Big Stinky Apple

Well I survived! What you ask? The worst heat wave New York has had in years. Did I let that slow me down??Kind of. The trip was still a great success  on several levels. I got see some old friends, make new ones and do some great tattoos.

This where I spent most of my time. Thanks again to everyone at Daredevil Tattoo for making me feel very welcomed.

One of the first things I did was tattoo a really good friend of mine Toby. He wanted a zombie viking and I was of course more than happy to provide.

Here is a piece I did on another good friend Angelo. He and Jay are in a great band called Descender.  Google it!

One thing I realized while I was in New York was how many talented tattoo artist are there. I had to bump my work up right next to some of my favorites. This guy was covered in great work from Michelle form Daredevil.

I did get to take some time off and be a tourist. Although with the crazy heat, I didn’t mind being inside. But there was some incredible things to look at in the lower eastside.

The one the only Mike Giant..How did he do this?

Being surrounded by tall buildings and narrow streets you forget where you are sometimes until you look up and see views like this then you remember. Oh yeah I’m in fucking New York!
