=MY KID=

LEAVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER TO COME HOME EVERY OTHER DAY WITH FULL SLEEVES AND HAND COVERAGE DRAWN ON... OH, IF 7TH GRADE WAS THIS FUN FOR ME. I LOVE MY LIL' GIRL. GO PNUT!!!

=DIEGO GETS SOME=

I'VE BEEN TALKING WITH DIEGO ABOUT THIS CHEST PIECE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW, AND AT LONG LAST WE MADE THE DANG THING HAPPEN! I WAS JAZZED ON THIS ONE FROM THE BEGINNING, BUT IT TOOK ALOT OF LIVING BEFORE WE ACTUALLY GOT TO SIT DOWN AND GET THIS ROLLING... DRAWING'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE REFERENCE AND FIRST IDEAS... BUT I'M SUPER PLEASED WITH THE DIRECTION WE TOOK THIS ONE. STRAIGHT TATTOO, STRAIGHT SOLID. TOOK AN HOUR... THE ANTICIPATION JUST POWERED THE FLOW. WELL SAT MATE.

=WORK SON...=

I RARELY GET TATTOOED ANYMORE IF I'M NOT DOING SOMETHING ON MYSELF IN A SPOT THAT I CAN REACH... BUT MY BROTHER CALEB WAS IN TOWN THIS PAST WEEK FOR A GUEST SPOT AND WE DID SOME LONG-AWAITED SWAPPING! STOKED!!! MY ARMS HAVE BEEN EMPTY UP TOP FOR A GOOD 10 YEARS, SO I AM HUMBLED AND OVERJOYED TO BUILD UP THE REST OF MY SLEEVES... MORE PICS TO COME OF WHAT MY BOY BEN DID ON MY OTHER ARM SOON... BOTH ARMS TAKEN CARE OF WITHIN 3 WEEKS, SAY WORD.

CALEB'S...

=JOHNNY'S GREAT OWL=

WEIRDEST TATTOO I'VE DONE TO DATE... NOT THE TATTOO ITSELF, BUT THE FACT THAT WE WERE FILMING A TIME-LAPSE VIDEO OF THE WHOLE THING UNDER LED LIGHTS IN THE DARK. LED'S REFRESH, OR STROBE A BIT... SO MY TATTOO MACHINE ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE IT WAS MOVING IN SLOW MOTION... AND HIS LEG WAS PULSING WITH EVERY PRICK OF THE NEEDLE. TRIPPED ME THE HECK OUT!

NEVER THE LESS... THIS 'GREAT OWL' FROM THE SECRET OF NIMH CAME OUT JUST FINE. I DIG IT. SOON WE'LL HAVE A VIDEO OF THE PROCESS, START TO FINISH, TO SHARE. I'M HYPED! THANKS TO CALLIE FOR FILMING, JOHNNY FOR SITTING, AS WELL AS OUR SPECIAL POSSE THAT NIGHT.

=SANDY'S JESUS=

SOMETIMES I WANNA GET TATTOOED TOO... WHEN THERE'S NO ONE ELSE HANDY TO HOOK ME UP, I DO IT MYSELF. AS LONG AS I CAN REACH IT, THAT IS!

DID A LIL' JESUS ON MY LEG... MY NEW BUDDY.

=DAN'S JOINT=

DANIEL GOT THIS IMAGE TAKEN FROM AN OLD CATHEDRAL, CARVED IN THE STONE... PERFECT FOR A GUY WHO IS BASICALLY A PIRATE, WORKING ON A SHIP HERE IN PORTLAND. LOVE IT.
