Incognito Tattoo

I have been tattooing Nicole for years, she has some of my favorite work of late. Nicole has the large koi and lotuses on her back and the really large Roman statue head and butterflys on her thigh and ribs. Nicole is an avid birder and this time we decided on a Audubon print for her arm. We lined and shaded it in one site and the color and background is to follow. I am really stoked on how the tattoo is coming along so far. I love doing this style of tattoo.

Was a great success, we all had a great time at INK and IRON and the days after were a whirlwind of tattoo activity. Adrian got a really cool bat and I got a great big coverup on my leg. Deno works so fast and furious it’s inspirational to see him go. Here are a few shots from the trip. We took Deno and Philipe to our favorite Cuban bakery and coffee shop in Silverlake, the famed Cafe Tropical. Deno couldn’t help himself .

As of July 1st Spencer will no longer be working at Incognito. He is making the move down south behind the Orange Curtain to work at the world famous Good Time Charlie’s Tattoo Land in Anaheim. We are all sad to see him go and wish him the best on this new tattoo adventure. All customers should contact Spencer through his email address JamesSpencerBriggs@gmail.com

Here is just a taste of what has been going on at the shop. Kenz is getting this great bird and picture frame tattoo. She found me through the Spitfire Girl and our friends at Bobbie. I am really excited about how this is progressing. 

Just a fun little name to throw in there. my longtime customer Chris and his wife stopped in to get a little name for their new boy.

Jon is another great guy. I really enjoy tattooing him. This was the funnest octopus I have done in years, we have to color the octopus and add some more background  and this one is in the bag. What’s next Jon? The other arm?

I started this skull snake tattoo on Jose a long time ago, we finally got him back in to get it all finished up. This is the only photo that was presentable, his arm was in various stages of healing, not a great time for photos. Over all I am really glad we got it done. I am excited to start on some new projects for Jose, we are finishing off his other sleeve and there is talk of a back piece. We shall see.

Sara came if for a jelly fish half sleeve inspired by Ernst Haeckel, the jelly fish will be posted in gallery pages, buy we did this awesome little starfish yesterday, I was really excited about reproducing all the crazy little details in a way that would work well in a tattoo.
