Backpiece and Freehand
Yesterday I got in a couple more hours on this full backpiece of a lady wearing a headdress behind a wolf. The woman had healed up well from the last session and I spent the entire time getting the wolf into place. I always put the stencil on with the body in a neutral position…

Skull Octopus and Copyrights
Today was a repeat client getting a skull-octopus on her arm. Black and gray work is always fun. I enjoy creating depth with shading. We were going to run some tentacles down her back but ran out of time since I had to go pick up my son and my niece from school. Last night…
Skulls and a Sunflower
I did this black and grey skull with headdress the other day on the back of a calf. Client was originally from Chicago but has been here in Fallon working on the navy base since 2009. He has tattoo work in progress by another artist in Reno, but after I finished this one he said…
Immortan Joe and the Comic
Session three took place yesterday on my son’s Mad Max: Fury Road tattoo. We absolutely loved that movie. We talked about maybe even making his entire arm an homage to the Mad Max movies (if he ever decides he wants to do more). For now though he’s got a pretty cool first tattoo. I told…
Bad Stencil and Stuff
Today’s half-sleeve session started with me being unable to make a stencil. I had the linework printed and sized correctly, but feeding it through my old 3M Thermofax machine yielded no stencil. This can be a panic situation, and inside I was a bit perturbed, but I had some options and theories. I do have…
Snake and the Female policy
A while back I had correspondence with a new client who booked up this weekend for her and her friend. I was having trouble getting her to respond to messages and confirm times, and I woke up Saturday morning to a message from her saying she was cancelling. So I had the entire weekend off….
Just tattooing
I finished up a Roman soldier tattoo on a sleeve a couple days ago. I think it’s looking pretty good. In two weeks we’re going to work on the rest of the forearm. Yesterday I started work on a new full-arm sleeve. He has a tattoo of a tiger he got in the Philippines 30…
Painting Idea and Scuba Women
My visit to Jarbidge recently has got me thinking about an idea for a new oil painting. I started a sketch and reached out to my Facebook people for some reference materials. I’m supposed to meet a guy tomorrow to discuss early 20th century Nevada cowboy attire. Vacation put me behind on all sorts of…
Lotus and Skull
I worked some more on that coverup/sleeve design. I’m using Hector’s skull as reference, still gotta add the clock hands. I may be spending too much time on the design, but it does look cool. I finished a lotus flower tattoo yesterday. She brought in a set amount of cash – which put in an…
