Tattoos & Art by: DAVID EKSTROM: My back tattoo, and 2 tattoos iv done

Jaystons Wolf/Stag hybrid tattoo by DAVID Ekstrom

i couldn't figure out which view of this wolf-deer mash-up that i liked more, a zoomed or a further away one, to show that its actually on a hand... defiantly one of my favorite hand tattoos that iv done, and it healed pretty fucking solid, to add to that, hah, so, score. the body of this creature wraps up to the inside forearm, and has wings and angry claw hands and such, but, this is the money maker right here.

Jordans Coverup/Rework Skull Chest tattoo by DAVID Ekstrom

the power of re-works!
i originally did this chest tattoo when i was maybe 2-2.5 years into tattooing, starbrite (BOOOOO HORRIBLE INK), and poor methods of tattooing with mediocre equipment will defiantly make your tattoo age like that, so i added a pound of black and re worked a bunch of it, i think originally i free-handed this bad boy on, which is why it lacks anal retentive symmetry

Laser coverup Full Black and Grey Back tattoo Biomech Monster Creature thing tattoo by ERIC S

hey look, its my butt.
Tattoo done by Eric Schandelmeier! he also did the right black and grey biomech sleeve you can just make out in this picture as well. not the shitty unfinished left sleeve, which hopefully my buddy jeff gets to work on more soon.
laser work by nick settitch of renewal laser

if your in the Minnesota- twin citys- area, i would recommend no other laser technician then Nick Settitch, hes extremely professional, will talk your ear off about the biology, and science of laser removal, and cares more about your comfort then most massage therapists iv been too.

My sister received laser work from a doctor who had a lot of money because he charged a lot of money, a guy who removed tattoos because he didn't believe in them in the first place, who would never get tattooed, she had a horrible experience, and was severely overcharged and experienced a ton of blistering,

Nick Settitch of renewal laser has had tattoos, and still gets them, and understands the culture of tattoos which is alot more comfortable for collectors to go to then some doctor that just wants to line his pocket. im able to have the full backpeice a major tattoo collector always wants because of laser work, i will always reccomend laser work over trying to cover up something that leaves yuou with a 'meh' coverup in the end, when you can get laser and basically start from new, depending on how far you want to take the laser work.
