REFINE

happy halloween....

welcome back... recently i inked my first session as a guest artist at a legit street shop. Golgatha Ink.. still in their first year...  Artist Tony over there challenged me to do a freehand to see what i had. I might be working here a few days out the week.

coincidentally Golgatha means haunted btw n the shop turns out to have some creepy clearly strange happenings going down..... (THERE IS A REAL GHOST IN THIS SHOP)... check out the videos...

a fun stencil ready for ink... just waiting on the client.. if he doesn't show im willing to hook up anyone named Mike..... (depicted is michael the Archangel)

new hobby... making rotary machines.. using erector set parts n a chinese motor... this one worked remarkably well before i dismantled it to a bad case of couldnt leave well enough alone.. the geometry was a bit clunky though so goin back to the drawing board with this... however i grasped the fundamentals of an adjustable give system... vital to making smooth black and grey
pretty trick....and when done right, such a treat

happy halloween gouls and boos.!

with butter..

put in a good session on this marcos piece... new machine back to an old ink system that always yielded good results... altogether equates to a piece i was very excited about upon completion. pondering adding white highlights for added umph.

behold the og3 -1 shader.  made from a stealth and hacked chinese dragonfly copy rotary parts.  the vertical rubberband smooths out the vibrations.. works suprisingly very smooth.  i know storm rotary makes a model like this but factory streamlined.STORM a-250 ADJUSTABLE ROTARY TATTOO MACHINE REVIEW ... im gonna buy it n give it a try.

and finally the more fun loving side of OG3...

money frogs

two homies came in coincidentally getting moneyfrogs... each was customized to fit their personalities...

Thi added onto his forearm..his has waves which hold importance in symbolizing his mothers love and life.. a tsunami scale wall engulfing a worry free unsuspecting moneyfrog just out for his hustle...hes already got a good bite on how to get it.

Ky's frog is a bit more g'd up and less playfull ..cuz Ky dont take kindly to those who play with his money.  His emerges from the water yet is surrounded by it symbolizing that he has escaped drowning and emerged from the waters of the neighborhoods temptations and no goodness.

Both are not finished because both are busy hopping around like frogs out to get coinage in there mouth.
