Some cherry blossoms on Ian from several months back, all healed and settled in. A small detail of a much larger project that I'm very much looking forward to finishing. Thanks my dude!

Still here.

My nerve damage took away the use of my hands and legs, and I left the hospital barely mobile and unable to even write my own name. The doctors told me I was going to be out of commission for 6 months to a year, and yet, 6 weeks later I'm walking without a cane and already making art again. I had been preparing for the unthinkable scenario of stepping away from tattooing, but thankfully it appears I'll be back in the saddle far sooner than expected. My recovery would be impossible without the support of my friends and colleagues and clients, everyone who has selflessly donated to the Gofundme, and especially the endless love and support and patience of my partner Allegra. I'll be making an announcement and notifying clients soon of my return date. Thank you all so, so fu***ng much. See you at the shop 🤙

Welp, this is a humbling and terrifying life development that I'd rather not be posting about, but it turns out I have some pretty severe nerve damage that is going to prevent me from tattooing or doing much else for the foreseeable future. All appointments on the books will regrettably need to be canceled until further notice. I'm so, so sorry, especially to all the folks with tattoos already in progress. I'll keep y'all posted on any new developments, good or bad, but in the meantime, sadly... over and out. Wish me luck, if you believe in that kinda s**t.

Forever a favorite...Gracie's back, finished a few years ago and holding up great thus far 🤌 I very much enjoy making tattoos from classical art, whether from a painting or sculpture or piece of architecture or the 16th century engraving we referenced for this project.

Thanks Chloe! Solid first session, looking forward to getting back into these misty pines.
