This is an Angel cleaning the blood off his sword from the day's work. We all have to fight demons off everyday. I told my sister if I ever died; Here I am looking over your shoulder.

At first it was just the turtle with Herbie the Lovebug. It was too small, so we made it a thought bubble of another turtle racing the Rabbit. Classic until I put 2 pairs of Nike's on the feet. I did this like 3yrs ago, but just got some pics

Craig here is my brother from another Mother. I did an armband at first and he wanted more, so I freehanded the whole piece with a skinscribe marker. It took 3hrs to draw because I didn't know what direction I wanted to take at first. I did this because He helped me build up my mobile tattoo trailer. It's finished more than this, but I don't have any recent pics yet.

I did this right after High School on my friend Vida. She said everyone said it looked like a figure 8 underneath, so I had to cover it up. With her demonic astrology sign, it turned out great. Thanx Vida.

Just another Cowboy from Hell, traveling coast to coast tattooing everyone and their Mom. Award Winning Artist of Natural Born Talent! I've always been a student of Art. Inspired by nature and imagination. Discouraged when I found out I wasn't doing anything that hasn't been done before in history, so I made my own style of how I want to make it. Surrealism I really enjoy. I keep busy with different mediums of art so that I never get burn out with a perticular one. I love tattooing because the canvas is alive and It has taken me places that I never thought I'd be able to see or to the people I'd meet. I like bringing your thoughts out to decorate your temple. Majority of my work is freehanded on the skin, little to no stencil use. Tattoos should say something about you, not about what you can pick off the wall. I love to take your money but I'd rather you be happy in the process. In the Orlando/Kissimmee area of Florida with business to open soon. Mobile tattooing for conventions, bike curcuits, etc.. Tattooes are always a party. What's better than Blood? Call 317-431-8318 for appointments and availibility. Life is good!
