I picked up this cool camera from Modern Love in town. I didn’t even know if it would work or not. It takes the most amazing landscape photos. Its so easy to use. No focusing, just line up your scene and push the lever down and its made in New Jersey!
I will take this with me everywhere and share these images with you.
Its been a very busy and productive summer so far. I’ve started 2 killer dragon back piece’s and tattooed some other very cool stuff. Im super stoked on a back piece on my buddy Nick. It started as a cover up and eventually ended up covering his whole back. I love Japanese dragons they are fun to tattoo and look sick! The other is on Rich . I’ve done both Rich’s sleeves and I am so honored to do his Dragon Back piece. Rich might be my fist body suit. Im am booked for a few months now. And still taking requests for work in the future so if you have something in mind give me an email.
On Friday it started out great. I tattooed Samantha Goodman’s ribs on her way to the Sturgis roadshow. Then on to my ole buddy Jared Urban who I’ve been tattooing for 15 years now. It was good to see the same face’s as last year and some new ones as well. I always have a good time at the Skinvitational. On Saturday I didn’t make any appointments and just took walk bys. I did well and had fun drawing tattoos up on the spot. I Started out by tattooing a really cool biker character riding into the sunset on T. Wood. One of my favorites was the blackbird I did on Ann Marie Lance. I was so busy that afternoon I didn’t see the monsoon that was going on outside. It still didn’t deter the Gasket Goons from bringing the Hot Rods up for the car show. Saturday night was a blast hanging with the crew from Immortal Ink, Back to Back, and the Gasket Goons.
Sunday I finished up the convention with a mermaid and a seahorse. I look forward to next years convention!
Just recently returned from a central American adventure with Josh — We spent 4 days visiting our friend Dave Spagna who has a tattoo shop called Speeds in Antigua, a small tourist town surrounded by volcanoes in central Guatemala. What an amazing trip! We got the incredible chance to immerse ourselves in the guatemalan culture. Josh and I both guested at Dave’s shop, while there we were lucky enough to hang the whole time with Luis Bedregal, Art Escobar, and Carlob Charly Wolfos, amazing tattoo artists who happen to know every bar in Antigua- cool shop!
It was funny to discover that when we told people we were from Jersey they immediately assumed we were a couple d-bags from “Jersey Shore” which just so happened to be on everyones television sets at the time…what is this jersey shore shit?
Had a great time-did some cool tattoos on rad people-Susana, Nick, Heidi, Silvis and tattooed a cool panther on Dave Spagnas hand. Josh and I are hoping to go back in November and continue adventures in Antigua- hope you enjoy pictures from my vintage Jem camera- cheers!
