Where the Wild Things Are


Where the Wild Things Are has been the subject of many a tattoo in the last few years. I had the privilege of starting one this week. Thanks, Francesca. I believe we'll have 2 more sittings to complete this one. The design will be a comlete armband when we are done. And there will be color. This is Francesca's first tattoo and she did a great job of sitting for such a large amount of line work.

Portrait - first sitting


Sometimes portraits require more than one sitting. Here is a good example. I did the first sitting on this portrait the other day. We finish it up in a few weeks. Sometimes the skin gets too irritated to keep tattooing, sometimes redness gets in the way, sometimes it just starts hurting - lots of shading can do that.

Tom's Tattoo


Finally got to finish a tattoo I started on a good buddy of mine. I started the tattoo over a year ago. Time flies. We've both been busy.

Margaret's Tattoo work






I worked on another dear friend, Margaret, this week. Here are some pictures of her arm in progress.

Maggie Maye's Tattoo has a new website


Susan is currently busy building a new website for our store front shop, Maggie Maye's Tattoo. I will continue to work privately from my studio behind Maggie Maye's but Susan is going to once again run the store front, Maggie Maye's Tattoo. We have a little remodeling to do as the people who were running it these last few months left a bit of a mess...but it's all in a day's work!
We have a new (not new but new to Maggie Maye's) artist joining us, Jeff Scrivner. Susan will be posting his portfolio today.
So although it's not quite finished, here is the new site:

Debbie's Tattoos




I've been tattooing my close friend, Debbie, for years....and she informed me the other day that I've never posted any of the pictures. Well here are some pics of her arm work.
