i love this time of year!
here’s a recent tattoo:
I’ll be doing flash day/walk in day on Sept 30. you can use the main page to sign up! all these and of course, the usual cancer ribbons, are 150+tax.
the watermelon season is over, and Lulu isn’t happy about it.
I’ve rearranged and freshened up a little.
there’s now a garden page, I will be fleshing out a little better.
I finally put in a portfolio gallery, it still needs a little work.
And the main page has new image and links!
fresh tattoos under the fold.
air quality is so bad right now.
I’ve been tattooing as usual, though:
all of my gear has been packed up for months waiting to be moved into the studio building.
the last few days I’ve started to set up.
22×30″ sheet of flash.
it’s pretty simple.
flash is a drawing or design that a tattoo artist will do on anyone, repeatedly, it’s not a unique or singular image.
they’ve drawn or purchased the rights to tattoo it as much and as often as they want, and it’s often really cool.
“want to do this” means the artist has drawn a custom design and wants to do it, once, on one person.
the word “flash” is the difference: flash means images you can “flash” to show customers what you can do.
in the old days it was up on the walls, or in racks, in every shop and you would walk in and pick something.
it was all pre drawn, repeatable, ready to go.

I’ve been broke this month because I was sick in March. I’m thinking about doing a trunk sale, just maybe ten pieces. I’ll probably go on back to social media to see if there’s any interest.
I’ve been working:
and I’ve been busy in the garden as always.
early garden salad
a pleasant disaster
adding to an older tattoo.
One of my favorite clients and favorite projects, a sleeve full of mucky color washes, woodcut lines, snails, ferns, moths and blackberries with mushrooms. there’s a few smoky quartz crystals in there too.
