This coming April marks my 10th year as a professional tattoo artist. It has definitely been a journey with many ups and downs but I wouldn’t change anything that has happened because the lessons that I learned on the way are priceless. This first image is from my first year of tattooing and then some of my current pieces. Through these 10 years I have met many people who have became life long clients as well as some of the best friends I have. Many of which I consider part of my family. Thanks everyone for the continued support and I can’t wait to see what life brings in the next 10 years. #tattoo #tattooartist #tattooideas #horror #horrormovies #horrorfilm #horrorjunkie #horrortattoo #horrortattoos #inked #tattooshop #portraittattoo #realistictattoo #anaheim #darkheritagetattoogallery

Happy 1 year anniversary @josiekitty714 . I can’t believe it’s only been a year since you came into my life. To say that my life has changed forever and for the better is an understatement. You have shown me what it is to be truly loved and supported through every aspect of my life. I can’t believe I get to call you my wife and be able to spend and go though life with you. I love you with all of my heart and I absolutely can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us.

With @terrifier2_official being rereleased into theaters on November 1st I figure I would show some of my favorite Art the clown pieces I have done over the years. I hope you like them.

Happy #werewolfwednesday everyone. Finished off David in the only real jump scare scene from a film that legitimately freaked me out, plus I was a kid lol. Anytime someone wants an American werewolf inspired tattoo I always jump for joy. Of course I have to give a shout out to @therickbaker for his special effects makeup that has not only stood the test of time but in my opinion is much better than any of the cgi stuff they keep trying to bring out. #tattoo #tattooartist #portraittattoo #horror #horrorfilms #horrormovies #horrorfan #anamericanwerewolfinlondon #rickbaker #specialfx #specialeffects #horrormakeup #werewolf #werewolftattoo #werewolftransformation #horrortattoo #horrortattoos
