So we decided to take the Studio 21 Tattoo family out to a good quality all ya can stuff your ass with “Crab Fest” and soul food! Ahh yeah. Sooooo good… Ray met his future wife (The Tiger Mistress) and we exchanged a few secret Santa gifts…lovely time. We downed a few brewskies, ate some crocodil tail, and finished er’ off with some frog legs and fried catfish…amazing. I love soul food. hah.

Thank you for making 2007 such a kick ass year. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a kick ass New Year!

More great stuff to come in 2008.

Check these out…these are all the girls and my sis and girlfriend that we had in the Studio 21 Tattoo booth at the Rockabilly rod reunion.. pretty cool!

Damn! My lil’ sister is fuckin’ 26. Thats nuts to me, I guess were still little babies in the long run….now instead of chasing each other around the backyard, were getting smashed at bars and actin’ like a bunch of maniacs and waking up trying to figure out what the hell happened the night before. Awesome.

Yo!, check it out..I threw together a quick lil’ video tour of my tattoo studio the other day. I think I’m going to put a nicer one together soon. Let me know what you think. Later skater. Austin.

Ya, check this out …I painted this belt buckle not to long ago made out of a skateboard deck. We donated them to an auction to raise money for the “Adaptive Action Sports” non profit. I think this was my first acrylic painting attempt since Jr. high. Beckycity.com made the buckles..you should also check out her purses..I’ve painted one of those too!

I knocked out another rib tatter the other day, these fuckers hurt. Tom here was not feeling it! He handled it like man though and promised to NEVER get the other side done. Ha. They always say that. A year later they make another couple appt.’s to even out the other side. Good job Tommy boy. You da man.

Unfortunately I had to do this tattoo for a shitty reason…I tend to get pretty close to my clients over the years, and end up being there for the good and bad. I’ve been tattooing John for ,4 or so years now…and wasn’t very happy to hear that he had experienced a death in the family. John wanted to put together an image to express his feelings and broken heart…this is what we pulled together and I hope he’s every bit happy with it as I am. I’m Glad I could be there John, I hope all is well.

Check out this Organic…ish stuff that I just finished up on my buddy Travis. He owns a landscaping company out here in Las Vegas, NV… M&M Landscape, and had been working on tying a little bit of what he does into what we came up with for a tattoo. We were both pretty stoked on the finished product. He’s ready to continue on to the chest now..haha…got em hooked.

Only in Las Vegas do I throw a party and a professional female fighter and a 6′ 4″ man banana go toe to toe…followed by the man banana running full speed into my storage unit! That’s my backyard….what’s left of it! Thanks “Man Banana”! Happy Holidays!
P.S. if you want to see more party photos, check the archives! They get waaayyy better! Thanks. Austin.
