This is literally on someone who's son is named Luke...he got it for that very reason. Plus he's a fan of Star Wars, but who really isn't :) May the Force be with You!

I had the honor of tattooing Jill while she was alive and battling cancer. She was a fighter and a survivor and won the love of those that knew her. She will be greatly missed. Recently, I had the honor of tattooing her portrait on her son a year after she passed. She will be greatly remembered.

Here is a Lynx in a pine tree, it's natural habitat. This is his first tattoo, one sitting, sat like a rock. That is how it's done!

This tattoo belongs to a real-deal falconer. Not only is he licensed to fly and hunt with these birds, he manages to catch them from the wild and train them. After a few years he releases them back to the wild. The Peregrine Falcon is one of his favorites, though he falcons with a number of other types of birds as well. He only keeps one bird at a time to give it the proper attention

The vessel that carried Max "in and out of weeks and almost over a year to where the wild things are." This is another addition to this story themed tattoo, fully inspired by the book 'WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE' by Maurice Sendak, and there's more to come.

This design comes from the artwork of Jose Pulido. Here's a fun little ditty...the gentleman to whom this tattoo belongs, has given me some very unique and wonderful tokens of gratitude for various designs I have done for him. One such relic is a VHS player, this has been a very exciting addition to the entertainment catalog, re-hashing all sorts of goodies. Well, for this tattoo, one of the

This is a healed photo. The character with Max (as well as Max) was done in one sitting and two weeks later I tattooed the next character. This photo was taken two weeks after the second character was put on. There will be more pictures to come as we continue the scene, which will be a compilation of various illustrations from the original book 'WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE' by Maurice Sendak

With Summer coming on full tilt, I thought it might be good for you to know or remember a few things when it comes to getting anew or preserving your tattoo, here's some pointers: Fresh Tattoo Work:    * KEEP IT CLEAN ~ always the best thing for any new tattoo is to keep it clean. Soap and water are just fine, all soap is anti-bacterial and effective against the risk of infection.
