Ancient Eye

Welcome folks the leader in fresh ideas is Mr.Joel thus far who came in a while back and got a space shark from me. Now he weighs in with this really rocking Eye of Horus! we took the standard one and revamped it into a cool mixture of several variations. loved how it came out and hopefully Joel will have more ideas for me to ink up for the visual stimulation of your peepers! 

Knuckle Sandwich

The double knuckle sandwich is what monday or my friday which ever you prefer to say brought me. A gentlemen came in and said he was having a rough week and wanted a tattoo to get it back on the good foot! He didn't have any idea what he wanted but knew he wanted something. On his way out the door to get his I.D. and money he said what about a brass knuckle? I said I loved the idea and since the shop has the same moniker it really was a perfect fit! Drew it up and he came back shortly after and we rocked this fist sized knuckle out to finish off my week!

Old School Loves Graphite

In this digital medium age were kids know how to use photoshop but don't know cursive and have never had a pen pale it is refreshing to have someone come in and get a paper and pencil tattoo. He brought in his own design and I cleaned it up as well as made it slightly different while keeping his original idea intact. Just saying to all you young kids out there....see pencils and paper can be cool it doesn't always have to involve a computer. I encourage u to enjoy this tattoo and write someone a letter or better yet lets bring back wax stamped sealed letters like the olden days!

Space the Final Frontier

Space the final frontier for......sharks? I think so! Randomly I was wearing a shirt with a space shark on it. A customer was in watching his girlfriend getting tattooed and he was looking for some ideas for a tattoo. He says to me, "That shirt is awesome I should get that tattooed!" I told him lets do it and that he should come back tomorrow. Low and behold he shows up and we rock out this space shark! I'm not sure the artist of the original shirt design but I would love to give him his due for the rad design I got to tattoo. If any of you out there want some weird animals in crazy situations just get at me with an email! Until next time cats and kittens.

A Family Of Radical!

Damion and Anna came in recently to the shop and with them they brought some super radicial ideas! Anna wanted a cute girly skull with with a bow and big eyes. This drawing came together pretty quick and was incredibly fun! Damion had a twins TC logo in mind and wanted to incorporate some paisley in one way or another. After a few ideas and drawing I came up with a big paisley with the logo and some other leafy stuff in the back round for that paisley effect. All in all I loved these tattoos and the people who got them! I will post healed pics eventually and post their next kick butt ideas!

Lions and Tigers and.....Well Just a Lion.

This is a Lion I did on a dude named brent. It was a fun piece and one of my first realistic anythings I've done in awhile. Here is a healed and non-healed photo. Still some more back round to add and a half an ear on the right side. Always growing and learning. Look forward to doing more realism and more animals! Keep checking back for more updates! High gear here we come!
