The Tiny Tattooer

Another on from last year!

An older tattoo from around this time last year! Just to keep this blog up to date.

Wish I had gotten a better angle of the nurse, which is my favorite of these two lady busts. For a snowbird, to commemorate her two late grandmothers!

Wish I could’ve gotten a better picture of this Peony on one of my best friends! Maybe I’ll get a healed picture of it soon.

Another fun one! Chosen out of my linebook by another loyal client.

Another reaper! I love doing these. This one was so much fun <3

I haven’t kept up with this blog in the last couple months I believe, shame on me! Here are some photos of my first tattoo of 2018. Done on one of my most loyal clients, this piece was so fun to design and tattoo. I can’t express how much I love being given elements for a concept and being told “do whatever you’d like with the idea”. As any artist does, I’m sure! What’s really cool about this piece is that I was able to use our shop owner’s Dan Kubin machine for the linework. For any of you who aren’t familiar, thee machines are basically just amazing, to put it bluntly. They are rare and expensive and work like butter. Single pass lines are everything to someone like me who primarily focuses on traditional and neo traditional tattooing and this machine delivers! I have to buy one for myself for sure. Anyway, prepare for tattoo spam! 

All ready to do slightly discounted bangers this Friday the 13th! 😂😛

Here’s an acrylic painting I finished on bristol board about a month ago. Greatly inspired by the fantastic works of Bone Face and Audra Auclaire. Also heavily inspired by the sound of Villains, Queens of the Stone Age’s latest record.

My own take on a Bert Grimm classic! I got to do this one over last weekend, visiting some friends in Orlando. I had a guest spot at Studio Thirteen for a day, such an incredible shop and crew! So inviting, kind, and helpful. Biggest studio I’ve ever been in. The lobby had a victorian vibe to it and the studio itself was massive with so much space and an insanely high ceiling. I hope to guest spot there again soon. Every time I leave Orlando, I want to just turn around and go back. This picture is a bit shiny for my liking due to the flash. Please excuse the plasma. 

Here’s one of my favorite little jammers! The first picture is fresh, the second is all healed up. Got to do this on a beloved friend of mine who travels from Orlando to get tattooed with her boyfriend whenever I’m lucky. I absolutely love tattooing both of them, they sit like champs and always give me creative freedom.

I guess I’ll kick-start my posting with my icon! I painted this sad reaper a few weeks ago at the shop. I don’t remember the brand of watercolor I used and it doesn’t matter because they kind of (really) suck, but I did use Faber Castell pen markers for lines. Love those things and they last for ages!  This is where I’ll be posting all of my tattoos and projects with more in-depth thoughts and information on each piece. Kinda like a tattoo diary! I hope you will enjoy <3
