Spent the weekend at Cincinnati Tattoo Arts Festival and had an absolute blast. The show was amazing as usual and we were able to take home a few awards. I took home 1st place Tattoo of the day color, I am stoked and extremely grateful. Cody took home 3rd and 4th place tattoo of the day black and gray on different days, Proud of you man! Shaun Clark sat like I rock and I appreciate you coming to Cincinnati for me. Although the original plan wasn’t a samurai frog, I’m glad thats where I ended up. I also got to do a sweet little Shanks Bakery & Boba logo for Shaun per their agreement. Can’t wait for the next show!

I have some days I want to book (Including tomorrow), Send me a message! Otto Jarvis

What a good weekend here in Cincinnati, had such a good time talking to so many artists and friends that I haven’t seen in so long catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. This is the name of the game tattoo conventions are a must for tattoo artist because they inspire you to be the best possible artist you can be; and allow you to learn from other tattooers, and sometimes inspire others to be the best they can be. I love what I do and I love seeing people happy with their new tattoos!!! Also so proud of Otto Jarvis for bringing home his first 1st place award for best color of day on Sat which is huge! Shout out to Breanna D**e for helping all weekend much appreciated.

I won best of day 3rd yesterday with my native woman and 4th best of day today with my ghost face. If I had a bit more time on my color piece I feel we would have had a good chance, but either way I put my soul into my work and I love this s**t!! Thanks for looking everyone and happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there including mine without her I would never be here she raised the man I am !!!! Cincinnati Tattoo Arts Festival

Tattoo by Cody

Jesus Christ.

I had faith in this tattoo and I felt an abundance of calmness and clarity while tattooing this portrait.
My new friend traveled from Virginia for this piece. Two days on this project maybe 5 hours a day. Please click on image to see the full photo. Allowing myself to slow down is the best decision I have ever made. Thanks so much everyone. Have a great day, and remember to find the good in everyone and forgive those who have hurt you in the past. We all need a little love right now with this world we live in. Done with
