“Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you it’s only seed”
-Conway Twitty
You know your mom has to be cool as all hell if you want to get a matching tattoo with her… Hell, she’s cool as hell to want to get a matching tattoo with you!!! To be completely honest both of these ladies are cool as all hell — two of my favorite clients in AZ.
Blue Roses?!
Classic / Cool / Unique

WHO’S BEEN PAINTING MY ROSES RED? /
Who dares to taint /
With vulgar paint /
The royal flower bed? /
For painting my roses red /
Someone will lose his head.”
it’s said that we all have diamonds within us – that latent talent, skill, and ability for something is harbored by us all.
it’s just waiting to be mined/shined/cut.
wanna see how these diamonds were forged? peep it out.
did a rosy piece in-between my client’s two existing tattoos:
boLD.
beautiFUL.
TraditionAL.
did this cool piece on great client of mine – sits well, always has a great attitude, + good conversation. it’s taken a few months but we finally put the finishing touches on it.
time to plan the next one!!
maybe it’s because school’s out or because summer’s full on and the kids are home everyday… i’m not sure what’s causing it, but i’ve been getting more and more parents who want to get their kids’ names tattooed. 
met this great client thru an old client of mine. he already has his first daughter’s name tattooed and didn’t want his younger daughter to feel left out, so we did her name up RiGHT.
this piece came to me for a some additions to it. she wanted to add some tooth fairies to it, and not the tooth fairies that bring children money, the type from Hell Boy. 
the piece isn’t too bad, but of course, i can’t simply add to a piece without sLAPPiN’ SOME GOLD ON iT. 
added those cute fairies, went in and fixed up the skulls’ face, made the nose + eye sockets more even. also gave more definition to the bow + roses.

You’ve got nothing to do but relax.
Blow a kiss. Take a bow.
Honey, everything’s coming up roses!“

“i’m at the tattoo shop, can you meet me here ?”
lol, did this piece on a longtime client of mine’s Father as a surprise birthday present for him:
haha, he was definitely surprised – but ready.
the piece is for his Grand Daughter – who @ 4yrs old told me she’s already planning to get a cat tattoo. !
