God Damn, you are a good tattoo artist! My knowledge of tattoo artists isn't very good, but down her in aus it's been difficult for me to find someone really good. yours are so detailed and amazing! very nice work.

i am greatly impressed by your work. I had a very good friend that is no longer with us(passed away) that did my work. I never got to finish ....he was a very tallented man..it took me a while to find the guts up to see about another artist, design...and well i think i finally found you. it has been since 2002 sincei got my last tat. i have 8...they not to big...but i have my first two...that where done..lets just say not good...


AND I SEE YOUR WORK...wow!
i used to do drawings of designs for my freinds studio who is no longer with us.

but i agree, with the other folks you do great work..i have a degree in art...i many work on pen and ink and drawing...so i really apprecate you talent...

it makes me feel damn good to see a artist such as yourself...doing great work..i hope i can work with you on the 2 that really need doctoring...(cover ups...)

take care and cheers my friend. thank you kindly

prices depend on the piece. if its a design that can be done in 2 or 3 hrs or less, i will give a flat price ahead of time. if its one of my larger pieces that require multiple sessions, then i charge $100 per hr.
as for my coverups or fixes, i would first need you to send me a picture of what you wanted fixed. a redo/fix job can be assessed easily thru a photo. a total cover-up usually needs us to meet in person so i can make an accurate tracing of the old tattoo, then sit down and figure out what ill do to place over it. sometimes i can do it all thru a photo, depending on the size, placement and complexity of the old tattoo. what are you thinking about doing and/or fixing?

So I'm curious what your rates are? Do you charge by hour or by piece or how would you fix a bad tattoo?

thanks alot. that was an incredible thing to say. im glad you like my stuff so much!

I would like to start by saying what a true asset you are to your art. I have a great amount of admiration for your work as well as your specific style and color work. I would like to commend you for all of your time and effort that you have invested into your work and given to the world of Tattoo body art.
I would like to ask a question or two on a more professional level if I may be so bold, however I do not want to ask on an open forum such as this; first for general safety for anyone who would try to mimic you and secondly out of respect for your art and the profession.
Do you have a preferred way to speak outside of this that I may use? If I am being too forward in my inquiries please forgive me, I would like to see if I am correct about a few things. I know that some artists do not like to answer certain questions about their work and I don’t want to intrude.
I am currently retired as of right now, however I am considering of re- opening a new shop here in Missouri as I have been in this profession for quite a few years and it is the one that I know the best.
Thank you for your time,
Rich
