Work Evolves

I've done a lot of traveling this summer. The best thing about traveling to work as a tattooist is that one gets to experience entirely different ways of approaching even the simplest aspects of what we do. My travels have given me a new perspective, and as such has changed a lot of things about the way I tattoo. I've been focusing a lot more on my lighting, and spending a lot more time in the drawing and set-up process. All in all, once I start tattooing, I'm producing more solid, cleaner work in slightly more time than I was taking before. I'm happy with where my work's going, and I'm incredibly excited about every new tattoo I get to do.





This is a piece I drew at the beginning of the summer, but tattooed recently on my coworker Shack to fill in a space between his arm. This tattoo wasn't intentionally drawn for that purpose, it was just a happy accident.



I did this tattoo this last Sunday. I'm really pleased with it in its simplicity. I'm on a kick of not overdoing things, and trying to approach every piece in an elegant fashion. This tattoo is a good example of what I mean by that.
