Almost finished dragon back piece worked on over the last 2 years between trips to Afghanistan. I won't get to work on this one again until next summer.

The Legoland Stormtrooper Excuse


A lot of times family men need a good excuse to get a tattoo. This one is to help commemorate the family's 2010 Legoland vacation.
I had my doubts about the Lego Death Star and can now say any further requests for Lego tattoos will be denied.

Know Your Rights


Internment Camp Buddha

The original art for this tattoo was made of cut paper by the customer's great grandfather, one of more than 100,000 Japanese-Americans who's rights and property were taken by our federal government.
Executive Order 9066 from Feb. 1942 allowed military commanders to declare California, Oregon and Washington 'exclusion zones'. With a little help from the Census Bureau, Japanese-Americans were 'excluded' from the west coast and placed into desert prison camps for the remainder of the war.
The tattoo is a negative version of the original design but is otherwise unchanged.

Harley-Schwinn Reversable


Pin-up girl posed on a 1930 Harley-Schwinn Reversable, a motorcyle that could be turned around and ridden as a bicycle. Only a few were made.
The tattoo was finished in one 6 hour session.
