This video is short look into the past year of my life. These are the people and places who contributed to who I am today. I felt it was time to open up the archives and share something personal. I cannot express my gratitude for everyone who has been a part of my life and those of you I have yet to meet. Life is an awe inspiring journey filled with ups and downs but the friends we make along the way are the substance that makes it worth living.

Tattoo Science: My foot tattoo collaboration

Nate — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:00:22 +0000

This past weekend was one to go down in the history books. Three days surrounded by tattoo artists in an intimate setting, researching, studying, painting, and finally tattooing. Leading the project was Guy Aitchison, and the private event was hosted by Carson Hill at Neuma headquaters.

Since Friday I’ve had the chance to meet and learn from a ton of amazing artists. Guy and his wife Michelle Wortman who does some of the most beautiful feminine tattoos I have ever had the pleasure of viewing were there for the weekend. Mike DeVries, Jeff Johnson and Josh Duffy from MD Tattoo studio stopped by Friday, Adrian Dominic came Saturday, Dan Plumley and Adam Aguas drove in from Illinois for the weekend, Kenny Morris, and Ty Mc Ewen was there the whole time getting down on some killer sketches and paintings.

On Sunday morning I was asked if I wanted to get tattooed by Guy, Carson, Dan, and Ty in a single collaborative piece. I instantly agreed. Steve from Neuma was also worked on 4 way collab style, with the artists working in 20 minute rotations. Each artist had a chance to draw a portion (or erase) the piece and then they all took turns using a large variety of tattoo machines tattooing both Steve and myself. It was an amazing opportunity to be tattooed by these artists, to learn from their years of experience this weekend, and to have a lasting piece of art to remember it by.

A special thank you to Carson, Steve and Neuma tattoo machines without which this never would have happened.

Tattooing Pete

Here are a few pictures from my studio when I was tattooing Pete Malinger the other day. Courtney was nice enough to take a few. She is pretty amazing isn’t she? Just so happens to be the same Courtney that has John Lennon living on her arm. Pete is an amazing musician and you’ll all need to pick up his album as soon as it’s finished!

Abstract Sun Tattoo on Logan

I spent a few minutes setting these shots up when I was out in Arizona tattooing Logan and a few others. My new camera kills it. So I had to learn Final Cut Pro. Just so happens that I am also editing Mike DeVries instructional tattooing DVD. More to come.
