sarahleejackson asked: What shop do you work at in San Fran?

i work at Saved tattoo in Brooklyn New York

braveanimal asked: hello. i have a shitty red lightning bolt that i think you could turn into a badass snake with a red diamond. you said you like doing snakes and you do an awesome job at it. it's placed above my right knee and i think it would be rad if the snake wrapped around my knee or something. anyway, i live out in portland, oregon and know you sometimes work out of scapegoat. do you know the next time you are planning on coming out here? would love to set up an appointment. thanks brandon

probably summer some time. i will definitely post dates on my site when i have them! also, my email is criscleen@yahoo.com . you can write me there when you see some dates

finally got to do this painting as a tattoo. very pleased with the translation.

After all these years of tattooing my best friend Bryce, we finally did his hand. i often tattoo stuff on Bryce i wish i had gotten. the size and placement of this swallow is very ideal to me in the world of sleeve -to-knuckles full coverage look that is so common these days. i appreciate Bryce’s loyalty to my individual craft and wouldnt have gotten all of this work out there without him.

Margaret Cho also got this piece from one of my paintings that i really cherished and always wanted to see  come to life. im glad she is wearing it as well as owning the painting!

did this on Margaret Cho the first couple days of her several day session getting tattooed by me. i had a great time with Margaret and felt very appreciated by someone with such a great collection as hers. it was an honor and a pleasure especially putting tattoos that interact with such a lovely Ed Hardy piece. hopefully it all flows nicely!
