Slacking online, busy in reality…

Been meaning to update…I’ve been super busy on my truck this week. I installed a solenoid and switch in my truck on the driver side (will do passenger side soon), shaved the door handles on both sides, shaved the plastic cap on the tailgate (the bolt holes that where left over), and removed all side molding and badges. I also installed my new headlights that Salvador Olazaba hooked me up with. They are stock headlights that where opened and painted white inside instead of the black rim it once had. The now white corners still glow amber when on, awesomeness…

The truck is going to stay primered in those spots until I finish the tailgate, then my friend James Pecor is going to repaint them white. My grille is still off too because I’m still working like a slave to finish it. It’s taking only about 100 hours more than I thought it would, lol, but I love how it’s coming out. I’m going to get James to paint it too. This week I’m taking the nerf bars off, so if you want them hit me up, I’ll let them go cheap. Then I’m going to paint the mirrors to match, or shave them, still unsure.

Anyways, enough rambling about my truck, on to ink! I tattooed my friend Dustin’s calf with a skull-n-crossbones guitar. It’s the same guitar he owns, but he wanted it to have a skull on the body. His brother Jayce (creator of Woogylar) sent me a rough sketch of the idea and I took it from there. He was beyond stoked, and according to everyone that has seen it in person these pictures don’t do it justice. Next we’ll do a full background behind it of whatever the fuck I end up drawing on him, lol. I love tattooing!

Session two on Drews Lion

I hit Drew’s lion again Sunday for a few hours. We had already done the crown, which is not done yet, and the lettering so we finished the face. It’s a cover up using white ink on any areas that show, will take another session on the crown and white ink to complete it.

After that we’re going to do a background and the inside of the arm as well to complete a half sleeve. We’ll leave it open to turn it into a full sleeve in the future.

Just included the bloody photo because I thought it looked funny, like he had just eaten.

Colorful Feeties

I did this frog Friday night when Kennon was too busy to get to one of his regulars so she decided to let me do it. She liked it so much she came back the next day and got the flower on the other foot. Next she wants me to add some more above the frog so the pieces will be the same size and basic shape. Fun stuff, sort of has a digital vibe to it.

Dali Piece, Session 3

I tortured Blake some more this week and did session number three on the Dali inspired tattoo that I freehanded. He took it great as always. Did most of the center of the clock, nothing on the rim of it yet, and more in the background. Still not finished of course, and have at least two sessions to go.

First picture is healed, before we started session three.
