New Dragon Project


Last week I got to start a new oriental dragon.

Saturday's Portrait


I think you all know that portraits are one of favorite tattoos to do. Everyone of them is a challenge...and I like challenges. And this little guy is a cutie.

Sal's Portraits



Sal had me do the portraits of his children on his back calf. Man, that really hurts back there - can't tell it when Sal's getting tattooed. I tattooed his girls on the left calf a few years back and he was in this week to put his new pride and joy - his son- on the right calf.

Spent Saturday Tattooing Margaret






I spent Saturday tattooing my dear friend, Margaret. It's not work when you get to tattoo subject matter that you love on people that you love. I've been tattooing Margaret for several years so I took this opportunity to photo some of her tattoos that I've done in the past and also what we are working on now.

Chris Roberts came in from Indiana yesterday and today to have a marathon sitting on the sleevework we started this spring....didn't quiet get done. Oh well, Tucson is beautiful in winter and so Chris and his wife will have a good excuse to come back.

First sitting on an Oriental Breastplate


This is the outline of the koi on the left chest. Today we have a sitting to do color work. The plan is to do a turtle on the right side soon. Each side is representative on one of Ryan's children.

Music Fans and Tattoos




I was privileged enough to do this first tattoo a year or so ago. Then I got to follow it up with the guitar just last week. I like these sorts of challenges.

Good vs Evil



The Good Swallow vs The Evil Swallow....which one wins??
