Award-winning Tattoo Artist in Austin, Texas

This tattoo is one done on my wife. It represents the journey through life. The foxes are Dawn and I. I am the one waiting for her in the front. The destination is the ethereal gazebo at the top with the intense light inside. I absolutely love this design. In progress now.

Just beautiful, and classic. It never gets old.

This type of tattoo is very liberating. I love the play with texture and lighting in them. Never gets old.

What can i say, I love space tattoos and people seem to like my take on them. I get asked to do them a lot. I will never complain. I have been a nerd for space since I was a child.

Finished the Zombie Octopus today. I am really happy with how it turned out. I spent a lot of time on it. I will do some more feminine stuff next. I haven't done that in a bit. Guess I have been excited about #TheWalkingDead By the way you can order prints or stretched canvas versions of any of my artwork. Contact me. info at www.craigstattoos.com

This was a tree design with people lining in the tree's bark. The tree is huge and goes all the way into the upper atmosphere. There it collects moisture from the clouds which roll down the tree creating water falls. The water eventually makes it into the ocean.
