Schaiparelli Glassed tattoo by Art Gallardo
this was fun to do. these are my wife's  pair of glasses, that i tattooed on her for her birth-day. Usually she gives me such a hard time when i tattoo here. but this time she bit her tongue and looked the other way until i was do. the color was pretty simple,(red, purple, and black).

Cali Bear tattoo done by Art Gallardo
This came out really cool. A California outline with a fierce bear on the inside, and a negative star showing were Los Angeles would be.

Tattoo Upgrade done by Art Gallardo
This is a "Tattoo Upgrade". The picture on top, is of the tattoo the way that the customer had it. The line work was inconsistent and the color was dull. However, i was able to Upgrade the tattoo. In the picture on the bottom you could see how i was able to smooth-en out all of the lines. Then, recolored them, bringing this tattoo back to a better luster.

Bleeding Roses tattoo done by Art Gallardo
This image comes from a Salvador Dali, painting, called The Bleeding Roses. Being a huge Dali fan, i was really exited to do this tattoo. I had to free hand draw this image on to the hand with some tattoo pens. Then i went to town, mixing all the different tones of Red. Awesome piece.
