Today a client with an ambitious plan for an entire sleeve of Viking tattoo designs added this lively dragon, The body is from an ancient runestone, with the head a modern interpretation of the ancient style. Added to the previous work he is building a sleeve that is rendered in several styles: dynamic band with whip-shading, pointillist dots in the dragon, and tribal boldness in the Helm of Awe.

Today I worked on and possibly completed this back piece tattoo I've been adding onto for several years. She got the first small piece of it while on vacation, and then came to me wanting more, and more. It evolved into a theme.

Today I completed this leg after three sessions that were a bit grueling for the client, but now and forever he will look splendid in a kilt! My favorite kind of work, making an intricate Celtic tattoo that asks a complex knotwork to conform to a body part, living armor.

Recently a woman with a quirky sense of humor asked me to design this rather macabre claddagh, with the traditional hands changed to skeletal bones.
