First Timers

First Timers

We had six hours planned for this young lady’s first tattoo session, and she was determined to sit until the end. But after four hours she decided she was done. I grew up with her dad, and they traveled from the town of Tonopah four hours away so she could get her first tattoo from…

Covers and Designs

I started another classic horror movie piece beginning with Hannibal Lecter from the movie Silence of the Lambs. She already had the moth from the poster tattooed on her forearm so we put Hannibal right next to it. I’m also going to add Jason Voorhees, Mike Myers, and Ghostface Killer. This one took about two…

Pixar, Poppys, and Damn Apple

I got Rex and Bullseye worked in to the Disney sleeve. Next session I’ll start Buzz Lightyear, then we’ll move downward with some Pirates of the Caribbean stuff and Nightmare Before Christmas. My neighbor came in for her 4th session and got some poppys added to her floral piece. Next time will be some daisies…

Fighting Fires

Fighting Fires

A buddy of mine showed me an online tattoo photo of a firefighter helmet that he really liked. We discussed some ideas to make it more unique for his tattoo. I grabbed my nice camera and some flashes and went to a nearby fire substation where his firefighter gear was. He got all his gear…

So much to tell

So much to tell

I got this design drawn up tonight for an upcoming tattoo next week. Client is a first-timer and she seems pretty excited. I realized earlier today that I hadn’t written anything in awhile – lots going on lately. I started building a fence in the backyard for Lenny when he arrives in a few weeks….

Putting in the Time

Putting in the Time

We’re getting close to the end of a full sleeve. I was able to fill a good portion of my client’s forearm with this menacing woman. I didn’t get completely finished with her. After 3 and a half hours we were both getting hungry. I was happy with the progress. I reversed the design last…

Advertising and Tough Tattoos

I figure TattApp won’t sell if no one knows about it.  I have some YouTube videos on my channel that have gotten tens of thousands of views, so I thought making a demo video with TattApp would be enough to get the word out. However after a few days the views on that video have…

Horror Weeds

Horror Weeds

I continued work on the horror movie leg sleeve today. The upper thigh will consist of the four phases of Dracula from the movie – Prince Vlad, Werewolf, bat creature, and old man. I did the werewolf phase today. Midway through the tattoo I switched to a 23-mag needle, which is pretty wide.  While dipping…

Working always Working

Working always Working

Trying to keep on top of drawing designs, scheduling clients, inventory, ordering supplies, and tattooing can overwhelm me sometimes. Hence no blog the past few days. I worked in some cloud fill on what I believe is session number six on this particular sleeve. We should be done on his next session. Sad story –…

Flowers and School

Flowers and School

Yesterday was the first day of school.  I’ve been driving my son Kaleb to and picking him up from school for over 11 years now. For those who don’t know, I left the hospital with him the day after he was born and have raised him by myself ever since. I won’t go into the…
