And now here’s my attempt at tattoo photography, very critical neck piece on Cale from Atlantic City. Thanks for again comin’ through from South jersey! BANG BANG!
This week I had the opportunity to tattoo a rising star in the tattoo game – Andrick Aviles. This young individual is always taking it to new heights with his fineline black & grey art, very privileged to add to his collection.

My strength, my son, the star, will be my resurrection

Yesterday’s session on Ivan, for his dedication piece for both his grandmothers. The Mamma’s always having unconditional love and care for all of us.

Here in Southern California, you have to take advantage of those warm summer nights. We’re heading to autumn and things are beginning to transition over. This week’s client is a fellow artist and most importantly long time friend, Dustin Yip from Skanvas Tattoo in Artesia.
We began a lower back piece with a portrait of his wife, Jen, another amazing artist. This time with a traditional gangster twist, which made it that much more fun. Thanks for always supporting me throughout my journey. I’ll never forget it.
There is a light that never goes out…
