ROSIE THE RIVETER SKATEBOARDER TATTOO BY DAVE KNOX FAIRBANKS ALASKA

Did this sweet Rosie Riveter on a skateboard tattoo on a 18 year old girl on her birthday back
in Indiana before I left Device Tattoo to come here. Second tattoo is on my friend Pineapple from Chicago, he told me in front of Kode's whole crew at the Vietnam Vets reunion how he was going to kick my ass if i jenked up his tattoo... well.. as everybody behind the counter got smaller.. and smaller.. dang he reminded me of my good friend Rick Hernandez in Indiana it was like old times from the start.. kindred spirits for sure
.. After the tattoo he apologized for what he said about kicking my ass and said he was just a little nervous..Pineapple is in the last photo on right, and like he said, "like a pineapple he was rough on the outside but sweet on the inside"! haha good times!

SPIDER WEB AND SKULL..ROY BOYS REVENGE.. BADLANDS STYLE TATTOOING BY DAVE KNOX

Did This kick ass sleeve on my good friend Skip.. I did the webbing in negative space with small skulls in dark areas with some texture shading also. We started at the bottom with back shaded flames that are overlapping a skull tattoo with Roy Boy's cone movement style fill in. Next tattoo is a cover up consultation where the client's wife wants this special Pooh tat covered up... Dang we all had such a good long laugh with the client and I explained to him that i would hate to cover that sweet Pooh tat up but I would, and would love to photograph the tattoo and share it with the rest of the world!

STEWED SCREWED AND TATTOOED... SAILOR JERRY TATTOO BY DAVE KNOX FAIRBANKS ALASKA

Did this traditional Sailor Jerry tat on my friend Tim.. we had a good time doing this classic and rocked it out!  Next tattoo is a cover-up for my bud Matt.. he was never happy from the start with these clouds, light rays and shading that was done by another Fairbanks artist. I took a few months before i tackled this one and gave it much thought. I am totally stoked with the final product we had produced by working closely together throughout the en



tire process.
