Sugar!

I tattooed this sugarskull over a really bad scar the other day. He was born and raised in Mexico, where apparently arm wrestling is a very big sport amonst teenagers. The scar came from getting his arm broke in one of those matches, where the bone popped straight out of it. Ouch!

I love tattooing sugarskulls, and really enjoyed doing this one.

Changes....

So, big changes, my friends.

Last month I was asked to join the crew over at Body Manipulations (3234 16th Street @ Dolores
San Francisco, CA 94103), so last week I made the move. I've only worked a few days so far, but I am enjoying it thoroughly. New neighborhood, new coworkers.... it's nice to change it up some.

I've spent the majority of the past 5 years in the Haight/Ashbury neighborhood, and as much as it helped me become who I am, the time had come. Cold Steel was great, I made lots of friends that are now family, and I thank Paul for giving me that opportunity years ago more than he will ever know.

Here are a few photos of some things I did the last month there.
