These are all original designs (and the odd reimagined design, generally explicitly stated if so) that I would like to tattoo or to use as reference in a tattoo. Typically once I tattoo one of these images, I do not replicate it, so nobody else will be walking around with your tattoo. If it is still shown on this page, it is safe to assume that it is still available.
Please note that sizes indicated below are the minimum size/or the size of the drawing in its original proportions. Nearly any design can be made larger, and most would look great if they are enlarged, and a handful can be shrunk or have components removed
THIS IS NOT THE ENTIRETY OF MY AVAILABLE WORK. I ONLY UPLOAD DESIGNS HERE THAT ARE EASILY PRESENTED IN THIS FORMAT. SOME DESIGNS ARE VIEWABLE ONLY IN-PERSON.
I also maintain a sizeable collection of classic flash and images of woodblock prints I am always ecstatic to reproduce that is not shown here, so please ask about that, especially if you are interested in a tattoo with a more traditional American or Japanese style.
For any questions, simply email me or fill out an appointment request form. Thank you for looking.
Note: Some designs may be shown as unfinished sketches. The tattoo itself would be a fully-rendered image. Colors and other design elements may change according to the person and placement.

Large. Dream placement for this design would be on the side from hip/butt down to right above the knee. It can be shrank to work on some other areas as well, but would still need to be relatively large. This is a redrawn Ben Corday (early 1900s tattoo artist) design. Willing to cut a serious deal on this for the right person. No changes.
