Friend tattoos on Lyndsie and Kelley, two of my favorite clients and friends.

Best walk-in ever

Made in into the new International Tattoo Art magazine.

This is on a fellow Ohio tattoo artist, going to do the other side soon.

This is on a new client, Jay. This guy is full of good ideas.

FIller for an awkward spot, still a fun one, I’ve never done a spur before.

This is a healed pic, based off some Spaulding flash.

Tiger shark fighting an Octopus. This was a real fun piece to finish off the bottom of his arm.

This was done on a client that came down from Detroit.
