Street tattoos

January 19th, 2012

Spitfire Girl and I ran off to a little island in Mexico for a few days for some much needed r&r after the hectic holiday season. I saw this guy on the beach with some pretty amazing tattoos. The backwards Jesus and the cartoon of his kid are really cool. I love the folky amateur stuff when people are super connected with the art.

A loyal customer sent in some Of my old A1 machine frames for a 10 year rebuild. It was great to see how they had weathered with years of use.
