Phil Simms girl with dragon

Phil Simms was a amazing tattooer. This is my version of a flash piece in his book (available through State of Grace). I'm not even sure his version was the first. Going back and finding old flash and doing your take on it goes back a long way. I just think if you're doing it now you should give credit where credit is due. 

Single Needle Tattoos

Single Needle is my favorite way to tattoo. It can look gangster or it can look punk rock. If you fuck up it's obvious you did. It looks good over time. You can do anything with this particular technique. I don't know if I lump into any particular group but I definitely tattoo like this more often than not.

Monsters I done drawn up and tattooed

"Finks"

more or less artwork inspired by Ed Roth. Personally my biggest influences are Eddie Deutsch, and Greg Irons. This is all I want to tattoo everything else is just killing time between monsters.

snake eating skulls

This here painting is a snake eating skulls. I'm just starting a blog here and beginning to understand the reason people use these, on facebook this picture looks like shit. You go to hell and you die facebook.

oldies but goodies

These are a couple years old now, I dunno 2007 or something.. I still kinda like them even though I think   there's a lot of things I would do differently now.. Thats everything I suppose
