Japanese Tiger Body Suit Painting

Japanese Tiger Body Suit Painting

blog
One of the many perks about what I do is being able to travel and meet all kinds of interesting people within this industry. This painting here was done for a man, the man, Clay Decker from True Tattoo in Hollywood California. It's a body suit with a Traditional Japanese motif going on. You got the cherry blossoms, wind bars, finger waves and last but definitely not least, the mighty Tiger. Very fun piece I had the pleasure of doing.

The Tough Mandala

The Tough Mandala

blog
Mandalas are going hard these days! Might as well make 'em look tough. This one here has more of a Tibetan influence, done in black and grey on the back of a female's leg. I've noticed these are more attractive to Women, but honestly, this idea could go either way. I am very fortunate for these concepts to come to life and for the clients who allow me to create magical inspirations on them!

The Eagle Reaper

The Eagle Reaper

blog
Don't fear the Reaper, especially if he's got the wings of an Eagle. He's busting out of the fire and brimstone, soaring to new heights of freedom and, yes, Death. Death could be considered the ultimate Freedom. This creature here was designed with basically just ink, water color paper and a hefty imagination. Definitely a great study for a tattoo concept or at least to get the brain juices flowing if you're into skulls, eagles, death and explosions!

Chrysanthemum Tattoo Study

Chrysanthemum Tattoo Study

blog
The Chrysanthemums are native to Asia and Northeastern Europe and come in a variety of colors. This is a water color painting that I have created to show an example of how those colors can come together to create depth within a flower tattoo. Definitely a great concept and study if you're into Asian culture and designs.

Japanese Dragon Back Piece

Japanese Dragon Back Piece

blog
This tattoo of a Japanese dragon is still in progress. Tattooing like this takes time. I'm very fortunate to have clients with this type of dedication as is this on fellow tattooer and friend Joe Hawks, owner of Hawks Electric tattoo in Tampa Florida. Joe and I have been plugging away on this for a bit now . We are getting close to wrapping it up. It's always a little bittersweet, but I am glad to get them finished up. Never glad to be done! Only until this type of work seems finished can we really start to put in the extra work that will really start to separate if from the rest. And can get the extra tricks in for sure. These were the goals I had early on…

Reaper Tattoo

Reaper Tattoo

blog
Reapers! They come in many forms. This one has wings and lightning, so he's a bit more electrifying than ever. If you take a moment to get in depth with this picture, you see an eye. He's there to see the future, past and present. Death is a constant of the times, he keeps his sight on all things Worldly or Underworldly. As always I am very thankful for the dedication of this client to see this process through.

Dragon on Female

Dragons, Dragons, Dragons! I love Dragons. Traditionally they are associated with bodies of water; ponds, lakes, rivers etc.. So Water Spirits or Gods, if you will. They have also been known to bring good luck and are seen as being very the very wisest of creatures. The tattoo shown here is of a Traditional Japanese Dragon being depicted with cherry blossoms and a bit of smoke with fire. A very colorful piece I did down the side of a female client. Again I am very thankful for the time and dedication it took to create this piece. It's what we are about!
