Its weird how some days you only tattoo one body part all day. That happens to me alot. like all backs or all calves or arms whatevers. Today was one of those days. Im so close to being done with lincolns back. just a progress shot of thigh. im gonna be so happy when i finish him up

then finished up Robins leg. (both very fun tattoos. thank you to both of them) lately ive been tattooing more girls than guys and i gotta hand it to the ladies cos they can hang. they usually dont even ask for any breaks. maybe its because they’re all crazy …?

well they weren’t skulls but these were and are 2 enjoyable tattoos to do.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE SKULLS, DONT ASK ME WHAT MY FAVORITE THING TO TATTOO IS.
(ask me for something like this)

right and left leg gerry san jose

or this (also a fun piece to do)

you to kimi
Sometimes i get to spend the day with someone who i normally don’t get a chance to and they always seem to say the same thing to me. something along the lines of “So this is what you do all day” or “A day in the life of Lucky!……” some bullshit like that, just poking fun but i people really think that i don’t do shit. or dont have problems or need to pay bills. its so strange to me and sometimes annoying. “BITCH I DO WORK!” im not mad im just saying. so for all those fuckers, heres just a taste

i do tattoos, lots. THATS MY JOB.

then i help my friend brandon dodge hanging lights from the celling. and i am his spiritual adviser.

then i take fotos in front of awesome brick walls that were laid by hand back in the day.

then i make trouble and talk shit to all these people and their dog. then i eat chips and m&ms for dinner

then i come home and paint shoes to sell to you or i work on your tattoo drawings.
DONT HATE PLAYBOY!

or is gonna be real soon anyway…

this on came out super sick. check out their online store they got a free shipping special
calabo shirt from mishka and flying coffin

So lately i’ve been wanting to practice up on some portrait style work. so jessico brought me a book he said would help me polish up on some skills. so i start reading this book and it basically starts at the begging, with the Greeks and the Egyptians and other art history. then it goes through this whole mathematical part of the golden ratio and i realize that my tiny brain cannot comprehend WTF this book is saying to me. Of coarse i skip through a bit and get to some of the things i can actually understand. but man………..
The Atelier Method is a method of fine art instruction modeled after the private art studio schools of 15th to 19th century Europe. Taking its name from the French word for “artist’s studio,” the Atelier Method is a form of private instruction in which an artist, usually a professional painter, works closely with a small number of students to progressively train them. Atelier schools can be found around the world, particularly in North America and Western Europe.
i also had to look up the word “atelier” im so glad im not in school any more, kids would laugh and point their fingers at me and i would be forced to brake them off.
getchur game up son!
