I completed this design with my ipad while on the plane ride to and from Florida a few weeks ago. I listen to a heavy amount of dancehall, so that was the inspiration for this piece. I also created the gangster font using a recently acquired app that allows you to render custom alphabets. Badass.
I was happy to do this graf piece on a kid that came in the shop. I wanna do more graf inspired tattoo art!
...and a nice girl came in for a very colorful phoenix piece on her arm.
My girlfriend and I took a bike ride to the national aviary just before the weather became too cold. 
This guy pictured above wasn't cool with having his photo taken...
...and struck my camera lens with his beak so hard I thought he broke it! This is him mid-attack!
Took this pic while riding back...The city where I was born.
For my girlfriends birthday, I took her to Florida. Where we enjoyed the last of the sun and swimming for this year. It was my first holiday ever that wasn't involving business in some fashion. It was much needed.
Here's a new design I created for stickers and possibly shirts. I'm very happy at the new shop, and have been very busy with an abundance of great customers. If your in the area, call to book an appointment!
Here's my costume...Officer Atomik on patrol for vandals...keeping the streets safe! Anyone who knows me understands why this is so funny and ironic
My girl and I carved some pumkins at the tattoo shop carving party
Saw this car on the way home...."Say car ramrod!" Hahaa....badass
My girl and I celebrated our six month mark together
and at the Meeting of the Marked Tatty Con my friend Clint S. from AZ gave me a fresh tattoo. Thanks Clint! Pics coming soon...
I painted this wooden panel for my friend Melony who is part owner of Mantis Tattoo. It was her birthday so I banged out this skull piece the other night while getting drunk off some good rum. Haven't painted a canvas in a bit so it felt pretty fuckin good
Finished this piece yesterday. Some things never go out of style...skulls are one of them.

This is a quicky digital design I did for the shop. My favorite time of the year!!
Here's a remix I did of a digital design I did on my ipad. A lot of friends who saw the original suggested that I add more makeup to her face, so here it is
I recently did this on a great girl who wanted a tattoo piece to remember her grandmother. I always love to do religious black and grey tattoos
Here's the first promo design I did for the shop. Karlis the owner gave me a sketch of a bugged out mantis he drew and I completed it digitally. An spoof of one of our favorite movies, Menace To Society
I also tattooed this skull on him, which he gave me a rough sketch to start with and let me finish the design how I saw fit. He rides bmx and had his front two teeth knocked out so that explains the gear and missing teeth. We threw the paint brush and tattoo needle in the mix to represent his love for art. Now I can't wait to get my tattoo from him...
