Black and grey

This was fun. It had an old woodstamp feel to it. I thought about doing some shading, but reconsidered once all the line work was done. I like the contrast.

This was a design the customer brought in. I like the whole compostition of the piece, and I think I captured it as closely as I could.

I think almost every tattoo artist with this Tyrell flash has done this piece, but I've always likes his take on the praying hands.

This was our piercer's mother. It was taken from her high school graduation photo. She was killed years ago by her business partner. I was really glad I could do this for him.

This guy's wife did some sexy glamour shot type pictures for him. He decided to get this one tatooed on him. A week later he brought me a Peterbuilt hat from his work, and now I wear it every day.

Another cover up without a before picture! I'm really bad about that. The guy had his ex's name on his shoulder. I hid it in the flank area of the ram.

My friend Shep is a bartender at the bar we all go to. He wanted a rooster on each arm. One in color, one in black and grey.

This guy brought in just a plain tribal, and I talked him into changing it up. I just freehanded the whole design. I think it ended up with some nice textures.

I was really happy with this one. It was a custom piece I did on a womans back.
