Linework for this portrait on Tony. His wife loves dragonflies, so we incorporated dragonflies and waterlilies along with a lovely gilded frame into her portrait.
This is his first tattoo! Way to go, Tony!
Finished kakapo on Murray!
Love these flightless land parrots. If you don’t know what they are, google them!

Pretty tattoo Melanie finished a few weeks ago! All in soft grey/muted colors. This one turned out lovely! Was battling shine in the photos (tattooers’ worst enemy in pictures), but hopefully between the three you can get a sense of it!
Hooray! Our new website is up and rolling; SO excited to have the old one replaced. This one’s all shiny and fancy and nice…
We’ll be making some tweaks and fine-tuning over the next month, but for now it stands! Notice the new featured video area at the bottom of the home page! You can watch a video featuring one of Melanie’s really amazing clients! We’ll be posting new videos monthly.
Will somebody break a bottle of champagne on your computer to christen our website? I would, but I don’t have any champagne.
