:::ALL SOLD::: Attention adventurers! Beholder prints are now available. $10 pickup or $13 shipped. DM or comment if you wanna snag one! Cash or PayPal only. (Disclaimer: They were unfortunately printed at an odd size. They will need to be matted to fit in a standard frame. For that reason I am selling them much cheaper than I otherwise would.)

Finished this really fun, abstract skull yesterday! My client was initially attracted to trash polka, which is pretty far outside of my wheelhouse. I think we arrived at a really cool middle ground. Thanks for the trust Branden! @sacredtattoostudio

I’ve been digging through my iPad and clearing out years of old photos. I’ve rediscovered some old favorites along the way. I don’t think I ever shared this whole sleeve so here you go! @sacredtattoostudio

I made this lion on a rad client who braved insane snow storms to get this tattoo. Done over two days. A little over twelve hours. Thanks Bradley! @sacredtattoostudio

I posted some rose drawings last week, and by the end of the week I tattooed them all! This was super fun! Thanks so much to everyone that snagged one. It’s nice to get back to basics sometimes so I’ll def be doing this again! @sacredtattoostudio

I had the pleasure of adding another piece to this archangel sleeve! This is my interpretation of Raphael, the Angel of Healing. Done over the last two days. Shout out to my client for being tough as nails! Made @sacredtattoostudio

Just finished back to back days on the first part

Just finished back to back days on the first part of this sleeve. We still have a little more to go before I call it done, but I’m super stoked on the progress so far! And a quick shoutout to @jamie_thayer and @glow_sculpting_spa for making this possible. They have been a huge blessing to us and our clients @sacredtattoostudio So thank you guys. And go check them out for laser or any of there other services!

My client said “Do whatever you want.” That’s a tougher request than you think. There’s concern of landing on something the client simply doesn’t want. And that’s fair. But in this case, thankfully, my client loved it. This piece allowed me to push towards elements of design that really inspire me. Shout out to the artists pushing the envelope and paving the way for the rest of us. @robbylatos @david.jorquera @mrdist @rubentattooer @carlostorresart @roberthernandeztattoos @victorportugal @michaelperryart @josh_duffy @quinhernandez @garymossman @ivanonataletats And there are many many more I’m sure.

I’m breaking the mold here. I never post color/traditional tattoos to my page. But I want to start sneaking in more traditional tattoos on days that I get done early or when I have cancellations. It will generally be a short notice situation, so simply post a comment below and I will reach out on days that open up! @sacredtattoostudio P.S. This is on my best bud @ryanmcclellandart Go check out his work and give him a follow. Thanks y’all! ✌🏼
