from @londonreese - My take on the infamous #ouroboros on a rad girl who sat like a gangster all damn day. This was a really fun piece to do. I always love doing more illustrative work like this so keep these ideas coming.

• THUG LIFE • finished up this Disney villains sleeve on a rad lady with good taste in beer and bad guys. This is mostly healed, here. Completely freehand/drawn on with markers and pens. I had to work around some existing script on her forearm and there's a big cover up on her inner bicep. This thing was really fun to do and done in just 5 months. Kudos to her commitment to a quick completion. Yes, Hook has a Mickey face tattoo. Thanks for watching.

This memorial dog portrait is of Shiba, a black chow chow. This is part of a full sleeve I'm working on. These dogs are really dark and quite fluffy so this was fun challenge for me. I love doing animal portraits and would love to do more. Send your ideas our way.

So stoked to add this freehand shark to a half sleeve I started a couple years ago on a really nice dude from Pennsylvania. I love tattooing in this style and drawing it all with markers. Thanks for looking. Here's a great week, ahead! Check out more work at and follow my new studio @theblacklanternoc located at the beach in Orange County, CA. My crew is unreal. Can't wait to meet some new friends and see some familiar faces. @theblacklanternoc #theblacklantern #theblacklanternoc #londonreese #deathless #freehand #freehandtattoo #shark #sharktattoo #newschool #sanjosesharks #sealifetattoo #newschooltattoo #danapoint #oc #orangecounty (at Dana Point Lantern District)

I feel so privileged to say that my brand new tattoo studio is now open and ready for business! It has been a dream of mine for many moons and I'm so proud that it is now real. We are in a beautiful beach community called Dana Point. We are right next to the pacific ocean, just off PCH, in Orange County, California. It is 30 minutes from Disneyland and an hour south of Los Angeles. I am honored to have the incomparable, world traveling, multi-award winning, Ink Master; Mr. @Joshwoods and the talented rising star, @seanhalltattoo, working alongside me. These guys are the real deal. They both picked up and moved from their homes to join me in his venture and are killing it! Check them out and book with them!! We also have space for any traveling friends who want to do a guest spot. Come by the shop, visit the website, and follow us @theblacklanternoc @theblacklanternoc @theblacklanternoc @theblacklanternoc @theblacklanternoc #danapoint #tattoo #oc #tattooartist #joshwoods #joshwoodstattoo #seanhall #seanhalltattoo #londonreese #theblacklantern #theblacklanternoc #tattoos #orangecounty
