This is a flashback to a tattoo that I feel was very defining for myself as an artist and young tattooer.  I made this tattoo sometime around the year 2003-2004 I think.  A great guy named Matt got this tattoo from me while I was working in Marietta, Georgia at Psycho Tattoos with a few guys that really taught me a lot as well. I have very great memories with this tattoo and I hope you enjoy it as well. 

I still enjoy seeing the life meter and hearts at the top along with the keys and rupees below.

I made this Mario Brothers Tattoo over 10 years ago on a guy named Jacob.  At the time I was tattooing in Valdosta, Georgia at the very first tattoo studio that owned. This tattoo was a lot of fun to design and took around 20 hours to make, I think.  It is located on a leg, knee down fully connected.

I really enjoy doing this style of tattooing, I'm not sure what to call it though, "Painterly"  I guess?

I really enjoyed this process of making this tattoo. Its pretty amazing getting to create bonds and friendships while tattooing and getting to learn about enique life goals and different paths people live and how each person has a very different story from the next. This tattoo took many sessions to complete and I think we both learned a lot through the process and over the time spent on it. 
Thank you Mike for getting this Buddha tattoo and many more since, I appreciate it very much. 

I began tattooing around August of 2002 and life has not been the same ever since. I knew from that moment forward my life would never be the same.  I love this opportunity that I've been given to make something new for someone different every day and appreciate all the people I've met and  become friends with along the way as well. I love collecting tattoos and what they have done for me on a personal level and I love trying to give people a positive, life changing piece of art to wear and gain confidence with in life. It's more than just a tattoo and Thank You for choosing me!  

The next few tattoos are all older tattoos that I made over 10 years ago, each of these
at points in my life that I feel like were very monumental for me. 

This tattoo of an asian influenced phoenix was tattooed by myself, Craig Beasley sometime around the year of 2004/2005 and it took about 20 or so hours to make this tattoo.  I really enjoyed the experience of making this tattoo, I learned a lot during the process, and this tattoo has since become somewhat of a common subject for me to tattoo for many other people as well, but never the same.  

This Lion was another tattoo I made a long time ago, I think around the year 2006 or so. Another tattoo in which I learned a lot from and had a lot of fun with. We made this tattoo while traveling on tour with Fall Out Boy, it was done on a really good guy that was working with the band at the time.  ​

This tattoo tells the Egyptian story of Osiris, Isis, and Seth.  I made this tattoo around the year 2006 and learned quite a lot during this process.  Not only about art and tattooing, but myself and people, as well as growth with your client and the entire process. I really enjoy the style and concept of this.
