Neil is a friend of mine. He is mostly covered with less than desirable tattoos from when he was young. It is my goal over the next 10 months to completely re-work and re-imagine all of Neil's existing 20ish tattoos. In addition to that, the spaces he has left will be fresh, original art drawn and tattooed by me. Check back often for updates.

Shark hands!!!!
this was a custom chestpiece that I drew up for Neil. the hands are mine from reference on my camera phone as i was doing the tattoo.
Goat lady
Neil's devil face guy
this one was just re-lined with an 8 round liner and had some solid blacks put in there with an 8 round shader. there was even some cover up action in the area covered by hair by the ear. im still trying to figure out what colors i want it to be. i keep going back to red, but everyone has red devils, you know? gahh. i'll figure it out by the time he's healed.
Neil's bat brought to life
Neil had a pet bat when he was 14, his parents got rid of it so then he ran out and got a tattoo of it on his chest. pretty hardcore. this was Neil's first tattoo so it seemed like a good place to start.
The pinkish hue on the majority of the bat is actually blood mixed with the ink. when it heals it looks like the left side of it.
