Did this yesterday! It’s based off of a charcoal piece I did for somebody a long time ago. Minor imperfections are purposeful, I wanted to get it as close to the original as possible.

Today’s fun! This was the hardest tattoo I have done in a long time, due to both location and design. To see it actually work as an interactive tattoo was pretty cool. When it’s scanned, it opens a text file that says “I Quit” representing the client quitting drugs, smoking, and other life-limiting activities! #tattoo #tattoos #qrcode #scanner #barcode #barcodetattoo #qrcodetattoo #difficult #verydifficult #stressful #payoff #awesome #blacktattoo #tribaltattoo #sidetattoo #badpicture #tattooartist #tattooshop #preyingmantistattoo #tattoosbybradanderson #drugfree #lakewood #denver #colorado (at Preying Mantis Tattoo)

When in doubt, bro it out. Anybody want a sick bro hat to show off to the bros when you’re bro’ing out at the bro-down? Get @ me, bro. I got what you need. $20, I can do any design you want or you can keep it classic and rage the sick shocker you see above.

Alright, I’m on a #throwbackthursday kick. Before I became the handsome devil that you see today I looked like Brett Michaels’ little sister.
