Skulls ripping through ribs tattoo. Updated

 As many of you know I like doing skulls tattoos or at the very least I do a lot of them. After more than thirty years of getting tattooed my client is getting to his sides and filling the rib cage with creepy skulls ripping from the body. Doing other side in a couple of weeks. I will keep you posted.

Same day update: Part two of the skulls ripping through the ribs was just finished. A rainy day with no set appointments , I ended up starting a sleeve of skulls and flame and did the right side skulls ripping through the ribs. Check it out.

Skull with the stars in the eyes.

 The next tattoo was a free hand design keeping it simple with just skulls and
smoke.

Adding another skull to what will eventually be a complete sleeve tattoo. Skulls and smoke make for a good tattoos. Working with a good tattoo artist is the best way to get a well designed tattoo. There are many resources to help you focus your ideas. Remember a picture is worth a thousand words, so bring pictures with you when going to discus your tattoo design. There is a good source of tattoo ideas from Miami Ink

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.

Tattoos and Spirituality

This Tibetan Style skull and lotus flower expresses an old world spirituality, done in black and grey it will have a nice soft look under his arm. When working on an entire sleeve tattoo, I like to work in stages with each stage somewhat finished. This way the collector is not walking around with unfinished work.We all have enough unfinished thing to deal with.
This tribal cross was brought to me to do. The original drawing was a pen ink sketch and I was excited to do it,as you can see it came out cool. This is his first tattoo, a very good choice, don't you think?
