Dog Portraits Tattooed by Greg

It's just been a few years ago that I did my first dog portrait...I'd always shied away from them before. This first one I just couldn't pass on...I've always liked dachsunds.

And then the last couple of weeks I've been privileged to do these two.

Me as Santa

Susan found this 2005 Commercial for Maggie Maye's. That was a fun time - hot economy and all!


TucsonTattoo.com

That commercial was great because on the day Santa came to our shop, Hector played Santa and Susan took pictures of him with tons of people (still have those on a hard drive somewhere)....people came to the shop with their little ones just to have pictures made. It was a great day.

Update on Luke's Dragon




I've just about finished Luke's dragon. I think we have one more sitting to go.

Portraits for David




David Hull has a huge heart and now he has a lot of tattoo work too! Here is a series of pictures depicting the portraits I've recently tattooed on him. I think this was 3 settings.

Tattoos for Halloween


Normally, Susan does the foot tattoos - she loves them...but she's not really into this sort of design. I like it.

A little different koi


Everytime I am asked to do a koi I try to do them a little different. I think everyone of them should be as unique as the wearer.

Finished Tattoo for Josh


Earlier I posted the outline of this tattoo and I recently had the privilege of finishing it. This type of tattoo work is a lot of fun. I can combine the challenge of portrait work with the adventure of custom work. Bring me more of these ideas!!

Biomechanical Tattoo Work




First sitting on what will be a large biomechanical piece. This was a lot of fun. I have studied Guy Atchison's book...read and re read it. Learned a lot from it. Can't find the book now so I guess I'll have to buy another one...Luckily I have the privilege of working with Jeff Scrivner. Jeff had his bio work done by Guy and so I have a real life example to study now. I think it really helped me lay this one out. Looking forward to the next sitting.

Family Portrait Tattoo


This is the first sitting of a family portrait. It is about 2/3's done. We'll have a second sitting in about a month and I'll finish putting in the grey tones and small details. I never get tired of doing portraits. Everyone of them is a new challenge that I enjoy.

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.

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.
