This was a monumental moment for us last night at the shop. Can’t believe this much time has passed so quickly, but I would like to formally announce that Dillon has successfully made his way through the apprentice program at my studio. I have seen this young man grow so much as an artist, and a businessman in such a short amount of time. I am very proud for how far you’ve come, and am so excited to see you continue to learn and grow with us! Congratulations brother! Your hard work is paying off for you already and this is just the beginning.

Had some special clients come in today. Jaime finally got her tattoo for our Emmi girl. And Zane got his TMNT hand tatt! @mrs_c0rbett

Never got the chance to post this gem—my first half-leg sleeve of Metabee from “Medabots”. What started as just a flash of the head turned into a full-body version, and I’m all for it.

Had no walk-ins on Saturday, so I used the time to cover up an old tattoo. That little Naruto head was my second tattoo, but it was time for something new. The kanji above it is from Soul Eater: ‘A sound soul dwells in a sound mind and a sound body,’ and Naruto didn’t quite fit. With spooky season coming, I brought in Lord Death from Soul Eater to cover it up—because sometimes, even tattoos need a little death to come back to life. Enjoy ✌️ • • • • • #TattooCoverup #AnimeTattoo #SoulEaterTattoo #CoverUpTattoo #SpookySeason #LordDeath #TattooArtist #Inked #TattooReel #TattooApprentice

💀 Spooky season is here, so you know I had to cook up some fresh tattoo flash! Here’s a breakdown of these skulls, all ready to be tattooed for the bold ones out there: Sword and Skull - A decaying skull impaled on a vine-wrapped sword, perfect for anyone wanting a mix of nature and death vibes. Melting Candle Skull - This one’s literally melting away! A skull turned candle, with wax dripping down like it’s fading into the afterlife. Crowned Skull with Axe - King no more! A cracked skull with a battle axe right through the crown. Surrender to the Savages! Mushroom Skull - Fungi takeover! A skull covered in mushrooms, growing through it like it’s become one with the earth again. These pieces are prime for spooky season tattoos, and l’m hyped for the opportunity to tattoo.

Whaddup! Here’s the latest in practicing coloring and blending. Bugz is getting filled in. I had some issues with fake skin and the black outline blending into the colors. But that won’t happen on actual skin and I had fun doing this. For this piece, I laid down the lines first, making sure to get those crisp lines just right. Then, I switched to coloring, focusing on smooth blends and vibrant hues. I’ll get to the grill at some point 😅. Stay tuned for more to come, peace! #TattooApprentice #TattooArt #TattooLife #TattooArtist #Tattooing #Inked #FakeSkin #BugsBunny #TuneSquad #SpaceJamTattoo #CartoonTattoos #NostalgiaTattoos

Laying down some ink on fake skin with Marvin the Martian. Wrapping up the Tune Squad, and he was the last one. It’s awesome to tattoo characters I grew up watching and decided to thug out. For this piece, I started with the outline, carefully working on those crisp lines to capture Marvin’s iconic look. Then, I switched to a smaller needle grouping to work in the finer details. Should I add some color? 🤔 Stay tuned for the next steps! Thanks for all the love and support, peace! #TattooApprentice #TattooArt #TattooLife #TattooArtist #Tattooing #Inked #FakeSkin #MarvinTheMartian #TuneSquad #SpaceJamTattoo #CartoonTattoos #NostalgiaTattoos

Just finished another fun flash sheet! Here’s the Tune Squad in all their glory, ready for action. I thought about calling them the Goon Squad, but it turns out those are the villains in the new Space Jam 🙄. This is a little homage to my youth and for anyone else who remembers the classic Looney Tunes. If you have any ideas you’d like to see, let me know.

HAPPY SATURDAY & Happy May 4th, ya geeks. I present to you the Dark Side Star Wars Flash Sheet. To celebrate this fandom day, I created a Dark Side Japanese flash sheet. Its a little detail for a flash sheet but I wanted to have some fun with this one. Taking done head shots of some classic villains. Those of the Dark Side: Darth Vader, the imposing Sith Lord; Darth Maul, the fierce Zabrak warrior; General Grievous, the cyborg commander; Boba Fett, the notorious bounty hunter; and a stormtrooper, the iconic foot soldier of the Empire.

A recent redo of an older design I did of Sun Wukong: the Monkey King, a legendary figure in Chinese mythology celebrated for his cunning, strength, and magical abilities. Featured prominently in “Journey to the West,” he embodies the spirit of adventure and heroism, captivating hearts with his timeless tale of triumph and self-discovery.I threw this design on my first fake skin as an apprentice to practice some tattooing, so stay tuned for some ink’d lines 😎.

Here’s my latest drawing….A “Tiger Shark”. The general approach was to take some animals and fuse them into their own creature/chimera. I’ve blended various animal traits to craft this unique creature, drawing inspiration from nature’s naming patterns. The end result being a cool ass Japanese Tiger Shark. Let me know what you think!

1 week ago the fine-line killer @butz.tattoos knocked out some killer kanji from the anime “Soul Eater” onto my thigh. “A sound soul, dwells within a sound mind, and a sound body”. Once I saw his script work I knew he was the dude to go to! The junior artist tattooing the apprentice. Hit my guy up for the upcoming Flash Day Event, April 6th. Be there or be square!

Sketch and line work of the recent “Tiger Shark” I’m still working on. I maybe redrew this 3-4 times 😅 but it was worth it. Time to give it some color now, Enjoy ✌️ • • • • • #TattooArt #InkDrawing #InkIllustration #TigerShark #TattooSketch #TattooDesign #Tattoo#TattooInspiration #TattooArtist #TattooApprentice

Wow, this one really stumped me. Just like millions of people worldwide, Akira Toriyama served as the motivation and inspiration for countless artists in their early days. Like many others, I grew up glued to DBZ. I vividly remember my preschool/elementary days, sitting in front of the TV before school. Despite lacking cable, we had a handful of channels. Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon filled the half-hour slot before the morning news. Each day, I marveled at the lightning-fast battles of the Saiyans. That was just the beginning for me; I hadn’t even heard of the term “anime” yet. Over the years, Dragonball remained the cornerstone of my passion for anime. Akira’s passing prompted me to reflect on the countless memories and years shaped by his work. Thank you, Akira. You shaped my childhood, as well as that of countless others. Your legacy will endure.

Excited to share my latest tattoo design! 🖋️ Adding a subtle drop shadow really brought this piece to life. Hope you enjoy ✌️ • • • • • #tattoo #tattooartist #tattooapprentice #scripttattoo #scriptlettering #flowertattoo #skullart #skulltattoo #lineworktattoo #bloomtodeath #tattooart

I’m excited to share a timelapse reel of my latest creation - a manga-style tribute to the iconic Princess Mononoke! 🎥🐺🖋️ Crafting this piece was really fun, my aim was to capture the heart of this timeless story. 🌟✨ I’d love to hear your take on it.

Let’s delve into the digital realm with ‘The Horned King.’ Unlike the previous traditional piece, I brought this version to life entirely on my iPad, fully embracing the precision and limitless creative potential of digital art. In this rendition, I aimed to capture every eerie aspect of the Horned King, including the unsettling, otherworldly green aura that surrounds him, along with the chilling cruelty in his eyes. His skeletal hands firmly clutch his foreboding throne chair, underscoring his malevolent presence.

Here’s my finished portrayal of ‘The Horned King,’ created on Arches watercolor paper using a sumi ink brush and UV ink.

Expect more spooky art this Halloween! The Horned King exudes darkness and malevolence, shrouded in tattered robes with distinctive, menacing black horns. In this piece, his skeletal hands grip his ominous throne chair, emphasizing his foreboding presence. I aimed to capture his eerie eyes, glowing with cruelty.

Witness the synergy between two iconic figures in my timelapse creation: Sung Jin Woo, the resolute protagonist of “Solo Leveling,” and the enigmatic God statue. Just as Sung Jin Woo’s evolution from an E-rank hunter to an S-rank showcases the potential for human growth and determination, the imposing statue represents the hidden forces that shape our world.

Ah, yes! Another practice session completed and I felt very satisfied with this one. I had been learning and testing out different ink cartridges to achieve various effects, and last night’s practice was very gratifying. I focused on creating thick outlines using a round shader and thin detail lines using a round liner. I’m open to critique and criticism. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Enjoy! • • • • • • • #tattoo #tattooflash #tattooart #tattoofakeskin #flowertattoo #tattoopractice #tattooapprentice #tattooapprenticeship #flowerart #tattootimelapse

What an incredible journey! I've officially completed my first book cover, which is a special gift for my girlfriend @leannmariecotton. She's accomplished the remarkable feat of finishing her inaugural book in a series and entrusted me with the task of illustrating its cover. It was a true honor to receive this request, and I dedicated 1.5 months to bring it to fruition. The artwork is a blend of three distinct styles, akin to mixed media. The background comes to life with watercolors, the characters are skillfully drawn, and I utilized Adobe Illustrator to add those final, intricate details. The entire process was an enriching learning experience, marking the beginning of what I hope will be many more book covers in my future. Mark your calendars for September 21st, as that's when the book will be officially released. I read the book and let me tell you, you’re in for a treat 😊.

“Whispers of Balance”- Embracing Kaizen 🎨 Hello art enthusiasts, I’m excited to share that “Whispers of Balance” is complete, embodying the essence of Kaizen. The kitsune mask, delicate and powerful, now features a shuriken on its forehead, representing strength and vulnerability in harmony. The rising smoke and “Kaizen” in Japanese remind us of continual growth. The shuriken signifies unwavering determination, while the kitsune mask represents concealed emotions. Together, they echo life’s delicate balance. As we admire “Whispers of Balance,” let’s embrace Kaizen’s wisdom - progress through small steps. Just like the shuriken and mask coexist, may our strengths and vulnerabilities find their balance. Your support means the world. Stay tuned for more inspirations. • • • • • #anime #animedrawing #animefanart #art #art_collective #art_spotlight #characterart #characterdesign #comicart #conceptart #digitalart #digitalillustration #doodle #drawing #fanart #fantasy #illustration #lineart #linework #manga #mangaart #pen #procreate #procreateapp #sketch #sketchbook #japaneseart #tattooart #kaizen #kitsune

Recently, I’ve been spending an hour at the end of each day practicing tattooing in some capacity. Initially, I used ballpoint cartridges(@inluminoheartink) because I didn’t feel comfortable enough with handling a tattoo machine to execute proper ink application and setup. With practice, study through courses and reading, I’ve now made my first attempt on fake skin. While it’s not my best work, it’s certainly not my worst either.
