PINK BULLDOG TATTOO

"Apple stood out, not only because of her vibrant color, but also because of her bubbly personality. She was a great dog, but she kept many secrets. Secrets that will soon find their way to the surface."

I tattooed this piece on Scott Olive's girlfriend while doing a guest spot at Oddity Tattoo in Sarasota, Florida. The piece took me about 4 hours total.

CORPORATE CHARACTER TATTOO


"In the beginning he had nothing but good intentions, but the more time he spent in the company the more he lost of his original self."

Had a "no-show" for my Saturday slot at Tattoolapalooza in Miami this past June so I squeezed this piece in. Sketched the entire piece on with marker and knocked it out in about 3.5 hrs.

ALLERGIES TATTOO


A fellow tattoo artist from Greensboro, North Carolina drove up to get this piece from me. He asked me to put together a piece that would represent all of his allergies so I drew up a cat trying to defend itself from a shrimp and some dust mites with an inhaler. This piece took me roughly 15 hours total.

RALPHIE TATTOO


I created this piece as a memorial for my client's late ferret who used to eat all the plants in her house. She flew in from Ontario, Canada twice for a total of 13 hours to get this piece.

The Rescue Tattoo

Tattooed this piece on a good friend of mine named Heather. Never really been a fan of drawing flowers, but she let me sneak a couple of little critters in there to keep me entertained.

FOOD CHAIN TATTOO


This tattoo illustrates a day in the life of one of my soccer buddies who is a master chef at the infamous Shafer Court. It took me about 15 hours to complete.

SUPER SNAIL TATTOO

Just because you were born slow doesn't mean you can't excel.


VULTURE CULTURE TATTOO


Tattooed this piece on my buddy Ryan a couple of years back down in Cocoa, FL. He had originally asked for a vulture on the side of his calf which I was really excited about tattooing. I sat down, started to draw, and got a little carried away. Fourteen hours later, this is what he ended up with.

FISHFOOT TATTOO


Did this tattoo on the beautiful miss Tyler Dobbins as a continuation to the "Little Tyler" piece I did on her a couple years back.

SOBER MONKEY TATTOO

Did this one on Lucas, an old friend from Heidelberg High School. This piece was put together in late '09 at Ghost Print Gallery Tattoo.

KILLER KOON

Did this on my buddy Devin Taylor, owner of Bleeding Star Clothing, in Vegas this past October. Took me about seven hours.

Surfacing Serpent


This was done on a good friend of mine, Tom Sr., owner of Fuzion Ink, in Norfolk, VA. He originally asked me for a small dragon on his chest and ended up getting this.

SLOW COOKER

Dropped this off at Vegas back in October '09.



SURFER CHICK!

Dropped this off in Denmark a couple years back.


BABY SKULL!

Dropped this off in San Diego back in July!


DOES NO EVIL!

Dropped this off in Cocoa, Florida back in June. Took me about 9 hours. Been too busy to get anything on here lately. I'm gonna try and update a little more frequently here in the next couple of weeks. Got a ton of new stuff to show off. Stay tuned...


RAT RACE

Dropped this off in Vegas at the Mario Barth's Biggest show on Earth. Took me about 9.5 hours.


SWINGING DICK!

So I arrived in San Diego last week with a few slots available to tattoo. The first day I walked into Five Two Tattoo there was this fella sitting there waiting for me. After talking a bit he asked me if I would be interested in tattooing a "dick on a swing" on his inner thigh. Initially I was really not feeling the idea so I told him I'd think about it and get back to him. After a couple days of dishin around the idea I decided to give it a try. This is what I came up with.


In today's news, Pick and I took a train from San Diego to L.A. It was about a 3 hour trip total. Arrived in L.A. at about 7PM and have been hangin around the hotel catchin up on some internet time. Tomorrow we're gonna stop by the Tattoo Lounge here in Venice beach and talk to Bugs a bit before we head out to the beach to take some photos and do some sketchin. Gotta a couple tattoos that I did in Miami that I'd like to post so hopefully I'll have a little time tomorrow to post them. Till then, Enjoy my Swingin Dick:)


BATTLE FOR THE BRAIN!!

I dropped this piece off about 2 weeks ago in Miami beach for the first annual Tattoolapalooza. I stayed super busy and got to hang out with one of my bestest friends Jason Stephan. All in all I had a great time!


I ended up scooping up "Tattoo of the Day" on Sat. which is pretty awesome being that there were a ton of Awesome tattoo artists there. The collector of this piece had been battling a disease that ended up requiring surgery and changing his way of life. During his battle with this disease he thought that it would ruin his quality of life. So I created this piece to illustrate that although the disease may have won the small battle, there was a bigger battle to be fought. The battle for the brain and his ability to continue a high quality life even with his loss.

Today Electric Pick and I are gonna go chill out at a cafe' and release some of this creative energy that has accumulated over the past couple of days. We just spent two full days at the comic-con and are overwhelmed by the inspiration. Hopefully I'll have some fun stuff to show you soon. Till then, stay safe, it's a dangerous world out there!!
