As black as your heart-

Here are a pair of tattoos that went down recently. A good ol' tommy gun and a good ol' granny. The young ladies who i put this on, her grandma was attacked by a dog as a child and and suffered some damages to an eye and other features making it rather challenging . I'm content with the way her face came, it's certainly a good likeness but not so satisfied with the hair. Thanks for looking.

ol' number 2

There's something very comforting in a number 2 pencil. No matter what your skill level or artistic  achievement in life, whether your a graphic designer, a highly sought after contemporary gallery artist or a humble tattooer like myself, chances are it all began with a yellow number 2 pencil at the kitchen table. Please forgive my introspective reminiscence but I find it cathartic to return to your "roots" so to speak, it doesn't get much more natural and comforting than a crisp piece of paper and that all so familiar piece of wood between your grasp. I spent the better part of the day drawing in just this manner, no fancy pencils or charcoal sticks and certainly no Arches french pressed paper. Simply good old computer paper and the old deuce. It's a fairly random ensemble. Here's the results. As always thanks for viewing.
