Tattoopalooza

It is my intention to FINALLY update the tattoo area on this here website thingy. December is a little slow at the shop, so plenty of time… right?
I’ll post the pics here as well, as I get them ready for the portfolio and tattoo galleries.
Here’s a few of that polynesian style that I seem to do a lot of. The pec and shoulder from about 2 years ago, and the leg from this spring. 2 different clients, Ken and Gordon.

I just finished this piece for Thorn over at INSTIGATOR to be popped into an interview with Brad McGuire and his BF. It was fun to do so… there was a time when Brad was my favorite porn star :)

Anyways look for it in the next issue of that mag.

Fresno Bully Rescue

Sammy smiles

It’s been a little more than a year since I adopted Sammy, my pitt/pointer mix. I can’t believe how far he’s come and what an amazing dog he is. Obviously I am very thankful that I got him, and for the people who fostered him and the rescue that took him in before I gave him his forever-home, as they say.
I want to give some props to the Fresno Bully Rescue and the great people who work there. Check out their website and help them out if you can :)
