What a week……. tattooed 12 hrs straight yesterday, ill post pictures from then later, for now here is the rest of last week.
Neal came down from Buffalo to get some more on his chest.
Shawn of Occult Vibrations came up from Philadelphia – http://occultvibrations.com
Diego came into have his other palm done……
Josh made the trip from California to get his sleeve worked on………
Gregorio came over from Brazil to have his palm done on Tuesday and the top of his hand on Wednesday……… (crazy)
and last but not least Sarah had some Simple shading added to her bleeding heart.
The is plenty more I worked on also, but some of them I am waiting to show.
If you have ever emailed me and wonder why I either don’t respond or take for ever to get back to you, its because if I’m not spending time with the loves of my life (my family), I am tattooing as much as I can – Thank you for you patience.
And thank you for looking.

I love the butterfly tattoo in his palm, so cool! I think I’d like to get a tattoo, but I’m not sure of what I’d want it to be of.
