Booking consultations in 6 months!

This back piece is in progress. The dragonfly was already there when I started working. There is also a coverup on the lower back that we have yet to complete. 

 Here is the upstairs of Diving Swallow, where I work! My station is in the corner by the window, where all the plants are.

 

In progress, from light to dark.

 

This is a coverup piece I just started. Under the dark flower is an older tattoo of my client’s that we worked over. The butterfly is older too, however we are going to just sharpen up the color on this one. More to come soon!

 

The progress of origami hummingbird sleeve. Background still to come.

 

A new section in the downstairs of the shop for our friend Leslie Mah, who is fighting cancer. Come buy prints to support her!

 

This came in for a consultation last week! Root veggies sleeve. I will be basing it off of this and other images sent my way. Food tattoos are so fun. Especially ones that grow, have roots, leaves, and nourish us all so completely.

My work was recently featured on the ‘Best Art Tattoos of All Time’! They are

numbers 26-28.

#26 Jack Pierson Last Chance Lost and David Wojnarowicz .

#27 is a painting duplication of Jasper Johns, Figure 8, 1959.

#28 is a duplication of Andy Warhol’s Early Self-Portrait, 1964 and below that is a

sculpture duplicationof Feliz Gozalez-Torres candies from Untitled (Portrait of Ross in LA), 1991

 

Here is a copy of the article with the featured  photographs!

Just finished this fun outline of a transformation piece. The hummingbirds and blossoms change from origami to realism as they move up the arm. In our next color session we will be concentrating on a few of the top birds.
