What would you choose? If you flick through my IG account you will get a pretty good idea what I lean towards when drawing for fun. If you could get a 2-3 hour tattoo around the size of your hand. Drawn on- no Stencil. ~~ ( this takes Google Images and Pinterest off the board for this request~). #freetattoo #bio #alaska #kevinhardentattoo #freehand #drawnon #marker
Thank you Matt for choosing one of my “Wanna-Do” Designs. Redrawn to fit his shoulder. It’s been a while since I have tattooed a twisty tree. Add a Skull=Super Fun Tattoo!!! #skull #tree #trees #kevinhardentattoo
There are walk-in clients that are only looking for a yes man to trace images from Pinterest or Google. This pays the bills and hopefully leads to word of mouth advertising to attract more clientele. . And then you get the people that research tattoo artists, look at their website, Instagram,etc. . Collectors who bring in fun projects that cater to all of your artistic strengths. . They listen to your advise based on years of experience creating designs with Proven Methods. . These are the clients that keep me inspired to go home at night to draw and paint, to improve my skills, develop my graphic vocabulary, strengthen my foundation, and sharpen new skills. . This tattoo - from drawing to pulling Lines. 100% my artistic strengths, a subject matter I am passionate about, done in a style I have developed over 27 years of tattooing. . This is what makes tattooing so rewarding.
Not quite the skin rip look. A bit of a Bio-Organic interpretation. Colors are washed out- fresh tattoo + angry skin + bright light. Hoping to get a healed photo after it is healed. #bearskull #biomorph #bioorg #biomech #alaskatattoo #anchoragetattoo #theholelook #thelook #aksmoke

?? Have you ever done a portrait tattoo? Then 2 years later, your tattooing someone that knows the girl whose face you tattooed? That person informs you that the guy getting her face tattooed on his chest forever, never dated that girl? He was just obsessed and thought the tattoo would let him leap over the friends ladder, right to the top of the Fuck Ladder!!! That never happened, and makes for a creepy tattoo story....... tattooed around 2001 - - - #stalker #portrait #facetattoo #creeper

Still minimizing and doing a much needed purge. Found some pics of the back of my leg. Rocket Pencil Girl by @kimsaigh I got 20 years ago in Chicago at Cherry Bomb Tattoo. Now Kim is in LA at @memoirtattoo I do not get the chance to see this very often. Not as flexible as I used to be. Holding up very nicely though on my pale Irish/Alaskan skin!! - - - #kimsaigh #kimsaightattoo #memoirtattoo #rocketgirl #pencil #space #jetpack
I’m Curious???!!? If I dropped my hourly rate from $160 to $100 (ONLY for BIO-ORGANICA TATTOOS). Would you be motivated to collect/invest? ~ ~ ~ This imagery has been pouring out of me for several years now. It feels the most natural and authentic to me. I love the morphing of textures and the unlimited possibilities. Wood, floral, bone, skulls, rocks, seashells, coral, vertebrae, ribs, tentacles... I have only had a few people jump aboard. The old saying “If you build it, they will come!!” I have been doing construction for years and would like more people to sit in the bleachers. This tattooing art style works incredibly well with the body/anatomy. These designs flow with the muscle groups and S-Curves of the body. If the cost of entry is holding people back, then I am willing to lower the price in order to build. Build a new chapter of my career. Build people’s confidence in my abilities. Build a community of like minded people. I have far more to offer the tattoo world that has provided me so much, yet I am not putting out into the world what I am capable of. #bio #biooorganica #biomech #create #love #authenticity #flow #muse
If you have Vimeo— do yourself a favor and look up @davecooper67 the Absence of Eddy Table. Crazy textures. Excellent short film.
Early attempts at gouache & mixed media. Painting in general. I try to force it to do what I can do with a tattoo machine or colored pencils. Letting paint be paint has been a battle for some time. -#1 Goal Seeker. -#2 Draw,Draw,Draw. -#3 No Title, but heavy on the Foreshadowing. #Keeppainting #paintlife #newgoals #midlifecrisis #whatmakesyouhappy
Ink, colored pencil. Design for a Hoodie from 20 years ago. I will be putting these out at the shop. Some will be priced. Others will be in a grab what you want, pay what you want bin. After a couple months I plan on burning what’s left. Time to move on. #burnsale #paywhatyouwant #whatisartworth
Going through piles of old drawings. Found these photos of one of my early Backpieces. Featured in FLASH Magazine in 2002. #wizard #cauldron #backpiece #90stattoo
