Sharon and Ira's anniversary celebration includes more tattoos for each of them, a new tradition, as this is the third year in a row! Happy anniversary and wishing you all many more.Dragon and wizardThe butterfly is an addition to work we have been doing over the years. An ivy vine and butterflies now completed with this piece right on the back of the ankle.
butterfly This dragon was added to complete Ira's sleeve tattoo. It all started many years ago with a cover up of a much older tattoo. The wizard and water fall was used to cover up a bird and as the years have gone by we have added the various Koi fish and now the dragon.

Dropkick Murphys Inspired Tattoo

The Irish keep on coming! From Celtic Cross Tattoos and Celtic dragons, and now the Dropkick Murphys. What inspires you? Find out and ink it in your skin.

The Celtic Cover Up

Celtic tattoo This was a first for me, using celtic tattoo designs to cover up an armband tattoo. Tattoo cover ups are always a challenge, not something to take liightly. Plan out your next tattoo and avoid the need for a tattoo removal or cover up.

Here come the Celtics

celtic cross This Celtic cross is the first tattoo for this collector, he is 69 years old and decided to get his first tattoo. A very fine choice for a first tattoo.This is the first of this design that will be inked on his adult kids.
celtic iron crossFinding the right tattoo can be a bit trying and sometimes very difficult. This cross was enlarged to fit better on the back of the arm. The result stands out!
Since I have been at Rose City Tattoos I have gotten to do a lot of cool Celtic crosses and other Celtic designs, always trying to out do the last one or improve on the design. Stop in and make an appointment before it is too late. So whether you are 18 or 80 it is your time to get tattooed.

Am I seeing stars?

The Art of the Cover up

So you got a tattoo and you don't like it? Well there is a second chance to make it right. This guitar was too comical for the owner and he wanted something creepy tattooed over it.
This is the finished cover up. The entire upper arm has been sleeved to work an effective cover up tattoo. I really like the way this one came out, it was a very big challenge to get something to cover up the old tattoo and still be something that the customer wanted and would look good.




This is inside the front of the arm.

Koi cover up

tattoo cover up Old tattoo before the cover up begins. Your tattoo is not really that permanent. I really like doing cover up tattoos. They are always a bit of a challenge and a bit of a mystery not always knowing where the finished tattoo will come from.

The finished Koi tattoo completely covering the old panther tattoo.The Japanese Koi tattoo is a great tattoo all on its own, when done as a cover up it is not only effective but also impressive when you see the finished tattoo.
