I posted on your tree tattoo with hands as roots... need to restate how amazing i think your work is... i have not seen tree tattoos that match your style in detail and depth anywhere else... i was wondering what it might take to commission you for a piece of mine... if ever you travel into nyc for conventions maybe? please let me know, i honestly couldnt express more how interested i am in having a piece done by you.

I always just try to use the person's anatomy to dictate the flow of the tattoo ...muscles and bones and curves ...and I also try to use the least amount of elements possible - ideally only one element and a background. . ..if you have more than one element involved than you have to make them flow and compliment one another in shape and color etc ...or use one 'theme' to unite everything like a strong light source or blood spray or something .... hope that helps, good luck with the project

I am in Utah... I do a few conventions too - I am going to San Antonio, Phoenix and New Orleans...not really close to Ontario at all...if you fly to Utah to get tattooed I would give you a really good deal...

Your black and gray realistic work is amazing. It's remarkable how much attention you devote to the small details, they really make your work something out of the ordinary.

You must be good at drawing trees, now. Haha. Flicking through your gallery I noticed many trees. In fact, when I'm older and I have a bit of money, I've been considering getting a tree like tattoo. A very branchy, rooty tree some where. Looking at your work is inspiring. ^.^

Nice work, dude...
Too bad Utah is all the hell and gone over there.. I might could enjoy having you do something for me.
Really like your black and grey.
