Above is my sister's new tattoo, it is supposed to be both of her daughters initials (ESO and EGO in English). But what are we really looking at?

Thanks!

Summer - 2013

Well, as always it's been a while since I posted.  Here are some new photos of what I've been up to.


Holdin' onto these quite a bit.

An older one - healed.

Some asparagus.   Stuff like this is my bread and butter.

Some beehives, These were real fun ones.

Do you ever think about... like... Hexagons?

Another real fun one.  Hand poked circle.

A nice big outline.  One of a couple larger tattoos I've started lately.

I got to polish up this one, one of my favorite tattoos ever. 

It felt cool to do this one, a big ole heart and a pair of lungs. 

Sometimes I feel like I'm getting away with a lot these days.  Line-blasted tree.  When I was really young, I had a wonderful artist friend take me to a windrow of willows and ask me to draw them.  That was the day I learned about "shorthand" drawing. 





I was happy with how this olive branch turned out.

Cover-up patch.

Just for fun patch.  With another cover up to the right.

A three quarter sleeve I've been working on.  I'm happy to have something large to show people.




Roses are good.



Some details of the four circles piece. 

And beautifull Avery!

Thanks for looking, Bram

subject: What does this mean?



My friend asked me to find out what she's had tattooed on her shoulder since her teens.



Can you translate it or identify it as junk?

Hi Tian, I have always wondered what this tattoo really says. 



It's supposed to be the initials "S M S". 



Something tells me that it does not. Id love it if you could clear this up for me finally!







Another sucker of the gibberish font.

No idea what I even had done 15 years ago. Honestly no clue any help? 



I think was meant to be my initials.

This guy told me his tattoo (老彼了我孩)means I'm always looking after my boys.
