welcome to the jungle eagle

alright, so there is no jungle eagle. at least not on this blog....

what i do have for you this time, faithful readers, is a small recap of the Friday the 13th Tattoo Extravaganza that we here at Olde Town Tattoo put together over the last couple of months. The $13 tattoos sold remarkably well. my 3 designs are pictured below. i had a TON of fun with these guys and i could pretty much do this bold, folky look all damn day, so if this is up your alley, bring thyself into the light!!! it's worth noting (without naming names) that each person that got one of these tattoos were an absolute pleasure to spend time with. come get more hurted you guys!!!

i also got to see (and tattoo) some friends from the Bay this weekend. she is an animal lover and is in the process of getting a sleeve of, well, animals! this one is special not just because of who wears it, but also for the illustrative style not common in tattooing. pardon the green fog in the background, this was drawn on...

first tattoo of the new year! this young lady has the constitution of a brick wall. well done, miss. this is a fitting compliment to the year of the dragon that we are entering, as the phoenix and dragon are often depicted in art as complimentary opposites; the dragon representing the male side of things and the phoenix holding it down for the ladies.

don't miss out on our art show and tattoo event, happening Fri. Jan. 13th, $13 tattoos at 1pm, art show at 6pm. Click here for all the details...
