Scorpion Coverup (Butt Tattoo)
Background:
The original tattoo (pictured first above) was 10 to 15 years old and the client was looking to have it updated. The tattoo, which was located on his butt, was given new, current colours – retiring its outdated 1980′s chrome.

Virtute Et Fortuna (Upper Back Tattoo)
Background:
This was another first tattoo where the client had a concept and Peter was able to draw & stylize it for him. While Peter is use to doing colour, this is one of Peter’s few tattoos that are black and white. Virtute Et Fortuna means By virtue and valour.

Cover Up: Whale to a Flower (Wrist Tattoo)
Background:
The original tattoo from another shop was of a whale, which was small, fading, and wasn’t happy about it. After seeing Peter, a yellow flower was traced then drew on by Peter.
Remember: Just because you have a tattoo doesn’t mean you can’t update it!

Work in Progress: Guns, Dagger, Spider… (Chest Tattoo)
Background:
Kyle is one of our most recent new hires at the shop and was looking to have more tattoos added to his collection. On his chest, Peter drew the outline for: a pair of crossed guns, horse shoe, a moth, roses, a spider, and a dagger through his belly button. More drawings will be added in the open areas and colour soon enough!

Large Tribal Piece (Arm & Chest Tattoo)
Background:
This was the client’s second tattoo and was looking to have it all done in one sitting. Filled-in tribal can take a long time, but Peter was able to do this free hand in one appointment for him.

Colourful Compass (Shoulder Tattoo)
Background:
The client came by with an idea to have a compass with crazy funky colours of his choosing. Following his direction, Peter made this happen and applied it on his arm (which was rather large so it required a lot of time to create one that big).

Demon Horse Chicken (Leg Tattoo)
Background:
This is one of Steven’s many other traditional style of tattoos with Peter. This time Peter drew up a demon horse head with a goblet and a chicken foot base. Whoa. The detail is crisp and will have it coloured in next time around.

Domesticated Wolf (Arm Tattoo)
Background:
First time client from the World’s Biggest Bookstore came in looking to have his first tattoo. He loves wolves and was looking to have one, and originally wanted it in an arm band. Considering how outdated that style is, him and Peter decided to go with this traditional style of wolf and paw prints.
