Symbols "Tattoo"

This was a fun piece to do...he came in with a few symbols... But yall know I can't do a plan ole tattoo so I had to think of a design using all these symbols plus an eye of rah


I smoked one with Tuki... Talked about future business plans....while the other side of my brain focused on designing the tattoo... I always think about art and business at the sametime... But I'm working on mastering each one (art & business) at different times..to balance both sides of my being


I pulled out the sharpie markers after the "session" with Tuki... And the design came to me with ease.... I wanted to use little color...bold clean outline...and soft shading... This was his first tattoo so I wanted to be easy on him...


This is what it looked like after it was done....thanks bruh it was an honor.

UPS Sucks!

Last week some art I bought was sent to COI by UPS.... I really wish they cared about their customers stuff.... I spent good money on this piece and they broke 3 pieces off of it....I will fix it but damnnnn.... When I called them.. they said "You can send it back" I waited 2 weeks to get it and they act like I can just get another one....oh well at less it came.... Can't complain at less it didn't get lose... That's the positive side.... Just makes me wish I had my own delivery company.... Customer service is and will always be #1 in my books..... UPS sucks!
