Futureteller Tattoo: the work of Gifford Kasen

Another sleeve in the books. We had tattooed a couple other pieces from my chrome roses designs on Sydney and she decided to take the concept into an entire sleeve. Keeping it abstract while still having moments of form. This was a fun project to balance textures and shapes land creating flow within large fields of color. Thanks Sydney for such a fun idea and being a great client!

Meching out Ramon’s Arm. He gave me free reign on his lower, the only guidelines were to make it look cool! We’re both pretty stoked so far and can’t wait to get back into it next time!

Two session abstract blackwork x biomech piece. This is part of a larger collection of work the client has been collecting to create a whole body aesthetic, while not doing whole body coverage. The entire body concept started as a big rework coverup, and while there is only minimal coverup work in this part of the piece, it’s always a rewarding challenge taking existing tattoos and making them into something fresh that the client is proud to wear. I’m excited to share the whole project once we get some healed photos!
was nice enough to give me a set of their inks and were used exclusively on this piece, easy to use, punchy darks, healed nice so I’m a fan!

Added some bio organic armor around this old skull tattoo (not by me). This was a fun challenge incorporating the existing piece as well as working over a good amount of scar tissue. Hats off to this client for sitting through some pretty tough spots and making the trip to both Chicago at and Milwaukee to get this piece finished! Now booking for both studios

Blue porcelain dragon and floral sleeve. Super fun project. Done over 4 sessions this last year. Most is healed and settled, some part up to a yeah. Used blues and they were super saturated, easy to pack in. Great viscosity as well which Is my usual hang up when lining with color. Thanks for making a great ink. I’ve been getting more dragon requests the last couple years and I am stoked on that! Keep them coming.

A couple pieces from my blackwork design sheet. So happy somebody finally grabbed some of these, and got them at a pretty good size! We’ve been working on a few pretty large coverups on this client, which are usually multi session pieces with a fair amount of planning, so it was particularly fun for both him and I to get a few larger pieces knocked out in an afternoon, no coverups to worry about. I’ve got some more ideas like these in my highlights and can design to your tastes if you like this style.

A collection of smaller pieces done at the recent flash day at Logan Square Tattoo. I love tattooing and am happy to do work large and small!
