Most of you know that I tattoo full time and have been doing this for about 15 years or so. And I have owned my own shop for 10. I have been branching out and created Corvid Studios. I'm not planning on giving up my "day job", Rather I am using this venue to feed my own artistic needs so that I don't burn out. It seems to me from my conversations that people don't understand the high burnout rate for tattoo artists. No its not like coloring in a coloring book all day (I've actually heard this from customers). Its incredibly physically and mentally challenging. One of the things I enjoy is when my tattoo art crosses over to my personal artwork. Its like the planets align for a brief period of time. Below are two projects. One is a tattoo which is sparking influence on my skull mandala project, the other is an upcoming project that I am showing to a client this weekend in hopes she will want to get it tattooed.
