Got this a few weeks ago when Josh had a cancellation. Little bird friend.

Hey all, haven't been around for a while but I did go through another shading session with Chad on the big bat that I thought I would share. 

Got this guy from Scott Harrison last Sunday. Aside from the dope tattoo, I also got some great stories. If you're anywhere near the PNW, you should make your way to Portland and get work from this legend before he re-retires!

My girlfriend is awesome. She has ZERO tattoos.
She loves me for who I am and fully appreciates me. She values that tattoos are part of my identity and one of the ways I've found to express myself.
The trips to the beach are sure to be interesting haha.
 

Done two days ago, very happy!

Recently got my first tattoo in the US. Originally from New Zealand where I have three others. Super happy with the result, two sessions 15/16 hours total. Done at stained skin in Columbus Ohio. Excuse the swelling on the inside and outside of my bicep, that shits painful LOL. 

Thats crazy. Georgia has been real ballsy the whole time. I was surprised our governor let tattoo shops open back up because he is super old school christian. But I'm glad he did. A one on one session with a masked up tattoo artist is a lot safer than most shit they still allow to happen.

Jesus I got the other day. Was a much needed session with all the craziness going on. Glad shops are opening back up!🤘

Here's a small one I got yesterday. It's a snail warrior, a symbol of the band Heilung. They play music derived from pre-viking northern tribes. Very ancestral.
 

so me and my wife met with Oliver at the Feather Falls Tattoo expo and I got the horseshoe on my left knee ditch and she got the turtle on her left leg to go with a mermaid and octopus that he did a couple years ago.

Jac i love your tattoos i saw your tiger on here and its amazing 

And thus the photos have been posted, it has now officially happened. My butt has been tattooed.  I didn't like it and I don't like the healing either.  I also was super bummed that I didn't get to go to the San Francisco Asian Art Museum

My tattoo addition from yesterday at the Veterans benefit at Broad Wing Tattoo in Bowling Green, OH.  Great participating in such a meaningful event.  They posted today on IG that they raised about $7300 for Vietnam Veterans of America.
3 more nails in the coffin.

Lil' Keith drawing of an angel in honor of KeithHaring by my pal Erik at Odyssey Tattoo. Love him. He's a bit bloody, but he'll look the business when he's healed. He's quite small. Another of my many tiny Keith Haring fillers. 🙂

I started my 3/4 Kirin recently. 

Had the tiger finished up on Friday night, 3 hours worth.
 

well, squid pants getting the layers...finished my Five Deadly Venoms themed thigh tattoo collage ! 
My homie Rich Harding (Champion Tattoo Edmonton, AB) whipped in some some smoke-grey shading behind the 2nd layer black widow spider and centipede he did last month.. The spider webbing is layered on top of my 9 year old p-knee tattoos. really tied everything together and am very happy with the results. it is healing great.

 
...and then I had the very exciting, rare and unique opportunity to tattoo myself for the first time. I did the top square inch of red background behind the 5 year old yin-yang auspicious spider. Rich said, you've got all these tattoos budd, you need to fill in at least a small part of your bodysuit on your own.


Quitting my day job...SORRY BOOKS CLOSED UNTIL 2022 haha

If you are attending, tattooing and/or know of a good tattoo convention please post a thread under the LST Get Togethers & Tattoo Conventions so other tattooers and tattoo collectors know. Also please post under the Calendar.
Thanks!

Tommy's Tattoo convention in Hartford CT should be fun. I'll be there working

I swear I won't post every hand tattoo I do but here's a recent favorite of mine. This kid was born to be tattooed. I could tattoo him all day...and Ihave.
