I haven’t kept up with this blog in the last couple months I believe, shame on me! Here are some photos of my first tattoo of 2018. Done on one of my most loyal clients, this piece was so fun to design and tattoo. I can’t express how much I love being given elements for a concept and being told “do whatever you’d like with the idea”. As any artist does, I’m sure! What’s really cool about this piece is that I was able to use our shop owner’s Dan Kubin machine for the linework. For any of you who aren’t familiar, thee machines are basically just amazing, to put it bluntly. They are rare and expensive and work like butter. Single pass lines are everything to someone like me who primarily focuses on traditional and neo traditional tattooing and this machine delivers! I have to buy one for myself for sure. Anyway, prepare for tattoo spam!
