Another practice tattoo, this one on my right upper leg....

I just completed the preliminary line work on this tattoo on my right leg. The image is from a drawing I did many months ago and posted here.







This is a detailed ornate skull design based on a drawing by Leonardo DaVinci, treated with a 'day-of-the-dead' sugar skull style of decorative line work. I completed the line work today in under three hours, and I am extremely pleased with the progress I have made with my tattoo lining work. I will be adding thicker lines to some areas, and then shading as well, and perhaps some colour at some point. Compare this to the skull I tattooed on my left leg some time ago:











Well, there really is no comparison. I hope this will give those of you seeking a tattoo an idea of how far my skill has come in the past few months. Although I am fully aware of how much I have to learn, I am feeling more and more confident, and look forward to doing more and more 'real' tattoos for clients in the coming months and years...









Thanks again and always to Sean Bergstrom of Vancouver Island Tattoos for his patient tutelage the last little while.







Here is the latest version with more shading.....

Latest 'Scorpio' tattoo design from 'Elemental Tattoos' !

Just did this tattoo design for a friend of a friend. She asked for a SCORPIO design that would be a little more feminine than the norm, not some tough looking biker style thing. she also wanted a cross with the words "God's Never Later" which you can see on the second version....

Elemental Tattoos officially opened for business!

Well, the time has finally come! I have been practicing for many months now, I recently graduated from grapefruits to human flesh, and I have completed a couple of very well executed tattoos, that you can look at here. I am now confident that I can do a very professional job for anyone wanting a tattoo, HOWEVER, I am going to be starting with much simpler designs, lettering, symbols, and smaller pieces. If you are looking for a very large or complex tattoo, please feel free to contact me with design ideas, and I will do top notch design work for you and keep you posted as my skill level increases and I eventually am ready for the larger more complex tattoos. This should be relatively soon at the rate I am learning and improving my skill as a tattooist. My promise to ALL my clients is that the work will be expertly executed, and with the utmost attention to sterile and healthy working techniques. I will not tackle anything that I do not feel 100% ready to do PERFECTLY. So if your tattoo idea is extremely ambitious, please be patient and I will get to it when my skill level and confidence is exactly where it needs to be.

My most recent work was the 'Damaged Goods' tattoo you see below, for my dear friend Wilson. The work flowed smoothly, and the precision and details are clean and as close to perfect as possible. This was the tattoo that made me realize I am ready to start working professionally. In the next few weeks I will be adding a great deal of equipment to my inventory, new tips, inks, needles, shaders, and autoclave etc. So the work will be getting more sophisticated very quickly. Drop me a line at directly if you want me to get to work on a tattoo design for you.



My pricing will be extremely fair, both for designs and final tattoo execution. I will price each individual job to suit the client, so you can expect to pay far less than you might at a typical tattoo shop. So let the creative fun begin! I look forward to hearing from you and working with you to create a tattoo that will live on you and in you, and be a great source of pride and inspiration for a lifetime!
