One week til the Cape
This is a speedy catchup posting, since I haven't been posting often at all. I'm heading up to Massachusetts for next week to guest spot at Coastline Tattoo. Pretty excited to go! I've never been up that way, road trip time!
This woman has a wedding quickly approaching and needed this old bird tattoo covered asap. She wanted a day of the dead inspired girl head and we worked her new husbands name into the coverup. The photo isn't the best but I hope to see her in for a healed pic.
This was a fun walkin at No Ka Oi one day... a cook! Love this one!
Another walkin, Fun lettering across the chest. Not an easy area at all... still need work in this spot but so long as I take my time all goes well.
Heather came back for another one! We finished the cameo and now a tree on the opposite leg... this one goes onto the foot as well to compliment the cherry blossoms on the other foot. More to come on this one...... going to add color next time!
A fun chrysanthemum from No Ka Oi!
Nicole's dock tattoo healed PERFECT! So stoked she came back so I can take a pic! Hope to see her again for another one! She was a trooper!
Another walkin, his first tattoo. What a fun image he brought in!
Barber inspired tattoo on my friend Carl from Hawaii... he came to visit and I finally got to tattoo him!!! YAY!
This was one of my clients from few months ago... got this lettering in her Dad's writing for him.... always a good reminder to have with you always.
The cityscape was an appointment. The girl brought me a contour line drawing she did herself and she wanted to only do linework and work her design around her arm. After some resketching we ended up with this.
This was a walkin at the South St location... you can see what he had, and what he left with! Fun coverup practice!
Elbow fun!
A fun bug design done at No Ka Oi
BIG B
Also done on Dave... hes been making trips between Maine and Virginia and stopping in Philly each time he passes through! He let me do this fun moth as a filler piece!
This is the start of a lower leg sleeve.... shark to come later!
This was a technical nightmare.... after some serious sweating its done!
Thanks to Becca from Moore College for letting me do this fun My Little Pony on her! She and I went to college together and shes watched me go from school, to apprentice, to artist! Thank you for waiting Becca!!!! The photo is kind of light but when it heals I'll get a better one.
Cute wings done at No Ka Oi...
Another Moore girl! My old friend Hannah got this in homage to the late Wyet Earp... her man who she lost not too long ago to Cancer. She was kind enough to let me do my first dog portrait on her! Thanks to Hannah for also waiting for me to finish the apprenticeship and do this fun tattoo on her! More to come!
I have more images to post to be continued.....

Summer update!
So it's been steady lately, alot of new challenges everyday!
Walkin at the NJ shop - his first one!
Another first timer.... this was a two session job, the lettering (yes its upside down) was his idea (it has special significance to him and his family). He sat well for it and I can't wait to see it healed. It was a challenge tattooing this area, however tribal and lettering are the best practice! Kudos to Nik for being a trooper for this one!
This was a walkin as well, had a very specific way he wanted this design and the lettering so we went with it.
Thanks to Carmen again for the We the People tattoo. Had a blast doing it and he sat so well! (done over at the NJ shop its across his shoulders)
The roses and banners were done at No Ka Oi on a nice young guy, this was his first one.
It healed great!!!!! Did another one on him it will be posted later on in this post!
One of my good friends from college came in to get this homage to her pup and best friend Wyet! Can't wait to color this one in!!!
Jessica Rabbit - bad pic
Crazy octopus started a week or so ago.. kinda fun painterly spots which was fun...totally different from how I drew it, but he was really cool and we met in the middle with his design, I got to keep the suckers how I drew them and made the outside and eyes of the octopus the way he wanted them. Always a compromise, we can't tell people what to get.... in the end it's still their tattoo and we should give them what they want. However in most cases people want the impossible, or next to impossible. Anyway hope to see him back to finish it!
Done on my boyfriend.... really stoked to color this one in. I got to do one of my girl heads again!
Lettering done at NKO
Small walkin
Fun lotus done at NKO
Started this tattoo... he already had the heart, we added a state outline and a rose with vine... he wants to come back to color the vines.
Thanks to Nicole for this awesome tattoo! I loved doing this!!! She actually came back this week and it healed great! Pics to follow!
Geometric design walkin at NKO
This one was fun too! Stone Mayan design on her arm! Hope to get more like this!
More geometric stuff! This guy always gives me a challenge!!!
Flying Pig!!!! Love love love this one!!! I hope to see this guy back for the flying cow!!!!
Lettering done at No Ka Oi
Another fun walkin, her first tattoo!
Grateful Dead design!
Will post more soon! Been keeping busy!
