 this rose was done on jeremiah who works at pinstruck tattoo a few hrs away....good fellow. done to match another rose on the other side of his neck ditch that we did this past summer...

didnt realize my camera was on this function when i took this pic, but thought it was kinda cool...

The Latest.....

sorry this blog hasn't been updated in awhile. things have been busy at the shop. not to mention sean and i just got back from the philadelphia convention. the convention was a pretty decent time. it was good to make new friends and see old ones. i was supposed to split a booth with chinatown eddies, but that got all mucked up. thank

goodness sean and the people he was splitting a booth with had room. or i would've been outted. so it ended up well, for sure. i ended up splitting a booth next to my best bud, and was next to two super cool guys: Brandon Montero and Joe Bruce. BIG UPS to helpin a nigga out. fo sho.

heres one fun jammer i got to do at the convention:

the blood drips like a little sideways because of the position dude was in...awkward. i also did this little baby owl on my good client Lori before we left:

and then i started this victorian lady with a fox shaw a few days after we got back:

it's a tattoo based off an art piece i submitted to Little Chicos 8x10 art show, which benefited abused and neglected pit bulls. though the tattoo is taken the original art work is still for sell ($200 framed). when she's all said and done. i'm thinking it'll be a pretty limited palette. black and grey possibly, with points of color. should be rad, even if i say so myself. all super fun tattoos....lucky me. well....we'll try to keep this thing updates more on the regular. hopefully. thanks for tuning in. over and out. -Javi.
