last o' the phone photos...

...and speaking of phone stuff:   I forgot that a few years ago the shop had printed my instagram handle wrong on the cards, so I just took the easier route and went ahead and changed it to match the cards.  So for the instagram of various little bits and bobs, it is @geoff_mc

first paintin' done in a year or so... should probably get more on that stuff

had to work around the name, but had fun getting all noodley with this hellmouthy thingy

mo' fotos...

going and going...

messin' around with single needles with kenny

healed for a while

dragged some photos over from my crappy iphone...

...I really should get a newer one that works better, but apparently is made an awkward size and complained about as much as my oldish one is. So sorry if they aren't so nice... but they are in some semi-chronological order.

is this thing still on? ...almost forgot about this

Gonna try posting a little bit more.  It's been so damned long.  But I got my ankle broken, so gonna try to get rolling on a bit more painting and shit too when I find the time.  

the hardest thing to get this extracurricular stuff done is just gettin' started.

slow to post

 Here's some black and gray type stuff I've done over the past year or so.  Starting with Rob's back, where there is a big ol' cover up towards the bottom.

We got done with Adam's back in like crazy record time... he sat for long hours and like a champ for what, so far, is his only tattoo.

rene's family with a little art nouveau inspiration

mike's gals above his chest... wish I a had a little better picture.

...I got to really get on this postin' stuff.

PS: Workin' at SETCO seems to be rocking pretty swell so far.  The guys are awesome and much more my type of tattooers.  The locale is pretty mellow, but not really off the beaten path as one would think.  I can get a good coffee, an all day breakfast, a nice authentic torta, a damn good vietnamese sub, groceries, pho, amazing singapore style jerky, or too many energy drinks all within a two minute's walk.  

But I am sorry for any emails that I am super slow at replying to.  Please bare with me a bit.  I gotta do a lot more hustling since Steph was so good at scheduling and dealing with clients for me before.   Gotta love a good manager.

well poopy pants....

so port side has taken a turn for the wurst.  The 1685 Davie location will no longer be a tattoo shop after september.  next week.  Despite all the crap that has transpired and will still be ongoing... I am still busy as a bee and am pluggin away at the work.  But as of October 5....

I will be at Sanitary Electric Tattoo Company with Chad Woodley and Dax Brunet.  It's bitter sweet, but I will finally get to work with some dudes who bust out the tattoos and paintings like their lives depended on it and flip shit like the big boys do.  So the future might get a little interesting and I can get my nose back to the grindstone of work... and honeybunches of it. 

In this time of transition, it may be best to email me at geoph.a.i@gmail.com if you want to get in touch.  I'm a little slow to respond sometimes, but bare with me. 

So bummed about the past... but looking forward to something better in the future.

To make this post seem worth it... here's a couple, starting with trevor's arm

the pirate was so fresh and red that I had to black/gray filter it.  sorry about that.
