Had the opportunity to make this Descender cover-up for the awesome @scottamaki . If you`ve taken to me about comics in the past few years, then I`ve already recommended reading Descender to you... I`m so stoked to tattoo this piece from one of my favorite sci-fi books. Thank you to Dustin Nguyen for allowing me to adapt his artwork for this! 🤙

Stoked to have the opportunity to make this grapefruit and raspberries tattoo for @manyspecs2020 . As a gardening enthusiast I always love tattooing flowers, plants, trees, and the like. I`d be happy to do many more of these, especially in the winter when I`m not gardening.
