scott robinson

i made my first trip to thailand in 2002 , i was staying in koh pangan for one month , just chilling i met a lot of interesting  peoples

one of them was scott he is originally from Vancouver , but spend many of the last 10 years in koh pangan .

it didn’t take long and scott wanted a tattoo , but he asked to cover   his old tattoo with a tibetan style design ,

i had to tel him that he better try some body else that do that style because i do mostly black simple tattoos ( i was only tattooing 3 years at the time)

since then i`ve been in thailand many times and each of those times i went to the same place , and of-course scott was there too , we became to be good friends

and scott just didn`t get to go and cover his old tattoos , that until one sunny day we sat in my bungalow chilling and we decided to work on his other tattoo that was kind of covering all his upper half sleeve , so we just went and tattoo as we go no drawing or sketch just freestyle.

was nice came out better then what it was 🙂

now after we finish that cover up , i was ready for the other side , tibetan style nature , we decide just do it same as the other one no plans just go and tattoo it,

we finish the out line here in new york maybe finish next time in thailand , here some photos of those fun tattoos .

one of the photos is the view from my work station in my bongalow

better then before

cover up in proggress

fish and flowers

john came in with an old half sleeve koi fish and water we add the lower part and the all inside of his arm with another fish water and flowers .

next his right arm , thank you john .

buddha & phoenix tattoo finish

jon had few tattoos he got wile serving the army , he didn`t like them so much and removed

a rib tattoo , back shoulder and a full half sleeve and  chest , that was a painful process that left a lot of scars on him .

i covered his left arm and chest with a buddha riding a Phoenix back and the double dorje on his chest , you can still see the scar under ,throw the halo of the buddha ,i think its also adding another dimension to his tattoo. i attached  a couple of before photos as well
