TATTOOS DOWNUNDER ARTICLE

in
I have an article in the latest edition of Tattoos Downunder on the shelves now.
It is a recount of a trip I had late last year to Tokyo with fellow Tattoo artists from the world over , in search of inspiration. I hope you enjoy the read. It will also be uploaded into my Media section.

PIG AND ROOSTER

in
Here we have a resurgence in some classic Navy Tattoos.
I am lucky enough to Tattoo alot of Navy guys and especially divers.
Here the symbolism is that in the old days when ships would cary livestock on deck , if the ship went down the livestock would float as they were in wooden creates , so a sailor would swim towards such and hang on .
Thanks to the guys for allowing me in on this and to Micheal Barnes for starting the ball rolling . He was responsible for stylizing his to suit the divers .
Stay safe guys and respect.
