Banger Sea Turtle

Pretty busy day, and this little guy is my favorite of the day.

Crazy days man, crazy days; and this was pretty fun.  A rework of an older idea.

It is always cool adding more tattoo onto past works.

Sigil in a Sigil

The client brought me the logo from his tribe.  He is Native American and has deep roots in his tribe. He wanted a simple combination of his tribal sigil with a Polynesian sigil.  The original tribal work showcases a phoenix being born from a lightning strike.  I really like the message there.  I drew a “Ha” sigil inside the flames of the phoenix.

Hibiscus Flower

I like Hibiscus flower tattoos.

Palm Tree

This was fun.

Polynesian Giraffe

The client brought me several ideas of a giraffe, but she wanted it done in tribal.
So cool, we went for it.  Cool idea, cool tattoo.

Polynesian Sigil

I dig it, sigil in a triangle.

This was a fun one and my favorite of the day.  Straight from my flash.

Turtle Beach

I like a bit of American Traditional in my Hawai’i beach Scene tattoo.
Bold, bright, long lasting and solid as hell.

Plumeria Flower

This was cool.

Mahalo.

Add-on Hibiscus Flower

And she’s back for more.  This Hibiscus flower is the latest addition to her arm.
Looking forward to the next one.

Hibiscus and Plumeria

These two were fun to work with, I hope to see them both again.  I enjoy working with flowers.

Polynesian Tribal

This was pretty fun.  He had a bunch of ideas and taped em all together.

Koi Tattoo Flash

I have tattooed all but one of these paintings.  I would love to tattoo the last one.  I deeply enjoy tattooing Koi Fish.  Japanese tattoo has very specific rules, bending them is not really in line with true Japanese’s tattoo.

This is the painting I have not tattooed it yet.  I would love the opportunity to tattoo this Koi.

Studio Visits in Minneapolis

What a great day!

Pictures from a collector

A friend of mine is moving, and he sent me these pics of my paintings before he left his house for his new one.  These works are pretty old, and there were really crazy to work on.  Man, back then I was painting every second I could find.  As I am today.

What cool memories, what a chaotic and amazing time...

...still is amazing.

Here are my works that he owns.

Thanks for taking good care of my work.
