Charles’ dad is having an art opening tonight at the Mason Murer Fine Art Gallery. Charles comes from a long line of painters, his dad is an incredible artist and a great teacher. If you have time to check out the show it will be well worth it. OYT

Geisha half sleeve by Matt Greenhalgh

Had lots of fun with this tattoo for Michelle, great to tattoo people from the neighborhood.

Henri Rousseau sleeve

Henri Rousseau was a French Post-Impressionist painter. Travis wanted to do a sleeve based on some of his art work. It really translated into a great tattoo. Travis has some of my first tattoos and I was honored to do this sleeve on him with some more years behind me now. I’m posting this as an outline because it’s going to be a while before it’s done and i’m real siked on it. Travis was playing a show in town with his band This Is Hell. My husband had to drive him to the show and got him there 5 mins before he had to play, and after 4 hours of getting tattooed. Hopefully with some more tours and some trips to work up in NYC we can get this done sooner than later.Check out This Is Hell while they are on tour. danielle

fox and birds

I finished this tattoo a while ago but haven’t posted it because I was waiting to get a healed photo. Well it being some time I can’t wait any longer. This really sweet vegan girl Scarlet Fox (hence the fox tattoo) tracked me down because she was looking for a vegan tattoo artist. I’ve been vegan for 15 years and over that time have made my own ink when a vegan option was not as available as it it now. Scarlet does not live in Atlanta so it’s been difficult to catch back up with her and get a new photo. It’s a little harder to work with someone out of town, but this worked out perfect the drawing was exactly what she was looking for. Not in every case, but having input that is different than you would normally draw can add a new dynamic to your tattoo . Scarlet was really interested in having the negative space birds in the purple clouds, something that works but I don’t just draw unless asked. I love how this tattoo came out and I love talking about vegan food while i’m tattooing. I never push my lifestyle on people, but I do like to let people know about veganism when they are open to listening. Feel free to check out this site if you have some questions, and always feel free to ask me where to get some good vegan food. Danielle
