Great big coverup in there. No trip to LA would not be complete without a California Poppy tattoo #yesistilldocolor #mrincognito #incognitotattoo

Wolf and a cabin on the hill. This was done several years ago on a great client whom I cannot remember their IG name. This was a full sleeve of fairy tale themed sleeve #mrincognito #incognitotattoo

This is #0 from the first run of machines I built with the kind help of @thevandirk in 2002. Dirk was kind enough to invite us to his home in Evansville, Indiana for a two day intensive crash course in CNC and hand milling, lathe and welding. I had been messing around with brazing for awhile, doing most car stuff and some tattoo machines but TIG welding was a completely different beast. It was the dead of summer in the Midwest and probably around 90-95 in Dirk's machine shop the whole weekend, he had this tiny little AC unit that was working it's hardest. But with a few sweaty dudes and a bunch of machines working overtime it was a hot box. There's a lot of really great stories from that trip. Thanks again Dirk. And thanks to Michael from. For trading me this awesome piece of my history back. The machine needed new coils and a top end rebuild but I kept all the OG screws and washer that I could salvage. This is is going back in the rotation. Thanks for reading my ramble. Happy Sunday #mrincognito #tattoomachine #handmade. #incognitotattoo #tattoohistory #tsttoohistorybytattooers

This tattoo is based on a series of drawings I started several years ago as an exploration into an alternative more scifi based "pinup" the drawings are not all cutesy or even sexy but I do think that the women depicted have a certain amount of mystery and power. #womenwithtattoos #mrincognito #incognitotattoo

Peonies all day long #mrincognito #incognitotattoo #peonytattoo

More months and bugs please, I love to tattoo anything from the natural world. The act has a very primal feel, we have always marked ourselves with the totems that surround us. Quite frankly this will never go out of style. #mrincognito #incognitotattoo #austintattoo

I have a few appointment times still available for my upcoming trip DM or email and we can make some magic. #incognitotattoo #mrincognito #wheretheytatt

One of the very last Wezz machine, I have one more frame that is up for grabs. After that I have none left and will not be building off this frame ever again. I've had this machine in production off an on for over 10 years. When @sobaone and @sethciferri started @workhorseirons my build partner at the time @dhalbritter and I jumped at the chance to be part of the project. Thanks to all who helped with lending a bit of knowledge, or supported my efforts by purchasing and using my equipment. You have fed my family for many years and I thank you. Also a super special thanks to Dirk VanVorst with out his amazing insights and demystifying a simple tool I would still be hanging my head against the wall. #mrincognito #incognitotattoo
