*Swipe to see all! * There was no greater Christmas gift than to get these 2 Beautiful matching Coil Tattoo Machines made by the man @tonyurbanek from @cmskiversr Legend -> Apprentice 😊 It will forever be my favorite birthday to remember. Forever making me #LoyalToTheCoil 💙 I even had the great honor of learning about these machines in @tonyurbanek machine building seminar and got to build tune my 1st machine myself!!! Cant expect quality tattoos without quality and finely tuned machines to get the job done! 💉 😉 #ArtfulAlex #TattooLegacy #tattooApprentice #loyalty #TraditionalTattooApprentice #CoilsOnly #qualitytattoos #qualityMachines #topnotch #professionalQuality #ProfessionalOnly #ProfessionalMachines #tattooer #LearningRight #TravelingArtists #travelingApprentice #tattoolegend #Tattoolessons

He won 6 trophies and was kind enough to give me one and sign it too!! 💙 This is my first ever 1st place trophy which will be added to my quickly growing Tattoo Collection! 💉 So thankful! . #ArtfulAlex #art_collective #tattooconvention @united_ink #uprisingartist #uprisingtattooer #ConstantlyLearning #1stplace #SkateDeck #collection #tattooer #travelingApprentice #travelingTattooers #TravelingArtists

An amazing great start to the #PittsburghBleedBlacknGoldTattooExpo Huge thank you to Mike Skiver @cmskiversr who is my tattoo teacher which always makes it possible for me to come out to any shows! As many of you know, last March Mike & Marys Tattoo Museum building caught fire. The museum never burned, yet the town came in and demolished the building anyways. Showing that nothing in the museum burned, here is a Sarah Miller print that made it out. Just a little dirt on the covering, Mike had given this print to me on the site while we were digging. I brought it here to the #PittsburghTattooConvention to grab a picture with Mike and Sarah. 📷 Its truly amazing to see how much #TattooHistory is important in the industry. This is another piece to my collection! 💉 #ArtfulAlex #artistofinstagram #artistinthemaking #uprisingartist #uprisingtattooer #tattooApprentice #tattooconvention #TravelingArtist #travelingApprentice #HistoryInTheMaking #LearningRight #LivingTheLegacy
