I couldn’t decide which one of the post I posted both. I’ve been using the back room with a black background, but sometimes I feel like it doesn’t capture the soft gray, but it makes it more dynamic. @preyingmantistattoo @preyingmantiskipling #coloradotattooartist #blackandgreytattoo #realistictattoo #portraittattoo #besttattoo
This song from offspring reminds me of my mom, she passed when I was eight. I still feel like I have a relationship with her and I feel she visits me from time to time.  I feel she visited me today when I was doing this tattoo when this song played , all the hair on my body lifted and I knew it was her. @preyingmantiskipling @preyingmantistattoo #mothermarytattoo #virginmarytattoo #blackandgreytattoo #realistictattooartist #besttattoo

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
This is a start of a full sleeve! #aliceinwonderland #madhattertattoo
Tattooed my clients cousin he recently passed away. He totally paid a visit as I was tattooing her. Something was  these crazy goosebumps #portraittattoo #blackandgreytattoo #realistictattoo #besttattoo #coloradotattooartist

Here’s a start to a full leg sleeve. I felt like I had to start with al Capone. #alcaponetattoo #portraittattoo #realistictattoo #besttattoo #realismtattoos @preyingmantistattoo @preyingmantiskipling

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
