Had a really great time adding color in the skull and cherry blossoms on Chris Bryant’s lower leg last month while guesting at Lethe Tattoo! Chris has been a client for nearly 20 years now—we’ve done both his legs from the hip down and I can’t wait to finish the other side of this piece. Thanks again, Chris! Next time we will do karaoke for sure! 💀✨

Had a great time finishing up Ryan’s two session heart coverup the other day at Exquisite Co**se Tattoo & Hair! Ryan wanted a heart with flowers to represent each of his twin daughters. Swipe through to see the process of his coverup! Always happy to take on projects like this, large or small. Thanks again, Ryan! 🫀✨

Hang Tran (Hāng) 🖤🦇✨ and I are super excited to once again have the amazingly talented Divya Anantharaman (Divya Anantharaman - Gotham Taxidermy) visiting us for two days of classes November 14th and 15th at Exquisite Co**se Tattoo & Hair! Divya is NYC’s premiere taxidermist—an award winning licensed professional preserving animals with honor and compassion for museums and other collectors.

We will be hosting a Rat Skeleton Articulation class on November 14th, followed by a Death’s Head Hawkmoth Preparation class on November 15th. Classes are hands-on and designed to accommodate absolute beginners in an inclusive, welcoming environment. Students will be learning proven professional techniques that Divya has developed and modified over the past decade, with close guidance and individual attention. In both classes students will create unique artistic environments for their specimens inside of a beautiful dome display.

I finished this cool crane cover-up for Jenny a while ago, but somehow didn’t post the end product. The dot work was super fun, and I love the openness of the final design and the shape it creates on her arm. I am always happy to take on new cover-up projects, large or small. Swipe through to see before and after pics and a video of the final look. Thanks again, Jenny! I appreciate the trust! 🐦✨

I’ve been working on updating our website the last week and realized I never posted the final session of Jessie Saylor‘s Blue Ringed Octopus coverup. I love how this piece turned out and I am always happy to take on more coverup work. Swipe through the pics to see before and after. Thanks again, Jessie! I hope you are doing great! 🐙✨

I am super excited to share pics of Eric Loyer’s multi-coverup sleeve totally healed and settled! We took these healed pics a few months ago and I wanted to include before/after pics as well. Coverups are a unique challenge in tattooing, and I am always happy to help when a client needs a change.

It’s been a real pleasure getting to know Eric over the course of his piece and his sleeve is definitely one of my fave recent pieces. Thanks again, Eric! 💀✨

Had a good first color session on the Cthulhu cover for the other day at ! The early stages of a coverup like this always look a little crazy, but it helps having a solid plan. Definitely looking forward to doing more soon. Thanhs again, Ryan! Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn! 🐙✨
