Not the best but a cherished memorial nonetheless. Bradley cruisin'. The blue bowtie in the grille is the only color other than black and white in any of my tats.

Last week, a good friend of mine passed away. He was the type to give the shirt off his back, vibrantly full of life. He was always the life of the party. Rode his Harley 1100 miles home to camp with us for the weekend on a moments notice. He had a ridiculous tattoo, a large tramp stamp that read "Mama Tried" (Merle Haggard, for those not familiar). It was so ridiculous, but it described him and his crazy life so perfectly. He even got arrested later in the day he got the ink.
Yesterday myself and a friend decided to get the same one to remember him by (although not in the same location)
Ride on my friend.

Good friends are worth as much as any family mang. I lost a great friend to the C two years ago, just before I took him and his son on a motor home tour with all of our wives to Michigan's UP and hit many fishing spots along the way... I was thinking of a tat for him but what? some day it will hit me but he was a Masonry contractor so maybe "thick as a brick"
 
A couple here.

My first big one, grim reaper riding skeleton bike outta the graveyard. I love the way it came out 70s style instead of clean traditional lines.

Then I added cemetery gates (cue the Pantera lol) stone wall and some more grave stones.

My tribute to Cliff Burton, I've played bass for 25 some years and he's why I started.

Added this underneath it, the crypt keeper from Tales From The Crypt.

A couple of inner wrist jobs. I just got the heart after 20 years in fire/EMS and now as an RN. Also when i worked in tissue donation I surgically removed about 150 hearts from cadaver donors so the anatomy sticks with me.

Picked up some fresh ink over the weekend...
One for my Shop Supervisor that passed away last Thanksgiving.

I was initially going for just a black/gray paw print, but my gunslinger suggested shading it in Rusty's coat colors. I like it much better ;)

And this one because I like the quote, had a few spare bucks, and had some free space to fill.

Cross was my first. Got it while visiting my uncle in Hawaii. The second was a few years later. Revelation 1:8 with the alpha and omega symbol. I'm due for some more, but my extra monies have all been going towards motorcycle stuff
 
Here are two pieces I did on myself. I work out of a shop here in NYC Sunnyside Tattoo

My favorite part of the most recent. Twisted pine where the inner branches form the street map of where we named our oldest boy. Winds through a previous moan labe (from the actual monument, not your truck bumper sticker) that I got while my brothers awful ex was leaving. Means more than keeping guns if you ask me.

Well, I so much disliked the faked line on my forearm that I had it lasered and redone by another artist. I really like it, now!
