This took me a few days to put these fairings on. It’s like the toughest thing I’ve ever done. There was no instruction video for this specific model and there was no PDF files for instructions on how to put these on, other than just the one panel on the bottom just for servicing! #newfairings #motorcycle #hondacbr600rr

Feel like this portrait, healed pretty good, I’ll probably do a few touchups to it, but not too bad. I did it about 3 weeks ago. This is gonna be a full leg sleeve of gangster stuff. Can’t wait to put the bullet holes and all the other cool stuff in there. #coloradotattooartist #blackandgreytattoo #realistictattoo #besttattoo #portraittattoo

This backpiece I started back in 2020 it’s been healed for two years! I felt like I never really got a good photo or video of this, but I think this one turned out pretty good. #preyingmantistattoo #blackandgreytattoo #realistictattoo #besttattoo #backpiecetattoo piratetattoo #denvertattooartist #lakewoodtattooartist

There’s a tattoo I did three years ago. I haven’t touched it up since seems like it is still holding up pretty good. It looks like it needs a few touchups here and there, but not too bad. ✌️
