Lola the English Bulldog

I was standing on U Street today in front of the tattoo shop "Pinz-n-Needlez" and a lady with a beautiful English bulldog walked by...I'm a lover all bulldogs, so I asked her if I could take a few photos....the dog's name is "Lola" and she is 3 months old....she has one beautiful light blue eye


















I tried my best to take pics but she wouldn't sit still...but look at her "eye"

Genash Elephant Tattoo

This has to be one of my favorite tattoos this year...this is the first DC appointment on this tour... She gave me creative control... She gave me 2 ideas and the genash elephant was the best idea... I LOVE to do black & grey..it took ALLday but she was one STRONG woman...most men would have tapped out after the first 4 hours... Thanks Sis for this moment

Side Tattoos: Follow the Curves

I did this piece Saturday... It was an allday session... I started with the outline of course, the theme was "rebirth & the past" I wanted to use her natural curves to guide the design....I wanted your eyes to follow her body... Listened to some good music to capture the "emotion"


Once the outline was over I started the shading... Taking my time to get smooth soft shading


I added the color next... I used the music that was playing to picked the colors... Different music puts me in a different zone


After hours of tattooing I can tell it was starting to hurt her.. So I finished her up so she could fly back to Miami and brag about the day she spent at City of Ink
