The work
Color, black and gray, and the painted flash. Tap any piece to see it full size.
Painted flash
Flash is painted first and tattooed after: a sheet of designs drawn to be worn, in the same limited palette the machine will use. Sixteen of his are on this site, and any of them can be taken straight off the sheet.

About
Bold lines and a limited palette. He calls them timeless designs, and that is what the sixty-five pieces here have in common, whether they are color or black and gray.
Chris works out of Encore Tattoo on Chippewa Street, alongside Tyler, Panda and Ryan. Bring a reference, a rough idea, or nothing at all and pick something off a flash sheet.
