Session with Joe Moses

Last monday i received a call from my boi Larry he told me was bringing in Joe Moses to get to get sum ink. Now i didnt really think he was going to come thru, normally these celebs dont follow thru due to busy schedules etc. However I told Larry koo bring em in of course id take care of him. Moses on the other hand was serious about his ink and wanted to get a few small peices. Check out sum of the photos from the late night session and media of his work after the jump! Peace!

Ant Thaxton Slight Work!! Part 1

Biznass as usual at the shop lately and my clients have really been challenging me with these custom pieces. Its always a good thing when your clients have trust in you and give you the fredom to do you. Heres a few pieces I cooked up these last two weeks or so.

Session With The Homie R2

Wuddup everyone out there! So the other day my homeboi and fellow tattooer R2 came by the studio to drop off a photo of his custom workhouse irons machine he wanted tattoo'd on his hand. As soon as i seen it i knew it would make a sick piece given the detail engravings in the frame. So as soon as i had a opening in the chair i hit em to come thru to lay dwn the ink. Check out the pics!

Egyptian x African Half Sleeve

Heres a half sleeve I completed earlier this year of a Egyptian mixed with African theme. The crazy part about this piece is it was done in one day, all free hand and about 9 hrs of inking. The best part about it is that it was done on a super tuff client that didn't flinch once the whole time. He really sat like a champ. Check it out!
