Got to finish this today. Originally the client booked three sessions, but I only needed two to complete from start to finish. ~johann

Super Bowl Sunday

Giants are gonna battle it out this Sunday and New York is abuzz with Giants fans getting ready to watch the big game. I’m surprised we didn’t do many football related tattoos at the shop this week. Probably for the better though, tattooing the same logo over and over gets old…fast. Here are some recent works by Johann.

Happy Holidays and Happy New year from the Mean Street crew. 2011 was a blast, and we look forward to seeing all of you repeat offenders in the new year! Why not give the gift that lasts a lifetime? We still have gift certificates available for purchase.

I recently finished these pair of Shishi on a client. He had some laser work done to lighten some old work to make way for a proper coverup. In the end, it looks better when there is no large dark mass of color which is an obvious cover up tactic. ~johanntattoo
