An abstraction of contrasts, a work in progress. Thanks for the freedom and release @haydenstrongart we’ll be back here again...

A project on parallel structures, the head footed ones, genetic drift... Thanks for the freedom and trust . . . #tattoo #ttt #manusluxtattoo #nakona #sftattoo

Many clients come to me curious if there is some way to unify existing tattoos done in a piecemeal fashion. It’s a challenge, but ultimately worth it. Enjoy your bodysuits, with any number of tattoos . . . #manusluxtattoo #nakona #21stcenturybodysuits #tattoo #topographic

A bit difficult to see what’s going on here, mainly for my lack of photographic skill but also because all of these tattoos are made for your body, moving through time and space, and not for viewing through the 5 inch screen most of you are holding, as I am right now. Looking forward to more sleeve collaborations, thanks people. #rockrosestudio #nakona #tattoo #storytellingtattoo #manusluxtattoo #thesmellandtasteoffermentedgrapes

Sometimes it’s painfully obvious how things take time and perseverance beyond the now usual instant virtual time frames. Some find this frustrating, while others gain strength through the struggle. Thanks for making the time . . #tattoo #manusluxtattoo #nakona #abstracttattoo #tttism

when not working, making an ass of myself

And you don’t stop... another fun day on this extrapolation of impacts. How do universal laws and structures impact earth? How does the earth impact us? How do we impact the ones on this planet who create life from simple elements, which are formed in the maelstrom of this universe? I do not know the answers; just exploring this story with fellow space travelers. And you don’t stop... . . . #tattoo #manusluxtattoo #nakona #storytellingtattoo #abstracttattoo

Blue eyed grass, bitterroot and suisun thistle for @shhayo ... go check her ninja embroidery skills out. And thanks for the trust and release, it’s always so appreciated when clients just sit back and enjoy the scenery... . . . #tattoo #sftattoo #rockrosestudio #nakona #manusluxtattoo

Mostly healed, back piece fresh. Over the years. At some point, I think many of us who get tattoos realize it’s actually just one tattoo. Or at least it could be... . . . . #tattoo #rockrosestudio #nakona #rustybackfern #manusluxtattoo
