Keith Ciaramello's "keep it real" advanced techniques for realistic tattooing vol.1- pure awesomeness. 3 discs- 5 hours of inspiration and knowledge to help elevate your craft to the next level. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be a better tattoo artist.

Hey Keith,
Finally had a chance to watch the DVD. Thanks for sharing! Great to learn from an articulate, talented guy who is smart enough to have his someone else do the camera work. Appreciated the extra steps you took to kick this DVD out of the park. Painting with needles on skin - great to think of it that way thanks to your artistic approach.
I'll send you some pics once i can convince someone to let me try some of this stuff out on their skin.
Cheers,
Anthony

Penny & Elvis.

Got to do this one last night.

NEKO AND ADAM HATHORN.

Got to go down and visit two good friends in San Diego today. First I checked out NEKO and Adam's new studio, then we went and hung with Adam at work for a little while. Here are some flicks of the spot.

Check out NEKO and Adam at the following addresses:

www.Honkeykong.com
www.myspace.com/slutsone
www.myspace.com/honkeykong

Buy stuff from them there. They always have art available at affordable prices, prints, and currently have scarves. Make a move!

Pretty intense sky on the drive there.










Adam's station at Guru Tattoo.



Cooper's station.
Rory's snake in a jar. I NEED one of these. Please?
Here are the Konger's scarves that are currently available. Holler at him for the info.


And here is a piece I finally picked up from NEKO. 15x15 inches. 'Hot Hand In A Dice Game".
