Graven Image Tattoo

Got to put in some color on this one. Still needs more background details for behind the skull on the upper arm. Mikal flies in from L.A. Thanks Mikal!

Finalizing the layers on Nate's arm. Getting close on this one.

John flew in for another epic session on his full body suit. We started off doing sort-of tribute to the movie The Thing and has now turned into a tribute to all out insanity. More layers, more fun! This dude's a rock - 2 days..12 hours total!

Got to work more on Jason's sleeve, still in progress!

It's that time where I'm finishing up some cool pieces and I have time to start a couple new projects!! Submit your best ideas and we will get back to you with more information. Please fill our your application here: www.gravenimagetattoo.com/application I am looking forward to seeing your submissions... Thanks everyone!! See more

More progress on Teddy's body suit. Wanted to go more biomech in this leg. Decided to change the color palette to match the other leg.

The photo was sent in --but this tattoo was more difficult to keep and not cover up. Fixed the bad line-work and added color to this Peruvian Tumi knife.

Scott wanted a Giger-esque biomechanical sleeve. All of this was done freehand.

Added more layers of color and detail to this dragon tattoo.

Don't really do color portraits. Color Portrait of Peter Capaldi as the Doctor in this Dr. Who sleeve in progress. Reference was taken from a screenshot with the Mondasion Cybermen. #drwho

Matt's sleeve is of Shub Niggurath from an H.P. Lovecraft story. This is also known as ''the black goat of the forest with a thousand young''

Almost finished with Chuck's diver tattoo.

Check out the colors added to Joe's arm- in progress
