Got this insanely awesome cat head on July 8th at Congress St Tattoo in Portsmouth. Man I love it so much. Was such a great day (and night)!!!!
I love Chad. He is the greatest and I'm always bummed when he leaves, but luckily for those of us in NH, he visits quite often. 
Cant wait to see him and Jason Scott in Montreal.

Thank you for your great responses,
At the end I got this woman by Dane Soos, I took the hanging spider off in order to have more space for a future tattoo:

look no further than Tommy Lee's first tattoo ...Mighty Mouse bustin through a snare drum haha !!

edit: above is a fan tattoo
here is Tommy Lee's actuall mighty mouse tatt:

Thought I'd posted these the other morning - probably forgot to hit the submit button.
This is the time of the year that I love our place the most - affectionately referred to as Mighty Mortgage Manor. We spend a lot of time working on fences, the garden, Lynn's plot of fresh flowers, cutting grass...and even find some time to spend in our pool (we filled in an old one and built a new one last year). But, the mornings are so peaceful - sitting on the back porch with a cup of coffee is so tranquil. 
 
Here's my view from the back porch, looking over our small lake.

 
Sunrise from the front porch:

 
The pool from the back porch (still growing some grass to cover where they dug up the yard for the water and electrical lines):
 
The front of the house:

 
And the back of the house:

 
All four seasons are wonderful here in the Northeast, but I just thrive in the Spring and Summer months.
 
 
 

Finding the balance between work, fun, and musical tastes. Thursday night was Reagan Youth. Friday morning in a shirt and tie working in a client office, Friday night a house show with Austin Lucas and Adam Faucett. And today I'm cleaning the apartment listening to rockabilly radio. 
 
16 year old me would be so confused. 
 
 

so these are some cool salt & pepper shakers my wife bought for me when we were on Maui.
We travel a lot and always stop by the tattoo shops and check them out,one in Lahaina had these for sale.

Vic Ruggiero (from the Slackers NYC) played a solo show last nite in a living room in east Edmonton. It was super dope, we love Vic here. That's me on the left playing the red wurlitzer, the show turned into an amazing ska/rocksteady jam sesh with some cool cats (and close friends) from the Canadian ska scene.
Pretty awesome to get to play alongside one of your musical icons. Pretty jazzed. Life is full circle.
 

I was admiring this arm by Max Kuhn the other evening. Stunning. 
 

Todd Noble did a Percy Waters girl for me and I took a really bad photo of it (sigh).  I love it, though.
 

Tattoos like to ride, too.



 

Started this little fella: 
 

Little late here. Got this one waaayyyy back in November of 2015 from Chad Koeplinger while he was at Tattoo Paradise in DC. Tough to get a good pic because of the way it wraps, but you get the idea.

Some of you saw this on Instagram already, but my stoke cannot be contained. Fudō crab from Eddy done today at Lifetime in Denver.

So my wife got in on the Chad Koeplinger world tour when he was at Aloha Monkey in Minnesota. Obviously I'm happy for her but also I am a little jealous. 

Some more work on my arm ...

Got the pig to go with the chicken from Chris Partain.
 

I've got a few new ones over the last 2 months...
 
Very stoked. Have a cool Japanese yokai tattoo booked for Saturday...

Got a little spider from Dylan Homer at Tattoo Union in Vancouver

 
Also, how do you embed instagram posts? I can't figure that out...

Just got my first tebori from Bunshin Horitoshi. Tosi is a great guy! Highly recommended.
I went with something classic and simple for my first japanese tattoo

You get the most fun stuff...awesome!

Halfway there by Chris Stuart in Charlotte. Great tattooer, great shop, great experience

I recently got this incredible peacock from Luke Jinks at Cloak and Dagger. The picture I pinched from his instagram page also shows a glimpse of a Bert Grimm sun I got from Nick Mayes when he guested at Frith Street back in March.
