Here are a few pieces I have been working on. I included a picture of the octopus cover up from the previous post.

After the show “Best Ink” was aired, we saw a rise in cover-up inquiries, mostly because our very own

I have been busy lately, here are some of my recent tattoos

I recently tattooed my brother in law, and while he was here he made a little video of the shop.
