coop’s new tattoo

coop has a lot of great tattoos. not all starting with great ideas but we have worked it out and come up with the designs we are both proud of. today i completely ignored what he wanted to get. not on purpose, but i was really happy with what i drew up for him, and talked him into doing it the way i had drawn it. i feel really lucky to have clients that are trusting of my vision. he could have said no. my drawings are not always the way people want their tattoo to look like, which i’m completely fine with. i will re draw or reschedule an appointment to give everyone what they want, but as trusting as coop is with me it’s the same on my side. i know that it’s not his first tattoo and that i can be really honest with him. that really comes with people getting tattooed regularly and it’s really nice to have that type of relationship. i hope coop will continue to come back even though he is moving away soon. it’s always a good hang. thanks! danielle

I like to do these kind of tattoos also. by Matt Greenhalgh

I did this tattoo for my buddy Geoff from Savannah. Geoff is a great guy and we always have fun when he comes through. There never seems to be enough time to hang out, but we get some time in while working, plus he always brings Big Ben and that’s about as good as it gets. Thanks Geoff and Ben, can’t wait for your next visit.

gift certificates

If you are still looking for a last minute gift idea we have gift certificates available up till christmas eve. They are good up to one year from the date bought, and good for any artist at the shop or you can specify the artist you would like. We have had a lot of people buy them for their friends they know are already working on something to help put a little bit towards their next session. You can buy they for any amount starting at $10. The shop will be closed only on christmas day, and back open on sunday at 1pm. Thanks for another great year. Only You Tattoo

humming bird

This tattoo is on our good friend Jennifer. I love this tattoo, unfortunately each one of the humming birds represents a pet of hers that has passed away over the years. So it’s a memorial with out being obvious. The tattoo on her ribs was the first humming bird, and is from a drawing that Thomas Woodruff did just for her, it was an honor to tattoo it being a big fan of his work. After I finished that tattoo Jennifer actually asked him to send me one of his books. Jennifer Luce is an amazing accountant, if she isn’t your accountant already you need to contact her as soon as possible, she is a busy lady. Danielle 

Elijah’s Dragon by Matt Greenhalgh

I just finished this Dragon on Elijah the other day. We ended up working for pretty much 8 hours straight and he sat there like nothing was happening. I still cant believe how well he sat for this last session. I’m so excited to see this project finished really happy with the finished tattoo. Elijah comes up from Destin Florida to get tattooed so some times it’s a while between sessions. I’ve said it before, i’m always grateful to my clients, but when someone makes a 7 hour drive and books a hotel room in order to get tattooed, it makes me want to do all i can to exceed their expectations. Thanks Elijah its been great working on theses tattoos for you over the past few years. Can’t wait to see whats next.
