Tree of life, from Earth to Heaven

I normally don’t do this, but I am too excited not to share. I drew this freehand with sharpee on Michelle’s back. I had to move the bottom of the tree trunk to better fit her back and with a little hand sanitizer I was able to take off the original sketch and redraw it. Four and a half hours later, and this the rough outline for what’s to come.

I started this today on a lovely young lady named Brittney. It will be full color and with any luck with have a portrait of Elvis above it.

Erik, Before and After

March 2nd, 2009 | Tagged: In Progress

I just finished the outline of Erik’s new traditional eagle chest piece tattoo.  Also today, I started reworking Jenny’s side piece. It’s fairly common these days that I am finishing or reworking tattoos on my friends when the original artists can’t be found. Is there something about tattoo artists and disappearing? It has been a long day, to end a long week. I have a life filled with many blessings.
