Ink Works Tattoo

The new building is finally coming out very nice. It’s great to be able to design and execute my shop design without having to sacrifice my vision. I’ll start posting pics of the new shop soon!

Long night but a productive one

As soon as all this COVID 19 crap passes, I’ll be opened back up downtown ready to tattoo. Thanks for your support.

All healed. Thanks for such a great client/friend. Could ask for a better canvas than those that say here is my idea, now run with it and do your thing.

After 15 years, finally... I get to color this tattoo I lined for my sister YEARS AGO!!!!!

For Kayla’s grandfather, for father’s day. Thank you for your service.

Okay, so let’s start by saying, we are all safe and okay. However, the shop will be closed for a while. The tornado that dropped on the lake took the roof off of the tattoo shop and spread it over highway 59.

I’m out of surgery and 8 tumors lighter. I’m doing alright and already managed to escape the hospital for the trip home with a few new scars. Ready for bed.

Going to be out of the shop today 3/20, I’ve been having bad seizures for the past 12 hours. And I’ll be gone tomorrow 3/21 for oncology appointments in the city.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

For a new client working on a sleeve. Next set coming soon

Another rumor is going around that the shop is permanently closed, due to my (D’Bo) death.
Obviously someone forget to make sure I was available for my funeral.
My apologies for the inconvenience but I assure you that it is ONLY a rumor. Yes f you would like to see for yourself, I’m around.
I am under a new treatment program for my CANCER (not drugs) but I AM still alive and tattooing.
Thank you.

The before and after.

Some super fun fine line work by D’Bo

For my dear friend Dallas. It’s difficult to believe that he has been gone 8 years.

Feels great to be back in the shop after a long holiday! Still doesn’t seem like enough time with my kiddo!

I have 3 tap-out sessions open from cancellations and 2 that haven’t been paid for yet. So if your wanting a SMOKING deal, these are the last 3 of the year! Hit me up if your interested!

Okay people, it’s that time of year and I know you’ve waited patiently.
Tap-Tuesday’s are on sale as of today. Tap-out sessions starting Tuesday 10/16 through 12/18. It’s 500$ per Tap-out, non refundable. This does NOT include the design fee.
Hit me up fast, they sell out in 7-10 days every year and people always get disappointed when they wait until Mid November to try to get one.

The next 5&1/2 hours of my schedule at the shop just opened up. So if you’ve been waiting for a “walk-in” with me, bows your chance.

I freehanded this Koi for a friend. I love to see him come into the shop. He says “I want” and never wants a stencil! Perfect!

Another cover-up for my good friend Patrick Barrett. Thanks again for yet another cool piece of art to do.

Okay, I’ve just had a very large appointment for Saturday 15th reschedule. If your wanting some work done this weekend, I now have a rather large opening. We also have a little time open Friday night! So hit me up before it disappears.

After a seriously crazy morning and a series of events, I now have my entire day open. So if your down for a walk-in (never happens here) I have availability

I’m looking for two licensed artist. Must have a license, portfolio, and at least two years of experience.

Closed for Father’s Day weekend we will be back tuesday afternoon

First off, I’d like to apologize for missing some time at the shop lately. I do value my clients and their time just as much as I value my own time.
I recently had a bad review for not being at the shop twice when I said I would be there.
This is my own fault. I’m a private kind of person and do not just share the information about my cancer or the seizures caused by the tumors in my head.
When Oklahoma spring time weather sets in, our atmosphere is ridiculously unstable. The dramatic rapid barometric pressure changes in our atmosphere leads to an onset of seizures. I cannot predict them. I apologize for wasting people’s time when they show up and I’ve had this happen. I have been running the shop pretty much ALL on my own for months with little exception. I’ve hired two new artists in but they will be here sometime this month. This will prevent the shop having to shut down suddenly. It’s also my fault that people aren’t always called when this happens. I’m not always conscious when the shop gets locked up and closed for the day and even when I am, I completely out of it. (Lights are on but no one is home, kind of out of it) so the people that help me don’t always know what to do.
I’d also like to thank and apologize to the clients/friends that have been the ones to have had to witness this happen and also been the ones who end up looking after me, taking care to lock up the shop for me, and getting me home.
Thanks for being understanding, caring, and good people. I would do the same for you even had you not have had to do this for me. Thank you for putting up with me, you guys are the best.

Thanks for the bad ass piece Jason. I had a blast knocking it out!
