I’ve been in Santa Rosa for the last week hanging out with friends, tattooing, and meditating in the redwood forest. There are so many things to do here and such a focused “home” in the center. I’m going to be back to Santa Rosa very soon. Two more tomorrow night, and Tuesday I’ll be driving [...]
I had a few photos published in an Italian “Welcome Book” for Riva Del Garda, a beautiful town along Lake Garda in northern Italy. While I can’t understand what it says, I’ve managed to translate enough to know that Riva Del Garda has unique unchanging winds that are perfect for sailing. Looking at photos of [...]
I got a few business cards and updated WearTheMark.com. I can’t decide if I should separate the tattoos from the rest of my work, or keep it all on one site.
I am very happy with this new tattoo on Ben. We matched the font and placement of the “Trust” on his opposite arm. Carson showed me how to mark off a target using the muscle definition on his arm, so that the tattoos would be symmetrical.
On Tuesday I filled in the heart on Jack’s leg. The outline was healing nicely and I got about 3 hours of tattooing in before the skin was too irritated to keep going. Jack has a great attitude though and his friends made sure to keep him occupied the whole time. Only a few more [...]
For the past 8 years I have been working full time as a professional graphic designer and web developer building websites for companies like Userplane (an AOL company), H&R Block, and EMI Music, to name a few. What began as an interest in experimental interactive design expanded into an expert skillset in user-interface design and [...]
Jesse is the man, and this is his new Where the Wild Things Are tattoo. He came in 3 days we did the third session on the koi on the opposite side of his calf. I really like using the needle as if it were a pen, and the neuma makes it comfortable for me [...]
Lucky Jack has a beautiful new Claddagh tattoo outlined on the back of his left calf. Jack’s family is Irish and the Claddagh is a traditional Irish ring design. His mom and sister are getting their own claddagh’s very soon as well. I’ve seen a few claddagh tattoos that were very basic and decided to [...]
It’s me again, you may have noticed. A few days ago I begun posting regularly to my site (again). I kicked it off with Shawn Barber’s new tattoo inspired book of his amazing paintings, Forever and Ever, some solid 90’s tv show theme song videos, and found a beautiful flight jacket that I’ll be sure [...]
I don’t know about you, but I’d really like to pick up one of these WWII flight jacket re-issues.
