Mike got this fish lady this the other day, I tattoo him once sometimes twice a week and he always wants something cool.

Here’s a bunch of new ones. I’ve been traveling a lot and neglecting this blog, I’ll be updating more soon.

I did this wolf dressed as a man on a young lady in San Francisco this weekend. I’ve tattooed this subject before so it was a fun challenge to make this one stand out from the last. Not the easiest spot to photograph but you get the idea. I really enjoyed this convention and can’t wait to go back and see everyone next year!

Bay Area Convention

I’ll be tattooing at the Bay Area convention at the SFO Hyatt October 20th-23rd. Email RAFTERYTATTOO@GMAIL.COM for appointments or find me at the Dardevil/FunCity Booth. See you there!

Here’s a couple of the tattoos I did at the London convention. The buildings were something I saw walking by the river one morning. Looks like the end of the world.
