Comic Art Tattoo

Client brought in a picture of a comic character he liked, we thought she was pretty cool as well.

For Nana...

Today's piece was for a client to memorialize his Nana, who
passed away not so long ago. He liked the idea of the sugar skull and what it represents.

Harley Quinn Tattoo...

It's not that often I get to tattoo an animation piece,

and on top of that a Bruce Timm design!!If you're not familiar with his work..Google him and take a look at what you've been missing.

Van Gogh Depression...

Vincent Van Gogh's deepest piece was this clients latest request. For some when receiving a tattoo there is no meaning behind the piece, and for others there is much more of an expression of feelings. It is when I do pieces like these that I am reminded of how therapeutic tattoos are for so many people. Each one has it's own story, it's own deep meaning, that words could not describe. Feelings that only ink could express.

Abel Rocha Tattoos...

For those of you that have been living under a rock for the last fifteen years
and don't know who Abel Rocha is..
Let us tell you that words cannot describe this guy's talent you gotta see it to believe it....
He is an award winning artist who's talents range from Tattooing to Air brushing, to amazing Digital art. Although Abel Rocha is great at whatever style of work he does, he clearly reigns supreme at custom "Black & Grey" style tattooing. He has an awe-inspiring ability to capture a persons likeness when he takes on a portrait like no one else. As for his custom tattoos, just take a look at some of his work above. He began by drawing directly on the skin with a pen and followed that up with his tattoo machine, resulting in a marvelous tattoo that has all the qualities of realistic nature. Abel Rocha's tattoos have life to them, they are never flat or boring he brings so much detail to them, that anyone looking long enough will be captured themselves only in pure amazement. It is our great pleasure to work with Abel Rocha we look forward to many more of his masterpieces and will post more of his work as it is available.

Till Death Do Us Part...

Here is a larger back piece we did for a client very much in love with his fiance. Two skulls (a male and female) along with a note that reads "Til Death Do us part".This piece is a symbol of his commitment to her...we wish you both nothing, but the best :)

Thornz..

Arm piece in progress...

Just call him King Rollins...

Today's client wanted to show his pride in his family name, by having it displayed across his back. The king represents the high level of respect he has for himself as well as others. We went with a neater style of font for him & used a different shading technique. He was very happy with the results and so were we :)

Inked To The Bone...

Today's client had an interesting idea for his piece.
He wanted to portray his bones visible beneath his skin surrounded by torn flesh.
He truly loved the idea of being inked to the bone.

Edward Scissorhands Tattoo

Crafty piece by Chris Lowk

Client requested an Edward Scissorhands portrait,

 to go opposite a Nightmare Before Christmas piece she previously had him do. Both came out pretty sweet, we will be posting the other tattoo pics up soon.

Tattoo of the day...

Today's tattoo was a very personal piece for a client. It's a portrait of her mother in law who recently passed away due to cancer. Our aim was to not only capture her beauty, but to also symbolize her passing with a Dia de los muertos feel.
