This is a portrait that I had been wanting to tattoo for a long time. I am a big Stanley Kubrick fan, and A Clockwork Orange has got to be one of the coolest movies ever made.

This was a fun tattoo to do. The client came in and wanted a cock that hung bellow his knee. I drew it up custom and made it happen. Funny stuff.

This is a sidepiece I am working on. It needs to be fine tuned a bit, but it was looking so badass I couldn't help but want to post it. Very surreal. The girl I am tattooing it on is in the Navy, so of course she needed an anchor, and she wanted it badass, with a lil bit o gore.

This is my rendition of the epic battle between the Archangel Michael and Lucifer. I wanted to convey Michaels sorrow for having to slay one of his brethren in God's highest choir. I also did my best to show the vanity of Lucifer. I hope to experiment with this style a bit more in the future.

This was a fun tattoo. We were hanging out around the shop, joking about stick figure tattoos, and I said that i would do this tattoo for free if someone would let me put a stick figure on them. I figured I would make it the most badass lil stick man possible. The client now wants his whole leg done in stick figures.

These characters are cartoon embellishments/exagerations of how the client aspires to be or sees themselves as a person.

This tattoo was a lot of fun. We just finished it up. I had a few things that I had to go back in and tighten up a bit. Came out great.

This tattoo was a cover up over a scarred up Kanji symbol. The client gave me free reign as long as the subject matter was a skull. I have done quite a few traditional skulls, which is okay because I have a healthy obsession with them, however I thought it was time I change the game and do something a little less common.

8 X 10 inch. Acrylic on canvas. I have been really getting into these cheesecake style characters lately. They are lots of fun.

This Is another instance where the client wanted a cross, and decided he wanted it to be his own, and not a run of the mill cross. I got the graphite burning and came up with this guy. I think it is one of my favorite black and grey pieces i have done.

This tattoo was done in one sitting on a Soldier home on leave from Iraq. He only had a limited amount of time obviously, so we couldn't put a second session on this, although I really would have liked to. Hopefully He comes back thru the shop when he is done with his obligation.

This tattoo was a lot of fun. I used my signature style I have been working on to render it.

This tattoo took me two and a half hours on a shoulder blade. It came out awesome... I did a lil experimenting, and learned a few new things. Look for more of this style from me in the future.

This is a custom skully (yes another skull tattoo... probably my favorite subject) that I did in two sessions. I Am ridiculously obsessed with skulls, and trying to do them in new ways. Hope you dig em as much as I enjoy doing them, because I have many more in my arsenal I am sure.

This Was done in two sessions, And originally drawn on with markers. I had a blast doing it. What do you all think? Feedback would be awesome.

This was a custom piece that I drew up for the client on the spot. She brought in a cheesy frog and mushroom design, and I took her idea and ran with it.

This was Done on Turtle, the Sacred Ink shop piercer. We figured almost all tattoo artist have a tattoo machine somewhere, Why not put a needle on a piercer... I know someone out there probably has already done something similiar, but this was the first I had seen, and I did look pretty long and hard for one. It Ended up winning me my first award.

This tattoo was done on a client that had a set amount of dinero she could spend, but was willing to let me do whatever I wanted with it as long as it was in her budget and the tattoo was of a Tiger Lilly... Needless to say I think she was happy with it.

This was done in one session on a client from out of town. It would have been nice to do a second pass had time allowed. Overall I think it came out well tho. Just a few little things I would like to re-iterate on if I ever get the opportunity to again tho.

My client wanted a way to commemorate both his fathers passing and his son's birth without it seeming morbid, and not making sense in how it is percieved. we made one list for passed loved ones and another for new ones. Life/death scrolls basically.
(1 image)
|
I was going for a slightly painterly look on this one. I think it came out well, and kinda has a lil bit of a Salvadore dali mixed with Georgia O'keefe feel to it.

This is a custom design I created to commemorate her recently passed father. He passed from cancer and was a musician so we modeled the guitar and guitar strap after his favorite ones.

|
The client wanted his dog, and also to comemorate his five year cancer remission date. Strange combo, but it worked out.

I have been wanting to do this tattoo for some time. It came out awesome. It is a Custom Double Dorje' which is an artifact of worship in the Tibetan culture. This is the start of a sleeve of various cultural interests.

This was a lot to pack into such a small tattoo. We tried to keep it simple enough to hold up well, and detailed enough to be cool. Less is more sometimes... came out awesome.

This is a custom dragonfly and flower tattoo I did today on a foot. Turned out well.

Newest Character in my Dreamguard series. My client Saw the first one I posted and loved the concept. He studies kempo and we modeled it after a stance associated with the martial art form.

this tattoo will eventually be added to, however for now is finished. It is a skull with worms, an apple, a book, a zombie hand, and some bloody goodness. Interpret it how you will.

This was done on a really interesting client. He is really big on Egyptian culture, and wanted me do do his name in hieroglyphs. Whenever you see symbols within this larger symbol like this, it is basically in reference to a pharoah/ruler of a certain period. Pretty clever.

This tattoo was taken from a color painting. I am unsure of the artist whom had originally did it, but the client wanted it in black and grey.

This is a tattoo that is derived from a piece of my original artwork. The client liked it, and decided that he wanted it tattooed on him. It is basically all about progressive thinking and striving to reach goals no matter how long it takes or how unattainable they may seem.

This tattoo was a Custom design that my client came in with the idea for. I drew it up and this is how it turned out.

Original Acrylic on Canvas. I started this about a year and a half ago and finally finished it. It sat in an unfinished state waiting to be finished for a long time. Now I need to finish the other 15 paintings I have started but lost interest in for one reason or another. It is my tribute to one of my favorite childhood cartoons. Raphael was always the coolest TMNT.

This tattoo was done on our shop managers father. I had a lot of fun doing it. I tried to mix some old school style with some realism. Came out nice.

This was really fun to do. I tried to keep a little bit of an oriental flare to it, but still render it in the style I have been perfecting. I am working on a whole line-up of these little characters themed after different cultures, and rendered in my lil signature stylee I am trying to develop. A friend and I have decided to call them Dreamguard. Most of them are very fantasy based. More characters to come, so keep an eye out and let me know what you think.

This is the first installment of an I.W.T.V. sleeve. I hope I can make the rest look as good. I really feel like I stepped the game up on this one. One of my fav portraits i have done to date.

I am gonna go in one more time to darken and detail the face in the mane before I call this done. I didn't want to wait to post it.

This Acrylic painting is about leaving the past behind, and trying not to let bad history consume you. Knowing that what is done is done, the past is a part of us, and those demons are still there, however to move on in life, we must keep them under lock and key. I am currently tattooing this as a sidepiece. Pics will come when it is finished.

There is was a heartbreaking story behind this tattoo. My son was just born when this client of mine whom i had not seen in quite awhile came in and said she wanted a tattoo of her baby son. At first I thought nothing of it, but after starting the tattoo she told me her son had recently died of S.I.D.S. completely out of the blue and unexplainably, and that is why she hadn't been around in a while. I got a little choked up right then and there... I don't think it would have hit me that hard had my child not just been born.

I forgot to get a picture of this after I drew it on his leg with sharpies. I had a lot of fun with this Koi... We were trying to be kinda original with it, and I think we succeeded.

I got the idea for this from a Boris Valejo piece. We took the Idea and ran with it.

There is alot of hidden connotation in this piece. I decided to post the original art for this. the tattoo was previously posted.

I felt like Paul Booth or something doing this tattoo. Perfect for Christmas... The client wouldn't let me put a santa hat on it.

My client came in and wanted drama masks, incorporated with skulls on his forearm. After a little conversation we decided to twist an old concept up and do something new. What we ended up with was a set of Skullys slightly tweaked to have a smile and frown appearance with phantom of the opera masks on. Much more original, and interesting. He was thrilled with the outcome.

This tattoo is a Cover-up of a shitty piece of tribal work. The client wanted something he could be proud of instead of a tattoo that looked like he wiped his ass with his forearm. Again, I forgot to get a before picture.

This is an Acrylic piece I finished today. It is all about creativity and pushing myself to be a better artist. I Had a lot of fun doing it, and Can't wait to do another. It is funny how finishing a piece of art makes you wanna do more.

This was done on a friend of a friend. After doing this tattoo, he decided that we are gonna do a full starwars legpiece. I think he was pretty happy with it.

Original Graphite piece that I did for fun. I ended up tattooing the foot on my mentor/co worker's foot. It would be just his luck to have a lucky rabbits foot and then the rabbit come back from the dead for it.
