I tattooed this folky rose the other day and painted a new sheet of flash for the studio as well. I have started another sheet that will be done soon unless it gets to hot to do anything again, last week nearly killed me.
thank you for looking

No I don’t really want to die
I only want to die in your eyes
I’m still here below the chandelier
where they always used to read us our rights
I want to wander through the night
as a figure in the distance even to my own eye
Have you ever rented a room
have you ever even rented a room?
An anchor lets you see the river move
but now that your evil dreams came true
there on your face
a row of teeth he’ll come to replace
I know you laughed when I left
but you really only hurt yourself
When you see your curtains move in the wind
you can bet I’m betting against you again
Cause I’m a man who has a wife who has a mother
who married one but she loved another
You’re a tower without the bells
you’re a negative wishing well
I should have checked the stable door
for the name of the sire and dam
you were always at the dogtrack
with your brother and all his friends
Chalk lines around my body
like the shoarline of a lake
You’re laughter made me nervous
it made your body shake to hard
Now there’s a lot of things that I’m gonna miss
like thunder down country and the way water drips
when you’re running for the door in the rain
read the metro section…see my name
No I didn’t really want to die
I only wanted to die in your eyes
Grant me one last wish
Life should mean a lot less than this

i have not posted in a little while, here are a few things that i have been working on. the 2 headed eagle is a healed picture in case you were wondering , which i doubt you were.
i was excited to do this black flag “my war” tattoo. i have a my war tattoo from years ago. its important to have at least 1 black flag tattoo. at least i thought so…i have 3.
here are a few new ones. i did the man and lady the other day, it is my favorite tattoo i have done in some time. i love doing super raw and pure folk style tattooing. it is the strongest imagery in my eyes. i love it.
the wolf is on Mr. Jonathan’s neck. he has the crow with cross bones on the other side. we knocked it out yesterday in a short time, which is great for both him and i. his neck hurt and so did my poor back.
lastly we have a hand holding some poppy’s, i really like this tattoo, as it has colors that i would not usually use…okay well one. orange.
thank you for looking as usual.

birds …lots of birds ,tattooing a few of them lately ….i am getting ready to go to massachusetts for 2 days in september and i am very excited. i hope the trees will have started to turn .
if you like to read and have ever lived in the country or have ever dreamed about it you should read this book: HILLSIDE HARVEST, by Lansing Christman…. it is wonderful.
