fun little stabber on a super cool lady today! inspired by a tarot card.

What does a rose and dagger tattoo mean?

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:23:30 -0400

if you have one, it means you have good taste in tattoos

How much time in advance do you need to schedule an appointment for a small to medium sized piece?

it’s summertime and that means it’s cancellation season! people want to go swimming and roll around in the dirt, so i have holes here and there. the best way to find out availability is to call me at the shop 503 231 1199. thanks!

hiiiii

i feel like a dork even making this post but WOW i am blown away by how many responses i’ve gotten to a mere mention that i might be in LA! as of right now, i have no concrete plans to visit LA, zero dates in mind. we just have some friends down there and i’d love to check out the city and do some work. if i book a trip down there, I will IMMEDIATELY let you all know because tumblr is the bulk of my client base and you guys RULE!!!! as many of you know i have family in the bay area so california is always a regular destination but so far i’ve never been south of the bay/fresno. i want to visit southern california so bad and if i do plan a trip i will definitely do my best to book a guest spot somewhere. thanks so much to everyone for inquiring!!

Recently a pleasant gentleman in his late 60’s contacted Adam for a small amount of tattoo work. He had 3/4 sleeves on both arms done by Ed Hardy in the 70’s and he wanted them extended to wrist length. Naturally we were all really excited to check them out. I arrived just in time to snap some crappy photos of the end result but he’s coming back for more work soon (He wants to do his back!) and I’m hoping we can get nice photographs of all the work. Total nerd-out!

I sincerely love your work and hope that someday I'll head out there to get tattooed by you or if you ever drop by Chicago in the future <3

i’d LOVE to come to chicago someday!!! i have no idea when i can make it happen, though.

how much do your tats cost? Definitly thinking about gettin one from you

Our shop rate is 120/hr. A black and grey rose on your forearm would probably take 1.5-2 hours, a full color rose in the same spot would probably take 3 hours. the exact same rose, but on your ribs, would probably take 3 or more hours. thanks!

hooray for roses! can’t wait to finish!

i got to do a handful of tattoos while i was up in seattle! sorry i wasn’t able to squeeze more people in, but i am feeling pretty wiped from travel and making art all year long! time to settle in and work on some big tattoos at home! thanks so much to everyone who came to belfry oddities in seattle for my show, thanks for getting tattooed, thanks for being fucking awesome!!! and thanks to jackson street tattoo for having me as a guest artist. i look forward to returning to seattle soon.

Hey there! I am curious about the best way to work on designing a tattoo—do you want me to make an appointment just to discuss the layout, and then a second one to do the work? Or is that something you can do via email? I am local, but across town and transport can sometimes be a challenge. :)

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 13:12:41 -0400

i prefer to make an in-person consultation for tattoos. the number to the shop is 503 231 1199, and i am there weds-sat and sometimes sunday. thanks!

Hey Alice! I started following your food blog and am now so in love with your tattoos and art. I was wondering - have you ever done white ink tattoos? I've read they can heal differently from traditional colors and some artists prefer not to do 'em.

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 13:11:29 -0400

i don’t do white ink tattoos!

SEATTLE!

Last post about my opening in Seattle, I swear! I’m headed up in a few and the opening is TONIGHT at 6 p.m., at Belfry Oddities 309 3rd Ave S Seattle, WA. Hope to see you there! And please keep in mind how much time I spend on the internet if you’re self-conscious about saying hello, it’s fine, WE’RE FINE, WE’RE ALL CHECKING TUMBLR 400 MILLION TIMES A DAY. :D

Hi, I'm 19 and I have a whopping 0 tattoos. But I want them everywhere from my chest to my thighs and everywhere in between. I was wondering which of the areas typically are more painful? And other things to expect?

Thu, 06 Jun 2013 09:50:10 -0400

everyone’s body is different and all tattoos hurt. just relax, take some ibuprofen, and you’ll be fine.

Is your shop able to do apprenticeships?

Thu, 06 Jun 2013 09:49:39 -0400

nope!
