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.
