Tibetan Ornament

A culmination of several Tibetan Buddhism motifs.

Indelible Manicure


The client lost his finger tips in an industrial accident. He thought it'd be fun to tattoo fingers on the stubs of where his natural once used to be. This was a lot of fun!

Borneo style Cover-up for Scott

  Scott wanted a cover-up, of what I thought was an interesting tattoo to begin with, with tribal. I suggested the markings of the indigenous Dayak, Iban people of Borneo.



This piece was a lot of fun and I got the chance to explore Malaysian tattooing. This particular shape is called a 'Hook' representative of a fishing hook. An important and noble tool in native culture. Hopefully I can take some healed photos in the future, and I'll repost the finished product here shortly.

The Ohio Tattoo Museum



Recently I took a trip down to the Ohio Tattoo Museum in Coalton, Ohio. I made this video for fun using my mobile phone and some creative editing.
