Devil Pin-up
Add comment December 18th, 2007
So here is my devil pin-up I did. I’m very happy with the outcome and so is he. He is completely stoked. The only problem I have is the pic doesn’t let it show how good it is. I had a glare from above so I had to take a pic of the tattoo on my tri-pod with it facing down slightly at an angle. The other problem is he is a big guy and whenever he turned it distorted the body and the face a little. The gray wash is still settling and I will have to take a pic again when it’s all smoothed out from no more blood. The dark spots are where the blood is poking out still but this is going to be as smooth after it’s healed. The ribs are actually subtle but they will mellow out when the irritation goes away and it stops bleeding. He is getting an angel mirroring it in a couple of weeks and I’ll take a pic of it completed to show. I need to get a photo trade going with someone to document my good stuff.
If only photographers weren’t flakey when it came to trades.
This Machine is 100% Death Proof…

…but to get the benefits of it you have to be sitting where I am.
This is a tattoo machine I had made by a friend of mine who lives and tattoos in South Beach Florida. This is my second installment of his custom made machines. I told him I needed a liner and he had a set Day of the Dead coils he put on another machine. I said thoses are cool lets set up a machine around that Idea.
If I could I would have had the set but I got this so that’s going to have to do. So the machine is attribute to Diaz de Los Muertos. It has the Madonna coils, coins to pay the boatman and a skull contact point. I know this doesn’t matter to the civilian but this is the fastest liner I have ever used with perfect lining. A tattoo that would have taken me 20 minutes was done in 10 so here it is I hope everyone can appreciate it as an art piece as well as a tool.
