Passenger Pigeon


Pseudo Audobon inspired extinct pigeon on the upper thigh.
1st session was outline and shading. Color this time around...

Dragon/Phoenix Suit


He's been getting a lot of work on the big dragon on his ribs lately (and taking it very well I might add), so it was time for a break from that and starting up some background on the back. Another session again next week...

Fighting Cocks


Little bit more color on this back piece. Actually getting close to finishing this one, and we have a few more long appointments coming up...
Should be fun.

Chrysanthemum


Colored this one in. We decided to go with white and "merlot"...

Just another day...


Some serious behind the scenes action...

Clouds, Rocks and Peonies Sleeve





Did this sleeve several years ago on a good friend (chest piece by Chris Trevino, and a couple of the peonies by Bill Salmon). Just touched up a few spots today. Fun to revisit something I haven't seen in so long. I still like this style very much and sometimes want to work backwards to do this type of background more...

Dragon Suit



Outlined some background and a little shading. Not a too much for this session, but it took a bit longer than I expected to figure it out and draw it on. Exciting to start seeing the munewari take shape (the negative space strip of skin, or river, down the front on a Japanese body suit is called "munewari").
He is going for a full body suit, and has an appointment every other week for as far into the future as we need...
An honor and a lot of fun to do this much cohesive work on one person.

Durga Back Piece




Back piece of the eight armed Hindu warrior goddess Durga riding a lion (she is also often pictured riding a tiger .) She is the Creator aspect of Devi, the Divine feminine energy, core of every Hindu goddess.
Started this a couple of years ago, and just about finished up. Added the halo and splash today. She is surrounded by Datura flowers, used by various cultures for centuries as a powerful hallucinogen.

Virgin of Guadalupe




My take on the iconic image. Mostly single needle, with a mag for some of the bigger areas. Don't get too many opportunities to do the fine line black and grey work, but I enjoy it very much and look forward to more of it in the future. Did this one last year, but just getting to the photos...

Bird



Fun little tattoo on the inner arm. Had a drawing of a different bird ready ahead of time that didn't work out, so drew this one up on the spot. Hiroshige meets Audobon was sort of the vibe. Took a while to do, but it worked out...

Roses





My friend Lucas came to visit from Oakland last weekend and got some traditionalish roses outlined. Fun one to draw on, little over an hour to tattoo.

New York Tattoo Convention


I'll be working at the New York Tattoo Convention at the Roseland Ballroom in mid town Manhattan May 14-16th. Haven't been out there in a few years, so I'm very much looking forward to it. This is definitely my favorite convention...

LA Trip


Another good memory from the LA road trip. Spending some quality time with tattoo legends Junii Salmon, Good Time Charlie Cartright, and Filip Leu. Still getting inspiration from the whole ride...

Skull




Shaded this in today on the "Koi/Skull/Chrysanthemum Leg". I don't do too many skulls, so I listened to heavier music than usual to try and get in the zone, and time flew right by. Finally on to color next time...

Dragon Scales




Finally finished the scales to complete this outline. Next time it's either start drawing and outlining the background, or start the dragon on the other side.
