More tattoos on Marines, past and present...

The start of a leg sleeve started with artwork my client, Brian brought in. I've been tattooing Brian for about 12 years now and this leg will eventually be filled up with his memories of Iraq.

Barn owl is complete, background next.

Head Shrinking Cover-Up

The stencil is already applied over some friend-made scratch marks in need of a cover-up. The new tattoo should be larger to better hide the old one.

This shrunken head with lots of black and bright color hides the old marks easily.

Amy Winehouse Shocking Tattoo Revealed

This customer brought in a 1940's pin-up he liked along with some photos of Amy Winehouse to use for the head and outfit. I wasn't very happy with the photos because the tattoo is on a thin arm it looks really warped in the pics and lots of glare from the flash, as usual. This one was hard to keep from looking like a transvestite pin-up, from 2007.
