“A tattoo is an affirmation: that this body is yours to have and to enjoy while you’re here. Nobody else can control what you do with it.”

— Don Ed Hardy

Welcome!

Below are a few recent tattoo posts from Instagram, feel free to visit me there for a consistently updated stream of what I’m up to, or check out my PORTFOLIO for a curated selection of work.

Something a bit different for my pal Larry. 🐌Thank you and congratulations! Looking forward to next time!

Got to make this kitsune mask for my new friend Brice yesterday. Kitsune means fox 🦊 in Japanese, and the fox mythology in Japan (and Korea, China, and pretty much anywhere in Eastern Asia) runs really deep. They fill a folkloric role very similar to the coyote in Native American mythology, but much, uh, sexier. And a bit more malevolent, very often. Hahaha. Anyway. Thanks for checking it out, if you want a tattoo from me, just hit me up, I’m easy to find and work with

It’s always crazy (in a good way) to tattoo another tattooer, especially when it’s someone you don’t work with every day. Super humbling and always fun! Thank you Xander! @xeres.ink

I tried to really channel my inner ink master on this tattoo. I’m not sure it has enough incorporation of finesse. Sorry Mr. Navarro. Thank you to Eddie for being a friend first on every matter, and for picking a design from my drawings!

Nearly there on this big project for Jenna, purveyor of energy drinks and avatar of mayhem. Thanks for always bringing good energy, homie! Want a tattoo? I’ve got time, let’s go! Call @sickleandmoontattoo or hit me up directly today.

A ladybird (famously called ladyBUGS by everyone who has ever lived) for Sivie’s first tattoo. Additionally, I have included a deluxe rare healed photograph of a recently cured tattoo on a friend of the studio.

A couple of tattoos, some healed stuff, a spider sketch. All for the price of one post! Now, I want to know what you’ve been listening to lately. Been on a Deafheaven kick lately, myself, but also some other bands I’ve recently found like Couch Slut and The Fall of Efrafa.

I 🖤 @sickleandmoontattoo And crow tattoos are tight too. Thanks for being cool and grabbing this one, Reed, you were awesome!

Very fun mantis done today for my friend Caryn. I’d love to do more insects!!! Thanks for checking out my stuff and thanks again to Caryn for getting tattooed. Hit me up for your next tattoo.

Had a lot on my mind lately. Isn’t it crazy how something can seem so important one moment, and so trivial the next sometimes? Thanks for humoring me. Here are several ideas in varying states of completion. I think they’d all make very fun tattoos. Hit me up if you’re interested.
