So far this afternoon I’ve drafted a Borneo back piece, a half sleeve by Camille Rose Garcia, a Lichtenstein and a back panel of a Humpback Whale. Few things are as sweet as jammin’ to good music while creating sweet tattoos. Good times.

So, I posted this tattoo *LIVE* on Facebook as it evolved in real time on May 4.

This was a lot of fun, so be sure to check out the studio Facebook page for more live tattoos in real time.

Something fun to check in on during the work day, eh?

Here’s a portion of an extensive Blue Whale back piece.  We’re using the bubbles bring energy, texture and depth to the expanses of ocean blue.  Bubbles rock!

Hey Hey Hey… this is going to be one sweet cover up!  Joe wanted to keep his moon design while covering the existing bicep band.  The plan was an extensive tribal piece.  I sketched a basic concept on paper, and then we spent the first hour of his appointment customizing the design to tailor fit his arm.  What you see here is phase one… the outline of the new piece.  Stay tuned for phase two:  super sweet solid tribal fill… coming up in a couple of weeks!
