UFC Light Heavyweight Brandon "The Truth" Vera.  Got to meet him at the San Diego Tattoo Convention

Fu- Dog

Close up view of my Dringenberg that was photographed by my friend Wendi

A crying horse on my buddy Alex.  He was so drunk once when I tattooed him, and he told me his leg horse.  He was trying to say his leg hurts but kept saying it horse, so I designed a fun tattoo with an even funnier story

Portrait

Recently I did this portrait for my friend Becca. This is a photo from 1942 of her grandmother. Doing portraits of loved ones is always such an honor.

Sepia Rose

This rose was done for my friend Summer inside the bicep. Summer's idea was brilliant for the tattoo. She wanted a sepia tone to give it a soft feel. This tattoo , as with all her tattoos are a tribute to her sister who passed away a few years back, but this was our favorite to date. Very meaningful and lots of fun. Thanks Summer!

Tattooing Wendi

How fitting that my first post features Wendi and her sweet camera skills. Wendi is the one who turned me one to this site so I'm stoked she gets to be my first post. We did some filler work on a Japanese themed sleeve and I'll be sure to post a few pics when complete. Check out Wendi's blog.
