but goodie

painted this for the art show we had last august! a friend came in from out of town this week and had to have her, so i got a couple snaps of her before she rode on down that lonesome highway....

if you're ever in Arizona, stop by Culture Shok Tattoo in Lake Havasu, say hi to PJ and see this mamajama up close!

that is correct

people love our shop SO MUCH that they get the shop's name tattooed on them!!!

this one is on Wallace. he is one of our best military customers and he skipped town yesterday to go and do somethin' that's supposed to make us all feel safer. good luck, fella!

sign your life away

after some weeks of deliberation, i finally made this guy work. two-sided... i decided that doing each side differently would be a bonus for everyone involved... enjoy!

cuh caw!

two great ideas on the same fella. his concept was to have a front and back sun/moon motif with a tree and a couple of specific critters in the mix...

just anotter sunday

my friend from out of town visited this weekend and we had lots of fun.

while walking around town sunday morning, we encountered a gentleman who was dressed like a 'casual friday' indiana jones who accurately and astutely sized us both up as otters.

he said however that it was, "so good to see you, both of you." and continued boppin along.

later in the day it was discussed that an otter tattoo would make a most splendid monterey souvenir....

signed and dined

Here is the latest addition to our little family... this was a load of fun.....

The magic of Sundays

Tattooing holds a pretty odd and serendipitous flow of design frequency which will sometimes manifest itself in hilarious ways... or, people have a tendency to get a lot of the same designs all at one time, any tattooer can tell you about the two weeks of birds, or names, or roses that they may have done (anyone remember paying their rent with those big 3's after Dale Earnheart died?). While it is kind of rare, without promotion, to do any thematic tattooing on holidays (mom hearts on mother's day, etc...) people f--kin' LOVE god, and they love gettin' their god tattoos on sunday, god bless'em!

This was a walk-in done this last sunday, on a really great cat from back east, he had to get it done before his bus left town, easily the most fun of the other churchy tattoos that got done that day (Erin put on a couple crosses, too)....
