Ali's Octoship

Ali's Octoship

She said, "I want a pirate ship half sleeve." I said, "Let's add an octopus." She said, "That's what I wanted to but the other artist I went to said it wasn't possible." I said, "Heck yeah, it's possible!"

Aww, Little Ephalent

Aww, Little Ephalent

Cait from Boston wanted "something cute and yummy" on the back of her calf so here it is! Well she did tell me more than that, with words such as "cutesy, elephant, bright and happy." You get the point-- well at least I did. Hey, here's some trivia for ya: which movie does "As you wish" come from?

Bee and "Fun Flower"

Bee and "Fun Flower"

Won tattoo of the day at the Houston Live Fast Convention July 2007. Crystal wanted a bee to remember her grandmother. This photo was taken the day after, so it may look a bit crusty.

Bunny Bombs Away!

He gives a thumbs up as if to say "Mission accomplished." But lo, what will become of the carrot crop if he destroys it? Done at the May 2008 Killumbus Hell City convention. We started with the bunny with at gas mask concept and eventually came to this as his environment.

Life is Like...

Life is Like...

A very untypical pair of dice with roses. Symbolic of the risks and obstacles one has in life. This was his first tattoo and next time we'll add the corresponding "death" tattoo on the other arm. It's gonna be cool, you'll see.

Snail & Fuschias

Snail & Fuschias

Just a nature scene of two favorite subjects chosen by Shera while at Off the Map. It was her first tattoo done on a rough area on the side of the knee joint. It could use some background in order to complete the tattoo further, but we figured this was enough torture for now.

Swan Phoenix

Swan Phoenix

After a few sittings and traveling to and from OKC, Stacy got the finished outcome of this endeavor. She was interested in portraying a majestic phoenix-swanlike creature in which she was very fond of. The last session we added the background, which added dimension, and touched up some of the phoenix's body at Atomic Lotus.

Tanya's Stargazer Lilies

Tanya's Stargazer Lilies

Each one represents someone special in her life. It took a few sittings on her upper arm and ball of shoulder. Be sure to view the angles and closeups. These photos were taken after completing the lily on top and doing touchups in the leaves and wind. Hopefully we'll add some thicker lines around the flowers for extra clarity.
