Day Off!
After an early-morning grocery store visit, I decided to strap the kayak to the Jeep, purchase a fishing license, and head to the reservoir 20 minutes away for some relaxing kayaking and fishing. I got to the middle of the lake, trailing my lure behind me, and I spotted a giant tree. I paddled over…

Bands and Stuff
Tonight I worked on designing a coverup of a name. I was excited to finally order a new tv to replace my aging 12-year-old rear projection beast last week. It arrived yesterday and was so super awesome until I turned it on and saw the black splotch with cascading lines spread across the screen. I…
5-hour Tattoo Today
My son has braces and his mouth was very beat up yesterday so we headed to Reno this morning at 7am to see the orthodontist (60 miles away). We were supposed to leave at 5:45am but I must’ve turned the alarm off in my sleep. My tattoo appt was at 10am but I pushed it…
Jesus tattoo
Today I tattooed the Jesus forearm design. It went pretty smooth, 3 hours from start to finish. This evening I worked on an update for TattApp. There have been a couple things bugging me, mainly the cursor not lining up properly with the Apple Pencil tip. I still was not able to fix that. It’s…
TattApp and some Tats
I had a tattoo artist from Germany contact me a few days ago wondering how to find my new app after seeing my YouTube video. The app hadn’t been approved yet, but by the end of the day it was in the App Store. Pretty cool, I was excited. Yeserday I worked on the ongoing…
TattApp
I have finished development on the first build of my new App. It is available in the iTunes app store! Check out TattApp in the app store! **IMPORTANT** It can ONLY be used on an iPad Pro with a pressure-sensitive stylus such as the Apple Pencil. It is a drawing app for tattoo artists that…
Squirt and the App
Today’s tattoo took almost 3 hours. For the size it doesn’t seem like it should take that long, but with my new style and trying to capture a decent amount of detail, there’s no way to avoid it. You can’t rush the needles. I was doing great for the first two hours, but then I…
Shirts, Lines, and an App
Today’s tattoo was tough. It was all straight lines. And to add to my troubles, the liner needles were struggling to drop ink. The goal was to get the initial pass in so no stencil would be needed for next session. Therefore I did not spend time cleaning up lines as I went because I…
Shop Declutter
I forgot to take pictures of today’s tattoo session. I need to start remembering to do that. I’m using my new release forms now so getting started with a client is taking awhile. At the end of the session I am logging the lot numbers of all the needles and inks that I used on…
Shirts and Jesus
After dropping my son off at school, I took water samples from my shop sink and then drove to Reno to give them to the lab for analysis. This should be the last item to complete for my health permit. I drove back to Fallon and worked on a Jesus design for a client who…
