2012

I've been slacking on the old blog with the new shop and printing taking up so much time.

I will be posting more on here again of in progress tattoos and adventures in 2012.  Thanks to everyone that checks this site out once and a while.

Rise above tattoo grand opening

We are having our grand opening party on Jan 14th for Rise Above Tattoos, in Orlando FL.

Come check out the shop and see some awesome bands play

Wet nurse, teenage softies, thee wilt chamberlin, odd movers, cannabass, feral babies, axis, knife hits,

dissident aggressor, and abuse.  The first 50 people get free shirts and some surprises with food and drinks provided as long as they last.

Rise Above Tattoo

So I have just opened a new shop in Orlando FL, called Rise Above Tattoo with my friend scott white.  Here are some photos of the inside of the shop.  You should come down and check it out, we packed it full of cool stuff.

Some new tattoos from orlando

These are a few tattoos from people that made there way up to Orlando from the Tampa area.  

This was the other side to a skeleton key I did a while ago.

 This was her kids names, she sat for the whole tattoo in one sitting.

 This one was on a good friend Daryl that made some cool cutouts for the new shop.  Ill post some pictures soon.

Phoenix

This is a cover up of a phoenix that she had on her foot.  I still have a little bit of background and details to do then I will have a good healed photo.

The Reaper

Here are some photos of a real fun backpiece I finished a while ago and just got some healed photos of.  There is a detail pic of the octopus grabbing the boat, and lightning.

In progress and moving to Orlando

Thought I would post a few of the in progress pieces I have going on in St. Petersburg.  I will officially be in Orlando on June 27th, so you can contact me for appointments in Orlando starting then.

Nesting Hot stuffs

This was a deviled egg tattoo that was inspired by a painting shawn nutting did.

Moving forward

So I have made the decision to move to Olrando.  I will be working near downtown, I will post more about that when I can.  I am setting the last of my tattoos that will be done in St. Pete for the end of june.  So hopefully I will be up and going by mid july in Orlando.  I will be posting a calendar on this page so you can see where I will be and when.  I have a lot of large pieces to finish, and good clients in St. Pete that I will be traveling back to tattoo every couple months.  

Yamata no Orochi

Took some good photos of this one since the wearer just moved to Seattle im gonna figure it won't be finished for a long time.  Enjoy

some new stuff

This is a leg sock I finished a couple weeks ago hopefully ill have some healed pics soon

I did all the water and flowers on this one around some existing tattoos

This is the bottom half to a full sleeve.  Real fun and magical.

Some in progress

 This snake and water is finished I hope to get healed photos soon

Hanya

started this piece in Ft. Myers as a cap off to a sleeve that Mark Stewart did.

quick ones

I've been doing a good amount of one sitting tattoos which is great.  Really good to see a finished tattoo leave the shop once and a while.

L.A.

So I will be tattooing at the Musink tattoo convention in LA march 4-6th.  Friday night Suicidal Tendencies are playing, and Sunday night Hot Water Music is playing so you should come out if your in town.  I have a few spots open early in the day on friday and saturday still open.  Here is the koi rib piece finished also.

Art Show

I will have a painting in this show so if your in Atlanta go check it out cause the roster of artists involved is amazing.  I also did prints for a few artists that are in it so you can get some affordable art there for sure.

Progress report

Here is an in progress rib piece about 5 hours in it already and prob 2-3 to finish.  I will also be tattooing at the Philly convention Feb 4th thru the 6th.  I only have 2 slots open so contact me soon if you want to get tattooed.
