I recently got to add this very cool to my cousin Grace’s existing that I did last year. When she looked in the mirror afterwards she asked her sister, my cousin Emma, if the wings were flying. Emma said, “I think so, what do you think,Steve?” So I shot the video to show her, and YES, they are flying!👍🏻😎🪽Super Fun! Thanks Ladies!!☺️💖 ❤️❤️❤️

Bob recently did this cool ancient and . It’s in a tricky area to work on, especially with all the tight details in each item, but he did a great job!😎🦉

This was fun! 😃💐A cover-up of a cover-up!😬 Our pal Tammy came in wanting to “do something with the thing my kids call the Owl Tattoo!”🤣 Sadly the first attempt in 2014 by someone else was a disaster! She said it looked mushy in less than 2 years!😳 I added more flowers to create a wreath and rebuilt the cross and wings. Mineral based powdered pigments and a bit more skill…it’ll stand the test of time now.👍🏻😉 Thanks for looking.😊

Here’s a true classic, done by our artist Bob Schenk with tattoo machines built by Juan Puente. Straight from an original sheet of flash drawn and painted by Bert Grimm and Bob Shaw for their shop on 22 Chestnut Place in Long Beach, California in the 1960’s. I bought this from tattooer Eric Maaske (RIP) via in 1997 right before we left San Diego and opened here in Iowa. Eric said that over a weekend Grimm and Shaw painted up 100 sheets for their new shop, and this is number 32. I’d love to see some of the other ones!👍🏻😎 Thanks for looking.😊

Today I met and tattooed fellow swabby “Mo”!😊He served aboard the aircraft carrier USS Coral Sea, and several other duty stations for seven years. In 1961 at age 18 he walked into a shop on The Pike in Long Beach California, and got a really nice for $5. He said it took about 20 minutes, and even though it’s 6 years older than me I think it still looks great! 👍🏻 🙂He had some red put back in around 1971, and today we added his wife’s name and hit the red again. I told him I really liked the patina and once the new red is healed it will all look good just the way it is.😊He noticed the classic print so we took a closer look, and wouldn’t you know…THERE’S HIS ROSE!!! 😃🌹We had a great time swapping sailor stories!🫡⚓️🇺🇸 (I added the photo of East Coast tattooer August Coleman at the end just because I pictured it in my mind while he was telling me his story.😊)

I did this cool on our buddy Ryan yesterday. It’s a tribute to his parents. His dad had a similar tattoo on his forearm done in the 70’s so I used it as a starting point, then customized this for him. Super Fun!😎💖🐍🗡️🍎

This week I had the honor to add these nearly to the awesome collections of our good friends Nate and Susan. Celtic designs go WAY back in history, and have been found on ancient stones all over Scotland and Ireland. They regularly travel there to walk the old trails and soak in the culture. Always a great time hearing about their adventures! I added their drawings to my wall where I have a few other matching tattoos.😊Thanks guys, and thank you for looking.😎💖☘️💚
