A backpiece I did 30 years ago. Tons of symbolism on a splendid client. A perfect example of collaboration with artist and canvas to accentuate eccentricity.
Celtic Cross Design for Firefighter Tattoo
The badge of courage and faith, worn proudly by the men and women who dare to walk into the inferno to save the lives of strangers.
Memorial Sprockets
When a beloved dog named Sprocket recently died the owner asked for a bracelet of colorful sprocket gears as a memorial.
Bob's Well Bread
Two occupational tattoos on the proprietor of a fabulous local bakery. The ring of bread is covering up a previous tattoo that was a poor start to his ambitions to be illustrated. The bread fork is an antique tool he uses as part of his logo. I am always happy to do designs that embody the passion in someone's life, and this man makes great artisanal bread. https://www.bobswellbread.com/
