poked eagle for travis made at home at east river tattoo. this was a 4.5 hour sitting for both the outline and the black work as well. my goal all along throughout my time tattooing has been to do larger scale work, and without the trust and patience from clients like this- it wouldn't happen. thank you thank you!

I am the happiest I think I've ever been, and I'm so proud to say I'll be a resident tattooer at East River Tattoo starting in April in Brooklyn. I bent over backwards and managed to gain approval for a 3 year US work visa with the help of my friends who went out of their way to support me sooo much. Im so thankful. I'm not taking appointments just yet, but within the next week my books will be open. Come n git it!
