Here’s a fun tattoo done by Terry Ribera at Remington tattoo in San Diego. We had the best time tattooing this theme on Lana. She’s a long time client and collector of tattoos. Being so close to Mexico, San Diego is known for the common day of the dead theme. Terry Ribera had a great opportunity to tattoo this design which was originally drawn for another project. Some time had gone by when Lana decided to take interest in the design and we made it into a tattoo for her.

Karen flew out from Chicago to get tattooed today. We spent about three hours lining and shading this portion of her custom tattoo. We will be adding color over two sessions in July to finish this tattoo up. The tattoo is based on Lakshmi, a hindu Godess. Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity (both material and spiritual), light, wisdom, fortune, fertility, generosity and courage.

This tattoo was a huge undertaking, we covered up a pretty botched tattoo of a women and a lotus that spanned the entire side of Tod’s ribs Luckily Tod wanted a subject that is ideal for cover ups, a skull and some biomechanical tattooing. Certainly I love drawing this type of stuff, but a cover up is a cover up. We still plan to do a final pass on this tattoo to tighten some details and help ensure that the cover up will hold up well.

We finally finished this cool bio-organic flower, fractal tattoo on Mike. He was a pleasure to work with and maybe some day I will get a chance to do some more work on him 😉 This is Mikes first and only tattoo, you might know him from the VH1 reality show Rock n’ Roll Fantasy Camp. We wrapped up our final Session this May at Memoir Tattoo in Los Angeles. I am now back home in San Diego and I am excited about my new future projects.
Thanks Mike!

Another cool site designed to help the uninformed to be informed. There are a lot of tattoo forums on the internet, some good, some bad. This one has unique bridge between the Artist and the Collectors. There are a lot of informed and experienced people on there and now good forum goes without drama, so be aware. It’s best if you are new to tattooing to read through some post first. The crowd can be tough. Either way it’s a great place to find a new artist, check out cool tattoos and just kill 30 minutes. www.everytattoo.com

For those of you who are seeking to find great tattoos, or just wanting to share your tattoos there’s an interesting blog called www.inkcover.com there are many sites dedicated to showcasing tattoos, but so many of them do not label or give credit to the artist. They exist merely as a place for people to steel tattoo images off the internet and take them to their local tattooer. This site seems like it does the opposite, it’s clearly designed to promote tattooing and custom tattooing in a way that gives credit to the artist. Anyhow I feel like they where doing a pretty good job of it and I invite many of you to check it out.

After finishing up with Jeff’s Little Red Ridding hood tattoo for the day it was a quick lunch and time to start cracking the whip again. I got a chance to do another one of my favorite tattoo subjects on Kathy. She’s a local San Diego collector. We took about 2 hours to line out this Koi Fish tattoo and we got other fun elements like water, cherry blossoms and a couple lotus in there as well. The Kanji was already there, but we felt it was a natural fit considering the theme. I can tattoo anything that has Japanese water waves in it all day, I just love the background for virtually any kind of tattoo.

Hello again San Diego tattoo Peoples! Here’s a fun way to spend Easter, getting tattooed for the second day in a row. I did this custom tattoo of the old classic Little Red Ridding Hood on Jeff. Jeff drove down from LA to get tattooed the Last couple of days and this is the progress so far. We should have one more session to complete this tattoo. It’s been a lot of fun. I’d like to give Jeff Many thanks for not only making the drive but sitting like a trooper.

I did this biomechanical tattoo sleeve a couple years back. I was strolling through images on the internet and look what I came across. This really fun tattoo on Nick Hardwick. He plays as the center for the San Diego Chargers. Now I have to admit I don’t watch football, but I did have a lot of fun doing this tattoo and Nick was a really nice guy. This is actually one of the cooler photos I have seen of the tattoo and I thought it would be worth posting up in my blog.
