This was a lot of fun. Free handed this whole top half, seemed to work well as a stencil sometimes doesn't quite work well with the flow and contour of the body like it should. Had to work fast though, because once her body started to heat up, the sharpie just started to wipe off with ease. Nonetheless, a fun time. Total was about 8 or so hours for this "Ornament" style tattoo. And she sat really well for this the whole time. Tough area to tattoo and get tattooed to say the least!

Just wanted to show some fancy fine lettering (in this case numbers) that I did. The color in this is actually a mixture of what I like to call Burple. Fun times. I do love doing letters and number.

Lined this out today on a friend I met while attending school up here. What a fun tattoo to do. I normally don't do much of this, but it is fun to get challenged with work like this from time to time. And the conversation wasn't bad either! Always good times Kenna! Be finishing up in a few weeks.

A little detail of what I have finished so far.

This is a print made in the late 16th or early 17th century by a woodcut block printer by the name of Albrecht Durer. A fun tattoo to do, I just hope I did it justice.

Started this one today. Plans to go down on to the right thigh and hopefully some shading next session. Maybe even some color!

A good start to Stacie's back piece. She's letting me do my thing on this (which is a lot of trust on her part, and a little on the high stress level for me). All in all should be a fun tattoo and I can't wait until we get back at it in a few weeks.

So he decided that he wanted a full sleeve. I thought It'd be a good idea as well. More to come in a few weeks.

Had fun with this one. All free hand. of course i didn't take a picture of the drawn-on image. Oh well, I guess you'll have to trust me.

So this guy came in the shop a bit ago and I had to snap a photo of this. This here is a tattoo made by Mr. Lyle Tuttle. For those that don't know him, well he can be credited with slowly bringing tattooing to what it is today. Some would say this was the start of a bad thing and to keep tattooing in the dark. I personally don't know. I just enjoy the history of tattooing and this here tattoo is 40 years old. A true gem in my book. Also, its always great to see where tattooers are taking the trade/profession/debauchery to these days and what tattoos like these (the foundations) have given us to build upon.

Don't get asked to do much Black and Grey. But I do enjoy doing it! I had a lot of fun making this tattoo, and it should soften up nicely. First Mermaid to. I'm really enjoying doing women right now, and I appreciate the people that have been giving me jobs that require them. So, a big thank you to those clients out there for letting me tattoo you!

Did this on the back of Jared's knee. This guy is one tough Mo' Fo! He asked me to change up my color palette and do something a little more on the 'strange'. He was happy about the final outcome, but I don't think he was super stoked about the placement, then again it was his choice to get it on the back of his knee (the same one that he got the front one finished about a 2 weeks ago) Good times I thought, 'cause well, as us tattooers say 'we can't feel a thing when were tattooing'

So I didn't get to finish this one, but I think I got it to the point that it looks okay as is. A very fun to tattoo. I gotta say, I do love doing me some Rosesa's!
