This is a painting called “Hare” by James Jean. I got it because he’s an amazing artist and it reminds me of my childhood and always having pet rabbits. The tattoo artist is Jaime Ames Navarro.

This is my new St.JOHN restaurant pig. A tribute to an incredible philosophy on food, a brilliant chef (Fergus Henderson), a great restaurant, and a reminder of my passion for cooking and all things animal. Done by the extremely talented Matt Soderberg at Broken Art Tattoo in Los Angeles.

I just recently got my half-sleeve completely finished. These are pictures the artist, Dave Bruehl, took right after it was done. My sleeve consists of characters from the book The Odyssey. I decided on this tattoo because of the great symbolism that is used in the book,. Odysseus is eating a lotus, which is representing me forgetting my past. In the book, if anyone ate a lotus they forgot their home and could not return. Odysseus is also covering his ear with his other hand. This represents me not being reminded my past. The sirens (at the top) would remind people of their past by playing music, and this would cause them to crash their ships.

This is my first tattoo, it is a Raven that is made out of a cathedral. The tattoo is a Raven because it is my favorite animal, and many people see Ravens as a “bad” animal. So I found a version of it as a cathedral, and got my friend to tweak it. The whole tattoo is meant to represent how good and bad are meant to work together to reach a middle ground.
