Late summer - 2013

Here are some photos of recent tattoos and a couple nice ones of the kids, some bonus too.


The Sam!


"Papa, maybe we should, I dunno, do some Tracings or something like that?" 7:30 am.


I was happy with this little pair, the Fox and the Crow from Aesop's fables.


That fox I was tellin you about.


Greg's arm is filling in.  I've been happy to tattoo this Star pattern a few times lately.



Some blackwork.  Trying some different stuff.


Oh yeah, lots of black.


Got a healed photo of this one.

And for some bonus, here is Curren Caples, flying.


Lance Mountain.

Thanks for checking out the blog.

Summer - 2013

Well, as always it's been a while since I posted.  Here are some new photos of what I've been up to.


Holdin' onto these quite a bit.

An older one - healed.

Some asparagus.   Stuff like this is my bread and butter.

Some beehives, These were real fun ones.

Do you ever think about... like... Hexagons?

Another real fun one.  Hand poked circle.

A nice big outline.  One of a couple larger tattoos I've started lately.

I got to polish up this one, one of my favorite tattoos ever. 

It felt cool to do this one, a big ole heart and a pair of lungs. 

Sometimes I feel like I'm getting away with a lot these days.  Line-blasted tree.  When I was really young, I had a wonderful artist friend take me to a windrow of willows and ask me to draw them.  That was the day I learned about "shorthand" drawing. 





I was happy with how this olive branch turned out.

Cover-up patch.

Just for fun patch.  With another cover up to the right.

A three quarter sleeve I've been working on.  I'm happy to have something large to show people.




Roses are good.



Some details of the four circles piece. 

And beautifull Avery!

Thanks for looking, Bram

A tiger!

As always, thanks for looking. Here are some new Tattoos.

I was happy with this one.

You might've seen this already. Cosmic whale.

It's always nice to do some tattoos by hand. Without the aid of electricity.

Ukranian Pattern.

Another one you might've seen already. New photo though.

Late March - 2013

I've been back from vacation for nearly a month now, it feels great to be back and working with a renewed sense of direction. The shop has a lot of momentum right now, with really great work coming out every day. I've taken on a couple larger scale pieces lately, you should be able to see some images of how that unfolds in the coming months. Thanks to all my clients for your open mindedness.

If you're thinking of having a piece done by me some time in the near future, heads up that I am booked tight for nearly a month right now and I expect that to carry on through the summer. Call or stop by the shop to book a consultation, and please let them know if you're interested in a larger piece so that we can book an appropriate amount of time.


Commercial film processing in the city is in a transitional period right now, all my film is being processed by hand in tanks rather than with a machine, so expect a bit longer lag-time, and more lively images. Hand printed stuff? Maybe some time soon.

All healed up.


More fun weird stuff.


The start of one of the large scale pieces I was mentioning earlier.

Simple tattoos are the hardest, I was proud of this circle stencil. India ink on paper, 2013.
Thanks for looking.

A pterodactyl skeleton, really cool.


A rose mandala in progress. More work like this please!
Thanks for looking, Bram.

Here are a few new tattoo photos. In a few months I should have a nice new blog up. Keep your eyes open.

Thanks for looking. Bram
