the american version of the very old artform tattoo has changed alot, it still has street shops serving young partiers, bikers and tourists, but there is another side collectors, waiting as much as a year for a artist known throughout the tattoo world and seen on TV and in magazines and spending some large dollars to wear much larger and higher quality pieces than those of the past. as most who have older tattoos know, the machines and inks of today lend themselves to much higher quality work. now dont get me wrong, got my start in a street shop in my hometown of baltimore, love the old traditional work, but dazzled by the new

really not sure why ivas is here, but he surely has some interesting comments

Background info...

I was in Iraq from April 2009 until January 2010 as a Cavalry Scout. Attached to our platoon was a section of Snipers. One of them happened to be a tattoo artist. He used as as canvas for his apprenticeship so when he got home he could try to be promoted to a full time artist. I talked to him about my first tattoo, and American flag and some crossed sabers. Something simple, kinda small to go on my arm or back to see if I wanted more. This is what we ended up with...

Whoops. Total of 24 hours invested. This was started and finished in Iraq. Then I thought... that wasn't so bad, and my right arm looks funny with no ink. I did a lot of reading on American Political Theory, Revolutionary Thought, Constitutional Philosophy etc while I was deployed (made those radio watch shifts go quicker). I read a book that inspired me to take this to an artistic level. After about 18 hours of work I currently have this:

I have another piece to go on the inside of my arm that will parallel the one on my left arm. That and some background and touch-up work are all that's left on it.

The next two are in the design stages... a back piece (probably relating to Ganesha and other more spiritual ideas) and on the left side of my chest (over my pec) a memorial piece for my dad.

Anyway, hope you all like them. I enjoy telling the story and showing them off. True pieces of art that came from a gifted artist.
