Sacramento!

So, the next chapter has arrived. After spending three years in Charleston,SC, the decision to head back to California was made. I cannot thank my clients in Charleston enough for being so amazing and allowing me to push myself and create so much whilst being there. I think my abilities grew substantially through all of them. Here are some projects that I got to wrap up before leaving town. So, now, I am in Sacramento. It has been three months now, and I believe I enjoy living here even more than I expected. Very friendly people, a beautiful tree laden town, and more convenience to travel and be close to friends and family. I am now tattooing at Legacy Tattoo, in East Sac. The shop is clean and has so much eye candy. The crew is really friendly and creative, and I have been welcomed with open arms. Come by, get a tattoo, and shoot the shit. I would be glad to have you.

Back to California!

So the journey westward is approaching us yet again. After 3 years of living here in Charleston, we have decided to head back to California. Charleston has treated us well, but we sure do miss our friend and family! We are planning on moving to Sacramento, so all my San Francisco clients, you won't be so far away anymore! So here is some more tattoos to look at.

Japanese works

For the past few years I have been doing a ton of research on Japanese tattooing. Between the thousands I have spent on books and being fortunate enough to have worked alongside some great people, persistence and dedication, I think I am figuring things out a little. I can't thank all of my clients over the years for helping me get where I have gotten thus far.

Snakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yet another favorite theme of mine. I fucking love snakes. Not in real life, but as tattoos and drawing them, I think they are amazing. Here is a few from the past year.

Chest

I've never attempted anything quite like this before. I hand built this trunk for Amanda for our 7 year anniversary back in February. I am really proud of this, considering the last thing I made with wood was a skate ramp when I was in high school about 14 or 15 years ago.

Lady Head

So it has been quite some time since I have updated this blog. I absolutely love tattooing lady heads, and here is a sample of some I have done since my last post. Some are healed, and some are fresh.
