Holy City Tattooing Collective

Holy City Tattooing Collective is the new name for the shop. Our new # is 843.202.0950 Trey got these chest panels. Trey is rad, and tougher than most. Unfortunately, Trey will be moving soon. I'm really glad I was able to do these for him, and hopefully will do some more work for him in the future, if he ever decides to come back to this side of the country. Zach got cherry blossoms on his forearm. the other side has a luna moth caught in a web. He gets some interesting things tattooed on him. Hopefully this doesn't get him discharged from the Navy. It is a little larger than what they allow nowadays. Either way, good luck in the future, Zach. Lastly, I painted a Ningyo. Basically a japanese mermaid. Referenced from Toriyama's Gazu Hyakki Yagyo series. Easily one of my favorite collections of artwork ever. I would like to do a whole series of paintings of yokai. I would also like to make some tattoos of them.(hint, hint). Tell your friends. I also enjoyed a waterballoon fight with my son today in the scorching Charleston sun. I swear he is way cooler than anyone.

Gettin' Medieval

So, I can't say I've done a ton of Medieval dragons before. I also would say that I wasn't extremely excited about starting this, but within minutes of starting, I had a vision for it. It tuurned out way better than I had originally thought of it. A very happy client = very happy Rob. The owl, without saying, was great fun. Birds will always be in my all time favorite things to tattoo list. Add clothing and human characteristics, and it gets even better. My family moved into a house this month. It has a garage. So my motorcycle decided to force me to use said garage by having carburator problems. Many attempts were made. Carburator and Rob became enemies. 2 weeks later, the battle continued. A truce was made, and a great friend of the shop repaired said carburator. Motorcycle and Rob's bond became greater. We are one. We have won.
