Hey y’all! Starting to feel the tiniest bit better from my esophageal surgery. I plan on being back to work on the 18th of this month. If anything changes I’ll keep y’all updated. Hit me if you’d like to get in before the sun really comes. Anyways, here’s a finished #peony that I did on Redd a few weeks back. Thanks! Made with @certifiedinks @rookwaveswitch and @officialwickedfast ⬅️check them them out. They good people 👍🏽 and make a great product. . . . ✈️ #Amsterdam 10/25-27 . #jaketongdotcom #tattoo #tattoos #asian #flower #portlandtattoo #neotrad #tattoodesign #tattoosnob #japanese #bright #rockwaveswitch #certifiedink #inkedlife #sketch #amsterdamtattoo tattoo #wickedfastaftercare #colortattoo # #neotraditional #peonies #tattoolife (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/papatong/p/BxI0K48Fkr4/?igshid=182n2zhpinqg7

Walking down #Balmy Ave alley in the #missiondistrict of #sanfrancisco I got to see a lot of #Latino murals that showcased and embraced their heritage. Inspired by the experience, I #painted this picture of #fridakahlo. 🖌 9”x12.25” #watercolor, #sharpie, and #gouche on coldpress #paper . . . . . . . #art #painter #painting #illustration #artwork #pocartist #mexico #frida #neotraditional #jaketongdotcom #tattooart #portrait #artist #fartist #illustrator #portlandartist #portland #color (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/papatong/p/Bw3CGwOlc18/?igshid=s8zhk1phmp92

I was randomly heading to #sanfrancisco for a weekend get-away and happen to catch @missioncrit 6. I missed the qualifiers cause I got too stoned in #dolorespark and went to take a nap. The number of #Instagram #bike celebrities at the race was hefty, you could literally feel the internet’s life force in the air. But for real, it was great to run into a bunch of familiar faces, the #racing was exciting, and it was awesome that the #WTF got the spotlight. There’s a few more #Photos on The Wolfs Mouth, link in bio. . . . . . . . . #sony #sonyalpha #fixedgear #criterium #fixie #trackbike #cycling #bikelife #sonyphotography #bayarea #photography #bicycle #crit #missiondistrict #california (at Mission District, San Francisco) https://www.instagram.com/papatong/p/BwphZQbBRgg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ni9sprb6g4wx

#snitches don’t get stitches if you’re #harrypotter. Thanks Micah for busting me and the good convo. .
