I just finished this tattoo about an hour ago. It’s done on this guy Brian, that works with my friend Austin at Vinnie’s Pizza. He’s a really awesome guy. I’m very excited with the way that this tattoo came out. Thank you, Brian!

My friend Milan took this picture through his phone when I was tattooing him around Thanksgiving. He got the traditional eagle with stars on his thigh. I think the picture is awesome and I had to post it. Thanks for the pic, Milan!

This is my friend Colin looking uber cool for this Nike Bridge Runners ad. He told me how the tattoo I did on him was photographed and is going to be all over the place. Of course, I didn’t believe him and just laughed it off. I happened to come across this recently through someone’s blog that I follow. I honestly don’t even remember whose it is, but, low and behold…there...

I did these on my friends Amanda and Megan yesterday for the Sailor Jerry flash sale I’ve been running to help get through the slow season. I’m really excited with how these both came out. I’ve been wanting to do a ship for a while now and I finally got the opportunity thanks to Megan. I’m already thinking about how I want to tackle the next one.
I suppose I do that a...

My friend, Jian, came by the Moonlit Studio shop yesterday in Manhattan. He’s a fashion writer based out of Northern Virginia but he’s here in NY covering some tradeshows. Jian wanted to get “Blog Life” on the inside of his fingers. Thanks for stopping through Jian!

Here’s my painting of the all popular Pharaoh’s Horses that I started recently. It’s still not finished yet because I’m trying to figure out what kind of background I’d like to use.

I did this script Sunday on my friend Hugo. He plays in this great metal band Concussion with my good friend Dan Bones, who happens to work at Lucky Wolf with me. Hugo showed up drunk demanding a tattoo, so I said “Fuck it”.

I was hanging out with my good friend, Austin yesterday. I haven’t seen him in a while so it was definitely nice to catch up. We wandered around the city, bullshitting, and venting. It was pretty awesome. We decided to end the day with a tattoo. I’m really psyched on what he wanted to do and how it came out. He got the quote from a Nick Cave song and it says “There’s...

For this year I promised myself to travel as much as I can. Around the US and especially outside of it. I seriously don’t travel at all. I mean shit, I’m definitely not getting any damn younger. SOOOO, if anyone can help get me into a shop as a guest spot or something in or outside of the US (preferably outside), I’ll be eternally grateful and give you a free tattoo. Think about...
This is a small hook I did on my friend Megan, who is actually Walt’s girlfriend. She’s really sweet. I was really stoked when she told me she wanted a tattoo of Captain Hook’s hook. It’s such a great concept. I really like the colors I used. I think it came out well. Thanks, Megan!

This is a spark plug I did the first day I arrived in Virginia for the holidays. It’s on my friend Walt. I’ve known Walt for a while now. We used to race cars together with a bunch of our mutual friends (yeah, I know). Believe me, it was a really great and insane period of my life. Haha. Anyway, he now builds motorcycles and does a damn good job at it. Thanks, Walt!

These are photos I took in Virginia the first day of that blizzard. Virginia Beach barely gets snow like this, so it was amazing to see how much had accumulated throughout the night.

Here are some photos that I took on Christmas day. I’m really happy I got to see my family. I think I really needed it. It actually makes me homesick just seeing these photos.
My sister, Liza’s awesome wrapping techniques. They’re really a present on their own.
Yeah…no clue.
My sister enjoys expressions.
My niece, Elizabeth already showing you her...
