I LOVE DOING TRADITIONAL TATTOOS... ESPECIALLY WHEN I GET TO BRING THEM UP TO SPEED WITH SOME MODERN DAY FINESSE. THIS ONE WAS DONE FOR MY GOOD FRIEND CIARA, TO COMMEMORATE HER GRADUATING NURSING SCHOOL AND LANDING A POSITION AT A LOCAL HOSPITAL.
THE QUOTE AROUND THE NURSE IS FROM THE FIRST NURSE EVER, FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, "HEALTH IS NOT ONLY TO BE WELL, BUT TO USE WELL EVERY POWER THAT WE HAVE" ...CONGRATS CIARA!!! THIS WAS SO FUN FOR ME, THANKS!!!

=BLAKES ROBIN HOOD SLEEVE=
BEGAN WORKING ON BLAKE'S ROBIN HOOD SLEEVE IDEA RECENTLY... KIND OF A HYBRID STYLE WITH THE BACKGROUND GOING TO BE FULL COLOR, AND THE INSET CHARACTERS BLACK AND GREY... BLOCK PRINT STYLE. FUNNY THING IS, THIS ALL STARTED FROM THE FRAIR TUCK TATTOO... AND BLAKE SAID, " EH... I THINK I'LL JUST DO ALL OF 'EM..." WELL DONE BLAKE, WELL DONE SIR.
=SKETCHIN'=
WE'RE SUPER STOKED AT VIRTUE TO DO PRIMARILY CUSTOM WORK... THOSE AMAZING IDEAS OF YOURS BECOMING AMAZING TATTOOS IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF THE ART. BELOW ARE SOME DETAILS OF A HALF AND A FULL SLEEVE DRAWN BY SANDY JONES FOR CHRIS AND BRANDON RECENTLY. THE BOYS BROUGHT IN IMAGES AND IDEAS, AND SANDY CONSTRUCTED A TATTOO PLAN FROM THEIR RESOURCES... LOOK FOR PICS OF THE TATTOOS IN PROGRESS TO COME!
