Opposite side arm with Italian saying to match previous work. Once again in lettering any flaw u have will show and lettering will always test any tattooist since every line must be clean and strong. Overall i had strong clean lines again and the font style fit the Italian sayings perfectly. That's where having a strong background in design comes into helping a tattooist do a good job. So thankful that i spent over 20 years working in classic mediums before i got into tattooing.

Zodiac sign


Eternal Ink once again amazed me!!! Another great thing about Eternal Ink is since it's water based u can mix colors really good and get one off shades of colors. A tattoo done right should last 20 to 25 years, with this ink I think they may last longer. A dirty little secret alot of tattoo shops don't want out is they cut ink with water or other things to stretch the ink, but in doing so u don't get that long lasting quality and brightness like u will in this tattoo.
In lettering any flaw u have as a tattooist will show up. In the end I finished with strong, clean lines. The meaning "Only God Can Judge Me" in Italian.

First time i used a magnum shader on the pick. Felt pretty natural and got a good shading, rust effect.


Fixed this tattoo and added names.

First tattoo done in my new studio.
