Did a little mermaid on my good friend Marianna's ribcage! She has an anchor on the other side, each to represent her love of the sea (marine biology major!), one side grounding her, and the other side is whimsy.

Vidalia cont'd
Thursday, December 5, 2013
"Aunt Vidalia's Living Room" won the top prize at the undergraduate show! Paid for my visa for Australia:) So surprised and honored.
Einstein
Did this little number today! It's based off of the lyrics of a Bob Dylan song called "Desolation Row." Love doing etching tattoos so much.

Vidalia
Monday, December 2, 2013
Little pieces I have in a show on Wednesday of this week! It's called "Aunt Vidalia's Living Room." The piece, not the show. The show is just the student show that school has every year, it's juried and shit. I also have a secret sculpture in it called "Sexual Deviance" heh heh. So looking forward to it.
I'll post bigger pictures of the images later! The half-naked flying guy at the top of my blog is one of them. The biggest image of all of them is probably about 8 or 9", the smallest is around 1"!

Baba Yaga
Saturday, November 30, 2013
Baba Yaga's house! My absolute favorite to date. Done on the same lady with the California Condor.
Hustin's Pisces
Still in progress, a Pisces chest piece cover-up of the words "Love is my weapon." Only about half-way done!
Falcon and Rat
Additions to Colin! (He has the jackalope chest piece). He asked me to do whatever I wanted, and this Falcon is what I came up with!
Mermaid
Horrible photo. A still unfinished piece on Mari, she is definitely a woman of the water! Can't wait to finish this piece.
California Condor
Another favorite of mine. This is a cover-up of a little swan and the word "love." The bird is a California Condor, the owner's spirit animal. He came to her in a dream. She was him. Maia is an amazing lady.
Poppies and PMA
Still unfinished piece. But a great story behind the banner and words-
The "PMA" (Positive Mental Attitude. Something very fitting to its owner!) is something I drew on my friend Ariel's arm for our friend Griffin to tattoo on her in her living room a few years ago. Then as my very very very first tattoo, even before that antler I posted earlier, I did that little banner and touched up the wobbly "PMA." Then, to our shock and grief, Griffin passed away this summer. Ariel had been talking about getting poppy tattoos before, but now they had a different meaning. Poppies are the flower of death, and now remembrance. I can't wait to finish this lovely transformative and important tattoo.
Indian Corn
One of my favorites. A tribute to her father, Indiana, her love for corn and all things fall, and the movie "Children of the Corn."
Jackalope
This was my first chest piece, ever! Still fairly early in my career. Tribute to South Dakota. He gave me a taxidermy jackalope head wall-mount as a tip for this tattoo! So badass.
Wolf & Horses
Adrienne is a great friend of mine who recently moved to California. We started and finished this whole piece in an absurdly short amount of time to get it done before she left. Really meaningful and fun piece to do.
