Sometimes I can't help feeling numb...all the time

So, had a pretty damn good week. My best friend is now now my co-worker once again, so it's fucking awesome to be tattooing next to him again. We've been doing a lot of painting...Here are 3 that I did this week:

Had this one lined out for awhile, just could never seem to get into painting it..

Then, yesterday, by some miraculous fate...the guy that does all the engraving for Paco Rollins came into our shop yesterday and set up his equipment...did some sick scratching on our machines...here is how mine came out:

Soooooo sick...

...and this is him hard at work.

If you wish to contact the engraver, his name is Nick Cunningham...you can find him on facebook. He is out of Stephenville, Tx...

More...

Well, I was slow today so I went ahead and did another painting...now it's a 3-piece lil set...thinking about doing 2 more. *shrug*

First is a close up of the newest addition, sorry for the frame glare...


...and here is a shot of all 3 together. Looks pretty legit by my station too.

Sometimesssssss...

Here is a 30 minute 5x7 painting from today...Fucked it up right in the beginning. Meant to color the actual body of the snake black, and accidentally colored the inside of the hood black...so had to improvise. Anyway....

You call it religion, you're full of shit!

Well, here is a quick painting from last night:

Good times...

Pop country fucking sucks...

So...this is not a tattoo related post, but an art post none the less. I took home my paints and shit this weekend and actually managed to accomplish something. Hah. Well, I put together a flash sheet of all Hank III(music) inspired pieces. Enjoy, and thank you for looking.

This was a real fun one to do...

Smoke and Wine...

Wellllll, I finally got a new camera!! Thanks you for the early birthday present Mom! I couldn't wait to use it, so I took a picture of a 48 hour old tattoo...so needless to say, you get to see it mid-heal...fun piece none the less. Did this on our apprentice a couple of days ago. Also, missed about 4 days of work with a gnarly, upper respritory infection, good times. Getting over it now though. Anyhow, I should be posting a lot more work now that I have a decent camera. Thanks for looking.

Fun little adaptation of a Brandon Frasier piece he's(Houston) been wanting...

You picked up a bible...and now you're gone.

Well, here is one I got the chance to do on a walk-in on Saturday night. Still suffering the same camera issues...

Yup...

It's better to be stepped on than left alone...

Well, obviously still dealing with the shitty camera, but I had a chance to do some cool pieces yesterday, so I thought I would share...

First we have one of my paintings as a foot tattoo on a good friend of mine, Devin. Thanks bud.


Next up was Devin's lil friend...this was his first tattoo. Actually had to talk him out of a plain ass heart/banner. :p Thanks man, hope it was as good for you as it was for me. hehe.

...and that was it for yesterday since I left work early, due to being under the weather.
