This past weekend was so much fun! I took the crew down to Tattoolapalooza in San Diego. I started Friday off with a bang by tattooing a Bride of Frankenstein on Scott's roommate. I had fun with this one and took the liberty of adding some blood and spider webs in the hair. Halloween day was great because I got to tattoo one of my favorite airbrush artists Cory Saint Clair. Cory sat for several hours as I meticulously tattooed a japanese hannya mask on his hand. All of his pain was well worth it because I won 2nd place trophies for best hand and best small color tattoo.
Rat A Tatt Tatt Tattoo studio (Fullerton, Ca) were on the other.
And as for me, well I spent the night before trying to find a good picture of Animal Chin from the Bones Brigade skate board movies to do on a walk in customer Brent's inner arm. This was an extremely challenging piece for me to do because my reference picture was so small. Either way, I was excited because I got to use the new rotary steampunk style tattoo machine I purchased from master rotary machine builder and artist, Ugly Bill. I think the piece came out so great I had to give that machine another whirl and do a Popeye Jack O' Lantern commemorative tattoo on myself. Yes... It really hurt!
All in all we had an amazing weekend! Me and Michelle even stayed a few extra days and went to Sea World to top it all off. I want to personally thank the promoters Frank LaNatra and Mickey and all who helped make this an enjoyable time. See you guys in Florida!
Make sure you check out all of these artists work and look for us on the road this coming new year! Remember... Make sure to check back often to see when my new site will be up. It will be totally dedicated to Tattooing and all things related.

Ugly Bill is my artist, and i have to say his new rotary machines are awesome. i heal in what seems like half the time and besides the discomfort of getting the damn tattoo, the experience overall has gotten much better. I hope you really like it, i'm sure your clients will! I know this sounds a bit "late night infomercial" but, honestly, much better experiences with getting work done.
