I am super excited to share pics of Eric Loyer’s multi-coverup sleeve totally healed and settled! We took these healed pics a few months ago and I wanted to include before/after pics as well. Coverups are a unique challenge in tattooing, and I am always happy to help when a client needs a change.

It’s been a real pleasure getting to know Eric over the course of his piece and his sleeve is definitely one of my fave recent pieces. Thanks again, Eric! 💀✨

Had a great time doing the finishing touches on ’s rad ribs/stomach piece yesterday at ! We originally started with the two rib panels, expanding and reworking an existing playing card piece on his right ribs. Afterward we designed a complementary piece for his left ribs. We then tied his chestpiece and rib panels together with the central boar and goat piece, transforming the existing pattern on his chest into the horns of the goat. I really love how his pieces all work together, despite being planned at different times. Pretty much everything is healed here, except for some small tweaks.

Thanks again, Andrew! It is always a real pleasure catching up with you, my friend! See you soon! 🐗✨

*the tribal tattoos on arms and chest are not my work.
