some gay tattoos on some queers. of course you love 'em.

dude! good work!

[obsessionsketch]

you've moved to Portland, I see... I hope it's awesome over there for you, eventually. And if you come visit through SF and want some new ink, I'd be honored to do it.

[lofiordie]

its getting better- i just gotta find a damn job. i'll be coming through sf in march for a short amount of time- how much would you charge for something small?

[obsessionsketch]

$50. No tip expected ;).

Well now... if I'm ever in CA again, maybe a trip up north is warranted - I'm itching for some new ink, and I like what I see! :)

[obsessionsketch]

well, that would be lovely, and an honor. Besides, if you are ever in CA again, ink or no ink, San Francisco needs to see you.

[yrcomplacency]

Excellent. I haven't been in SF since... 2oo4? But before this I used to live in Berkeley. Would be nice to see how it's all changed (or not) and of course, meet & hang with you.

I'm glad you mentioned cover work in this entry, cos for some years I have been contemplating a full back piece, covering a medium size that's already there, and generally being awesome. Up for it? We can exchange photos & maybe you could give me a rough estimate of time and cost.

[obsessionsketch]

It's all different. All the time. Even from the time I used to visit to the time I moved here to now. I s'pose that's the way the cookie crumbles. Or life does.

As far as your back piece goes, if you wanted me to do it, it would be my first. I am at the end of my apprenticeship, only a few hundred tattoos under my belt, and what I have uncovered is that my strength is in my own style. Which is not traditional at all. More drawing and painting-like. Hard to describe, but it feels like the images come out of the skin when I chisel at it a little bit, not that I put them there. I have a lot more work to show for you to see what I mean, but our website has been fucked for a while so I have not been able to upload.

And of course, whether or not you have me do it, I am curious to see what you got, what you want instead, and think about how I would work it to do the piece.
