Did this one one a customer in Hamburg a couple month ago.

i think someone needs to get this

Thanks for the idea!

Did this one on a customer yesterday, really happy about how it turned out!

The only thing I realised about arches is that it doesnt break so fast, so u can keep fading the colors and it wont start getting those little paper balls that some other papers do... I still buy cheap paper for trying out different tecniques but when I am kind of sure of how I want to paint a drawing or want to make a present I prefer arches...

Really nice chops @Chelsea Shoneck, definitely have to check out liquid acrylics!

These Old Blue Arms, the life of Amund Dietzel, I also got recently Bull´s Eyes and Black Eyes and the interview with Rollo Banks by Ed Hardy is really cool, check out Bert Grimm, Owen Jensen and Cap Coleman´s Work...

Recently I painted this ships with skulls, I really like Samuel Briganti´s ships, really solid.

This is the one I made for the fan club of the Roller Derby team from Hamburg, really liked the way it came out.

Did this one a few month ago...

Flash from the Bowery is amazing! A huge collection of traditional stencils... Great to use as a reference.

Chriss Dettmer´s private studio in Hamburg: The black hole. Really nice guy and an amazing tattoo artist. The place is covered with really nice flash all around.

I did this one last week on the owner of the tattoo studio where I work, love skulls and daggers!

I am also always trying out new stuff with watercolors, but mainly I use talens for the outlines although I tried Artist Pens from Faber Castell, still I think is nicer with an old pen and ink... am using ecoline colors and trying out different papers, I used Arches for my last watercolor, really liked it... Guess I will keep buying Arches although its more expensive...

I got my first tattoo machine tattooed on my hand by Hugo Tatuajes who apprenticed me... there goes the picture..

I am Juan, been tattooing since 8 years now, although I gave up for a few years and then got an apprenticeship in Barcelona, where I work now. I am mostly interested in american traditional tattooing and love skateboarding and punk rock. Am looking to meet another tattooers out there and talk about tattoos and painting, cheers!
