Jason is heading back to Detroit to open a small brewery called batch!

we're gonna fill in some spots before he goes!

I tattooed my dad today. His first tattoo!

His wife's name is Mickey. 

tattoo aftercare

people always ask me what I recommend for healing a tattoo.  for me it's simple.  do nothing and your tattoo will heal.  itchy and crusty.  but It will heal. use fragrance free alcohol free lotion and your tattoo will heal normally and not be as itchy or uncomfortable. it you want your tattoo to heal quickly and aid the rejuvenation of new skin with hardly any itchy crusty spots I recommend ohana gold. this is 100% natural.  made in small batches. this isn't commercial bullshit. this come from within the industry. my friend megan is heavily tattooed and her husband is an amazing tattooer.  they have been apart of this industry for a long time.  

I don't typically praise to many things online.  but this is a great project I want to see succeed. this is the first aftercare I've seen that has integrity.

This watercolor was done in 2013 and sold to a good friend and tattoo collector. I kind of miss it!
