Do you want to get to the next level

Do you want to get to the next level

blog
I have been getting closer on wrapping up a few projects this has one one more session left. I'm very grateful to have the clients I do and the trust they give me to conquer projects like this, which was started about 3 months ago. Custom tattoos like this can happen with proper follow through and the endurance to make the big investment in their tattoo. Ive been tattooing in Tampa, Florida for six years now and things have been great. We are finishing fun tattoos and starting new ones. If you are interested in getting a custom tattoo done stop by the shop I'd love to meet you and speak in person about what we can do for you!! Thank you for visiting our tattoo blog here at Tabernacle…

[caption id="attachment_362" align="alignnone" width="207"] Rainbow wizard action with vortex of space and apocalyptic smoke of the future tattoo design[/caption] [caption id="attachment_364" align="alignnone" width="215"] Pen and ink illustration for Tabernacletattoo merch . Sometimes its fun to see how much impact i can achieve with pen and ink its very direct and translates well in to tattooing. With all the shortcuts in art today it a no fake it until you make it process either you can draw or not! The illustration process is at this point in tattooing is going to be the most valid with half breed tracers at best .Who do not seem to understand balance of composition or backgrounds at all. I really enjoy a natural fluent background with an organic feel as if you were born with…

Ireland adventure at love hate social club

Ireland adventure at love hate social club

blog
Im really finally getting the opportunity to reflect on some of the things I am truly grateful for, we have been busy at the tattoo shop and for that and our excellent clients Im truly happy.  Tampa has been keeping us busy proving awesome custom tattoos but sometimes its always nice to escape one reality and enter another.  I traveled to Love Hate Social Club in Cork City, Ireland which was an amazing experience, I got to tattoo a lot of really amazing people during my time there.  Love Hate Social Club was founded by Ami James of Miami Ink and Ross Nigel of All-Star Tattoo in Limerick City, Ireland.  While I was in Ireland I had the pleasure of working with Damien Ross of Invisible NYC and Paul O'Rourke…

Skull and Water

Skull and Water

blog
There's a lot of colorful ink work I have done, but doing black and grey tattoos can be just as visually appealing too. This guy right here is a skull popping out of some finger waves and wind bars with stars in his eyes. Why? Because he's probably a reaper looking into the future, past and present or maybe just staring into the abyss of your soul. Again, smaller tattoos are always a blast to work on and create depth within them.

Dragon Party!

Dragon Party!

blog
This is another fun, water color painting I did as a study for a Japanese Dragon tattoo. He's busting out with flames creating some Traditional Japanese puffy clouds and wind. Who wouldn't want to party with this dude? Day in and day out I strive to enhance or maybe perfect in a creative light how these magical creatures should be projected. Sometimes that leads to Dragon Parties. As always I am very appreciative of the work I have been tasked to do and the ability to express how I see things through this art.

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!

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.
