Made a quick stop to see master Jose, who just flew back from Canada to see him at the shop.

Paulie and Jacob from Vinnie Styles ,NY  flew in to get there grandmother’s portrait on the inner right bicept.

Paulie and Jacob, are true to their tattooing game , with dedicated sleeves done by master Toons, their work reaches beyond the norm. It’s always amazing to see true people who understand the meaning behind “for life”, and who are seriously invested into ink that is…

 flawless….

timeless..

and…perfect! Jose and Cartoon, I salute you.

Decided to take a quick break to the desert. Mountains, dirt, sand, and most importantly–nobody. 

George came through to work his lower left sleeve with the classic Quetzal bird, the symbol of Guatemala to represent his heritage. 

Caesar came to finish his Caesar..

“The greatest enemy lies…..

in the last place …..

…you will ever look.”

– Gaius Julius Casear (100-44 BC)

First, the brother Matt came in to work his inner left bicep with a portrait of his mom.

He wanted the concept of the angel to always protect him. There’s still another sitting with the background-trip on the old photo we used of Matt’s mother in her youth, taken in the late 60’s!

And Jimmy came through to finish the night with his renaissance/day of the dead piece.

The homey Lino came through to add in his first born son to his inner right arm.

With three kids all together-all boys, big Lino is one dedicated father and committed when it comes his kids.
