"everything, everyone, everywhere ends"

A little addition

Several months back I tattooed this piece of a lady in a hourglass. Well we decided to make an addition to the tattoo and go up onto the shoulder. I'm super stoked on the final outcome and so is she.

Esao Andrews painting

This gentleman came to me with a Esao Andrews design and decided to go right on the ribs. Perfect spot to display this piece. These tattoos are loads of fun, because I get to approach them just as I would approach a real painting.

Rock Climbing

So these past three months I've decided to take up a new hobby, indoor rock climbing. Now my goal is to get good enough and have the confidence to actually take some trips to do some real outdoor climbing, but for now its all indoor training. Vertical Ventures in Tampa is primarily where I go once or twice a week to get my fix, but this past sunday a buddy and I drove out to Melbourne to check out On The Edge climbing gym. He packed a cooler with sandwiches fruit and cold drinks. It was pretty cool, lots of tricky boulder problems and high top roping. Each gym has different things to offer. I'm straight hooked, I mean I have the climbing bug as some may put it. This has helped me step out and remember how much fun it is to be active and go outdoors. Next venture will be purchase a kayak for myself. A Christmas gift to myself that I can get good use of. Here are a couple pics of the gym in Melbourne.

Da Vinci and World maps

This guy brought in a bunch of DaVinci sketches and ideas. He wanted a world map and then a star constellation on one side and flames representing the sun on the other. My memory is bad, I don't remember what the quote meant, but it seemed very meaningful to my client.

Japanese Mask & Koi tattoos

I did the mask last February, but finally found a descent photo. There's more to come on the sleeve. The nouveau koi was done a few weeks back while doing a guest spot up at the ole Ocala Tattoo shop. My old stomping grounds. Good times

Floral Sleeves

Both of these ladies wanted some floral inspired pieces. The one on the right is actually going to be added to and brought down to the wrist and inner arm. I'll keep you updated on that venture.

Peacock Backpiece

This was a partial coverup. She had a couple older tattoos on her lower back we got rid of.

dragon rib piece

Here's an older tattoo i found pics of while going through some files. I worked on this during the Cigar City Convention in Ybor City, FL this past January. I'll be posting a handful of pics soon once I setup a photoshoot for my clients, so check back.

koi tattoo

I did this one several months back, but finally got a nice healed photo, thanks Rick(ddrum). Enjoy

Northern Ink Exposure - Toronto Recap

This past June I attended the Northern Ink Exposure in Toronto, Canada. It was a first for me and I must say it was a great time. Surrounded by a great city w/ good people and good tattoos made this a setting for a fun weekend. I will be there next year for sure. Here is a couple tattoos that I got to do while I was there. Not the best pictures, but hey hopefully I'll see them next year and get better pics. Enjoy your weekend, happy independance day !
