Happy New Year 2009

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. Edith Lovejoy Pierce

A new year is unfolding – like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within. I wish everyone a Happy and Peacefull New Year 2009.

Christmas Celebrations

Merry Christmas

"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas."- Calvin Coolidge

The print on her dress is excellent. I think the design has improved the overall look of the image.

The Nightmare Before Christmas Tattoo...

Based off Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" movie.
Our client was inspired to add this piece to her collection, she has several other movie influenced tattoos as well. You can check out her Edward Scissorhands portrait below.

Wings Tattoo...

First tattoo and she did great, we were pretty pleased with the results as well ;)

Alice In Wonderland Piece...

This is a collaboration piece done by Abel and I
a few years back.
Below is the first sketch we made..I have a few more I will try to dig up and post.
Some of you might recognize the mural....it was featured in the movie "Pineapple Express"...right before the hilarious cop car chase.

Comic Art Tattoo

Client brought in a picture of a comic character he liked, we thought she was pretty cool as well.

For Nana...

Today's piece was for a client to memorialize his Nana, who
passed away not so long ago. He liked the idea of the sugar skull and what it represents.

Happy Thanksgiving..

Happy Thanksgiving!
Today is a day to be grateful, so let me start by saying thanks to all of you. We appreciate the time you take to visit our blog and our shop. We are very blessed to have all the great clients and friends we have, and we look forward to knowing all of you for many more years to come. Have a great day enjoy you're turkeys and we hope to see you soon. :)

Happy Thanksgiving

I love thanksgiving. it reminds me of being a kid again. One of those couple days a year where you can put aside most of your responsibilities and just relax with family, watch old movies and eat till your sides burst. hope you all are having a great day and remembering the things you have to be thankful for.
God Bless.

Harley Quinn Tattoo...

It's not that often I get to tattoo an animation piece,

and on top of that a Bruce Timm design!!If you're not familiar with his work..Google him and take a look at what you've been missing.

Van Gogh Depression...

Vincent Van Gogh's deepest piece was this clients latest request. For some when receiving a tattoo there is no meaning behind the piece, and for others there is much more of an expression of feelings. It is when I do pieces like these that I am reminded of how therapeutic tattoos are for so many people. Each one has it's own story, it's own deep meaning, that words could not describe. Feelings that only ink could express.

Abel Rocha Tattoos...

For those of you that have been living under a rock for the last fifteen years
and don't know who Abel Rocha is..
Let us tell you that words cannot describe this guy's talent you gotta see it to believe it....
He is an award winning artist who's talents range from Tattooing to Air brushing, to amazing Digital art. Although Abel Rocha is great at whatever style of work he does, he clearly reigns supreme at custom "Black & Grey" style tattooing. He has an awe-inspiring ability to capture a persons likeness when he takes on a portrait like no one else. As for his custom tattoos, just take a look at some of his work above. He began by drawing directly on the skin with a pen and followed that up with his tattoo machine, resulting in a marvelous tattoo that has all the qualities of realistic nature. Abel Rocha's tattoos have life to them, they are never flat or boring he brings so much detail to them, that anyone looking long enough will be captured themselves only in pure amazement. It is our great pleasure to work with Abel Rocha we look forward to many more of his masterpieces and will post more of his work as it is available.

I think anyone can recognize this celebrity. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is my all time Favourite actress. I am a huge fan of her. Yet I have made very few art images of her.

Till Death Do Us Part...

Here is a larger back piece we did for a client very much in love with his fiance. Two skulls (a male and female) along with a note that reads "Til Death Do us part".This piece is a symbol of his commitment to her...we wish you both nothing, but the best :)
