So yesterday I got the pleasure of tattooing one of my best friends of almost 20 years. Extremley fun piece for me to do.

Help Fight Breast Cancer

Help fight Breast Cancer. One of my very good friends Evan Oszajca did a amazing painting, he is selling prints for 10 bucks a piece. All proceeds go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Do a good thing and buy one of these Awsome prints. Put it in a frame, hang it on the wall., and be cool! At the bottom is a link to the website to purchase one. And if you are looking for a new tattoo in the San Diego Area check out his work, he is a badass! Check him out at About Face Tattoo in Oceanside, CA.

Just a Little Prick Tattoo

I have recently gotten the opportunity to move back to Decatur, Ill and work at a tattoo shop that I have always wanted too, and work with some great tattooers who I really look up too. It is a privilege and honor to be apart of this shop,  If you are ever in the area come by and check out the shop and the great crew. Here are a few pics of the stuff that I have done since my time at  IJALPT.

A few Paintings of Mine...

Here are a few of my paintings. I usually paint with watercolors or Liquid Acrylics. Every once in awhile I get a wild hair and do some oil painting, but I aint very good at it, haha.

First Post...A little History

I am starting this blog for people to view all the tattoos, paintings, and other shenanigans that goes on in my life...I was raised in the cornfields of the midwest, but i grew up in the Marine Corps...I recently moved back to Illinois from Sunny San Diego, CA. I told myself I would never leave Cali but everyone comes full circle eventually. I made some of the best friends in my life there. I spent the first 4 years of my tattooing career at a shop called Edgewater Tattoo. Worked with some very Influential people  in my career. I will post a few pics of My San Diego years...
