My friend Justin owns and tattoos at Hardwire Tattoo located in Wilmington, NC. When he opened a new shop, he asked me to come down and do some paintwork for him. The only photos of the shop that I could find are these two, but I did much more work than what's shown. Here's the lettering on the front doors, and below is a pirate wench. Justin always has interesting and fun projects for me to do, and this was no exception. I hope to visit him and the rest of the guys who work at the shop soon!
I put this tattoo on my friend Louie who wanted a piece to represent his career as a sailer in the navy. The anchors were taken from a photo of the pin he used to wear on his uniform
I did this paw print on a girl who's cat passed away yesterday. She wanted to do something in his honor, and now when she looks at her arm he will be remembered...
I painted this wall inside a warehouse owned by Marty Warhola, who is Andy Warhol's nephew. I'm not sure if there was ever a definite meaning behind the mural, but it's really big and looks cool. There were many other pieces of art hanging in the warehouse, including some originals by Andy. It was a cool place, it was the home to two of the coolest cats I ever met.
Mini praying hands for ya!
I love the gangster script all day every day!
This kid was really cool. He and a friend were on a roadtrip from Chicago and he got this cactus tattoo while passing though. We had a good time talking and cutting up while he was in the chair

This lettering on the front of the leg is the beginning of a larger piece...
This girl sat like a champ during this fairly big tattoo on her back...
I never get tired of doing Old E lettering
