See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil

When creepy meets beauty, we end up with skulls and flowers tattooed together with the See no evil, Speak no evil, Hear no evil skeletons. The fascination with skulls as tattoo theme has no end and no beginning. Skulls are as popular as ever as tattoos.

Working with dark reds and some deep shading the dark heart makes for an effective cover up.

Tribal Polynesian Style Tattoo



The Polynesian tattoo style has been gaining in popularity here in New Jersey. Lately I have been tattooing a lot of these free flowing tattoo designs. They are drawn for the body part and are meant to enhance the shape.

Purple Passion Flower Tattoo

What a great way to show off your favorite color as a big purple flower tattoo on your shoulder.
This free hand flower tattoo was drawn to fit the shoulder. When choosing a tattoo remember that anything that you decide on should fit the body part that you are tattooing. Tattoo look better when they are properly placed and sized to fit.
