Boy/Bear Tattoo by Sean Adams

“This tattoo is based on a Kiowa story explaining the creation of Bear Butte and the Pleiades constellation.  In the story, a boy is chasing his 7 sisters pretending to be a bear when he is suddenly transformed into one.  The bear chases the seven sisters onto a stump, which grew higher and higher, lifting them into the sky.  The scoring on the sides of the land formation are explained by the bears claws as he tried to reach the girls.  The story was really interesting and it was a lot of fun to depict the bear and boy’s characters!”

Rook Half Sleeve by Heath Rave

This is a half-sleeve based on the card game Rook. As far as the rules
and details, well, you got me, but I know this much. It requires 4
players, hence the the 3 extra birds on the branches. Also in the game
you can “shoot the moon”, so we threw a big ‘ol moon up in the sky
and apparently you pull the cards from a “nest”, and the 1 is actually
what the 1 card looks like in the game. Great story and fun tattoo.

Work in Progress by Sean Adams

Check out this work in progress by Sean Adams.

“The tattoo is a sleeve in progress on a fellow named Kevin.  We’ve been working on it in fairly modular segments, which is a little unusual for how I would lay out a sleeve, but it’s coming along well.  What we’ve done so far has been three sessions, the longest of them being around 7 hours.  Thankfully he sits like a champ, and has definitely earned this tattoo!”- Sean Adams.
