Summer is here and the 100+ temperatures are the new norm. Some of you will likely be taking trips to some nice california beaches and some of you will head to the midwest. Its still a great time to be in AZ. The constant sunshine and heat is the perfect time to go swimming and that is the perfect excuse not to get a tattoo. Well believe it or not, there is a cure. No need to sacrifice swimming and no need to sacrifice your new tattoo. you can have your cake and eat it too. Ask me how when you come in for your tattoo, and i promise you wont be disappointed!
Red Lantern Tattoo By David Meek at Fast Lane Tattoo in TucsonHere is a rose cover up tattoo that i freehanded onto the customers foot and up her ankle.Here is another freehand red rose cover up on a girls wristI originally did this tattoo about 5 yrs ago. I recently got the chance to rework the face.I still need another pass on the headband dress and background. A lot has changed over the years.
Thanks for checking out some of my work and as always if you would like to make and appointment please contact me via the contact page or directly at the shop
Mothers Day is literally days away, and sometimes we wait a little too long to shop for mom. Its a daunting task to think of what to get the women that brought us into this world, and have reminded us everyday since, that they were capable of taking us out. So in honor of my fellow procrastinators Ive compiled a list that might help. Feel free to use any of these ideas!
Sailor Jerry Traditional Mother Tattoo Flash
10. Hallmark Card
Its never a bad idea to keep Hallmark on their toes and see how close someone else can write a generic poem that describes your mother perfectly… I myself will be picking up a couple of these bad boys…PS you can always make one too, but something tells me moms are kind of over that homemade crap.
9. Flowers
Never a bad idea to couple this idea with the greeting card. I try to get the birth flowers of the children the made that woman a mother.
8. Gift Cards
Dont know what your mom is currently into these days, no sweat, Amazon gift cards are the bees knees! or whatever you guess her shopping addiction might be. Victorias Secret is one that i highly suggest purchasing the gift card for. Dont by your mom a thong
7. Brunch
Its perfect. its not breakfast and its not lunch. make reservations for someplace decent. Dont hit the waffle house on the highway, you can go there on Fathers Day
6. Tattoos!
This is my personal favorite for obvious reasons. But it really is cool when moms get awesome tattoos to celebrate their children. Hell, its even cool to get a tattoo for yourself for your mom. People have been getting mom tattoos for decades. Nowadays you can honor her with a portrait, traditional heart and other endless mom designs. Its the gift nobody can take away. I actually have a few customers that have made it an annual ritual to get their mothers day tattoos every year. Its awesome
5. Salon/spa
This is a classic for anytime you want to say “yo, all that crazy shit I do, welp, i shouldnt do i so much.” and after a day spa treatment our moms have recharged enough to tolerate us for another 12 months. whew
4. The Theater
You can use your best judgment on this one but it can truly be relaxing to take mom to the theater. i say use your judgement because she might prefer the movie theater, but there is usually a good play or musical in town nearby that you can escort her to. Even symphonies and orchestras are great.
3. Jewelry
Jewelry is another one that can go either way. Some moms have grown accustomed to never having to wear it so its pointless. However, jewelry with birthstones are often a big hit. they dont have to be worn to be cool. In this case and most of the cases here it really is the thought that counts.
2. B and B weekend getaway
there are bed and breakfasts everywhere, make some reservations for mom to take a couple of days to actually read a book. send her off with some wine some snacks and 50 shades of grey and she will have quite the weekend. Im not gonna go into the rest of this one but i think you get the idea.
and finally
1. Cruise
This is something that Ive always wanted to do for my mom and have yet to do it. Financial and schedule difficulties have always come up. But I cant imagine a mom would scoff at 7-10 days cruising from port to port on a floating resort. Terrible. Just terrible.
so thats my list, Hope you enjoy it. Oh, and if anyone needs any assistance with number 6 please use the contact form and we will get you all squared away!

Well December is here and I thought I would share some of my recent doodlings in an update! I’ve got some photos of some great rose tattoos that I had a ton of fun doing the last few days and would live to do more! I’ve also got some healed and fresh pics of some traditional tattoos in the works which are always fun and I would live to do those more often as well! And finally some flash I’ve been putting together. It’s kind of a quick thrown together post so stay tuned for better photos in the tattoo section. Til then I’ll see ya at the shop.
Thanksgiving is over at not a moment too soon. It was a close one this year. It almost got in the way of people’s ability to enjoy a nice black Friday. Luckily black Friday started on Thursday not the least bit distracted by families trying to enjoy each others company. Well all that nonsense aside I’m still thankful to be here another year tattooing and living and loving every moment. I’m very fortunate to have such rad friends that I consider family and such a unique family that makes me very grateful that they raised me proper! My kiddo had a great time too, playing herself into waves of crankiness due to not wanting to nap. She even got to hang with her great grandad for a bit which was awesome.
Now it’s into Christmas full steam ahead. Time for occupy local business. Spend money with tattooers, barbers, bartenders, treat yourself to a thriving local economy this year!
Come by and set up some time for a rad tattoo!
