Now that we have a plan of attack for the babies arrival, I’m ready to open my books! Just shoot me a message 🙂 Instagram or Facebook.

I love to tattoo everything except realism, there’s tons of amazing artist in the area for that, but If you want luffy in gear 4 smacking Homer Simpson, that’s me all day.

P.s I have a mountain of original drawings that I would love to do. I’ve compiled them into a couple books to flip through in a range of styles I love to do. They’re all one and done pieces, no repeats.

Tattoo artist tip:

when you use a cpl lense (polarizer filter/lense) for your tattoo final shots, you have the readjust your contrast. while it gets rid of unnecessary lights and glares, it also increases your contrast drastically resulting in photos that look super filtered or unrealistic. If you’re shooting on an iPhone (i don’t use android so idk), after you finished taking your photos, go into the photo and edit the contrast until the tattoo looks normal again. Don’t just take the photos and post them. The darker the room, the more it’ll change your contrast so the more you’ll have to adjust later.

Do what you want with this information. 🤷🏻‍♂️
