MY FIRST TATTOO

While I was on the US book tour in San Francisco, I hung out with my friends Shawn Barber and Henry Lewis after the Kidrobot signing. Both artists paint and make tattoos, and Shawn asked if I wanted to make my first tattoo on him. Well naturally I said... Fuck yeah!!! So we went back to his studio, and got to work! All photos by Henry Lewis.


Setting up!


I drew it on with pen and about to start. I am very nervous...
Here we go!!


Bzzzzz...... I'm not hurting you am I?


Happy fun time!




Last little touches, and fixing the beginning part where I wasn't going in deep enough.


Linework all finished!

Shawn says fuck yeah too!


Got out the shader to do some detail bits.


Shading all done!


Now the last touch, some bling, a gold toof.


Yay!!!!


Tadaa!!!

Thanks to Mr. Barber, for his skin and to Mr. Lewis for the tips!
So who's next?!?!
