It was a privilege to do this shrunken head on an artist that I admire and love both his artwork and tattoos. A very talented guy, Dart Daugherty owner of Darts Aloha Tattoos in Austin TX.

Ah, The Deadly Spawn. If you haven't seen this movie do yourself a favor and check it out. Awesome shlocky low budget B-horror like only the 80's could produce. A cult classic.
Love the Jack-o-lantern!
A Metalocalypse inspired totem.My wife's calve. You can find the preliminary sketches here http://monsterlabcreations.blogspot.com/2010/05/original-severed-rockabilly-zombie-chic.html
One of my favorite zombie tattoos. I had alot of fun working on this one.
An oldy but a goody. The Crypt Keeper.
Some Vincent Locke Cannibal Corpse goodness on my clients neck. Pretty Metal! \../ >< \../
Good old Texas Chainsaw Massacre action. Leatherface doing his thing. I took a little artistic license and added more blood to the blade and his apron. This client came to me with a workable but pretty beat outline of this image. I would have recommended that this image be placed on a part of the body more conducive to the design. As it was, the blade of the chainsaw wraps around his ankle so I had to work with it.

Cthulhu half-sleeve

Free-hand half-sleeve of the ancient one. It was done over three or four sessions, I'm not sure to be honest. I'm a big fan of Lovecraft, tentacles/cephalopods, monsters, and horror so this tattoo was a pleasure! I want to do more Lovecraftian creatures and such.

Drawn on with colored sharpies.
Outline.

Completed!

Momento Mori

Heres a little carving I did in some bass wood. I think I'm going to make resin casts of it, sort of mass produce and sell it. Painted of course. Its about 7 x 3.5 in.
