I'd like to share a few tattoos from my last trip to NY. Here we go...

Dan decided to put Satan laughing on his hand forever.

Curt's Bloodhound (in progress).

Spent Easter Sunday doing this on Peter. Unfortunately I didn't do the Sriracha Bottle.

Thank you Thicker Than Water Tattoo for having me.

My trip to Graceland Tattoo went very well. Thank you Adam for having me, I'll be back again.

Here is some of the work I did from my trip...

It's a little past the season, but never to late to get a tattoo reminding us of good times. This one is from a classic movie which everyone should know of. If you don't either you live under a rock or I am getting old all of a sudden.

This one is inspired by The Time Machine, on Laura.

I'm off to New York! March 2-10 I'll be out east. Working(and totally booked) at Graceland Tattoo March 2-5 in Wappingers Falls, NY. The rest of the time I will be in the city getting tattooed or tattooing. See you soon NYC.

I am proud to announce I have my first run of prints available.

My prints are printed on 300gram Entrada paper. They were printed at Art Printer Fine Art & Printing in Culver City, CA. The originals were digitally scanned at the highest resolution possible, then printed using the highest quality ink and printers. Jeremy and Adam are more than helpful!

The larger of the three prints, "After Forever" is 9" x 12" with a half inch white border, price is set at $50 US including shipping and handling.

The two smaller prints, "Postive" and "Negative" are 5" x 5.5" with a half inch white border, price is set at $40 for the set including shipping and handling. You can only buy these as a set, not individually.

You can view the originals in my 'Fine Art' section of my website.

All of these prints are a limited edition run of 50, hand numbered and signed by myself. 

Here is a sneek peek of the prints...
