Spring is on its way!

That is what my Harley keeps on saying. I seriously cannot wait until the weather levels out. I need to get outside for awhile. I think cabin fever is about break down my entire being. Okay a little overboard, I know but still.



Now back to the tattoo thing. The first pick I have is off of Buddha's daughter's leg. It is the first asian style dragon that I have done to date. She has been buggin' the hell out of me to post this photo, so here it is. Thanks again Kayla, I love you.



















This piece is on the newest Dakota Rider prospect, and a very good friend of mine. There is a group of people who all have this bracelet, the problem with his bracelet is that he is allergic to the metal. So we tattooed it on permanently. I like to think it is sort of a medic alert bracelet but for bikers. It should say "CAUTION: BLOOD TYPE - HARLEY DAVIDSON NEGATIVE" on the back.














This is a photo of the smallest tattoo ever done at Prairie Wynde Studio in Valley City. I tried to talk her into a larger design, but she just wasn't going to do it. The tattoo is of a butterfly. It took 60 seconds to complete the design which consisted of an outline, shadow, color, and white highlite. The actual time spent with needle in the skin = 20 seconds. But she was fun and really appreciated what she got. What can I say, not everyone is planning a sleeve.














This next piece is my new personal favorite. While working on Korky Grease we realized that his past couple of weeks of self-abusive behavior (getting shmammered in Vegas) tattooing his
pinup on his ribs was not going to be the very productive. So we decided to quite. But Jesus Grise was not going to be deterred from his goal of getting a tattoo fix. So he asked "Can we try a different body part, I am just really feening for a tattoo?" Well we will try. "Is there anything that you have been really wanting to tattoo lately?" he asked. Why yes there was. So I broke out my Big Book of Shit I Like and we stumbled upon this photo that I found online a while back. "Fuck Yeah" says Kracky McGross and on we go with the tattoo. The next time someone asks what I think is cool, I am going to pull out this picture and say Strange Shit.
