a kid I had most of these albums, and most of these musicians had great tattoos.
