Looks really good. I'd love to see a non-blurry picture of this

Nah, he's not full of it. He's a friend of a friend.

He told me Eikon asked him for his shop, but he explained to the person on the phone that he wasn't going to be tattooing people out of his house and it was for personal use only. He wanted to try it out on himself. They sent him 2 machines and a power supply no problem.

Since my original post a few months ago I've finally had a chance to explore the wacom through photoshop. I really like it. I find that I often put off oil painting because of time constraints. However, I usually carry a back pack with my labtop and sketch pad in it. I just threw the wacom in there as well and I have a digital art studio wherever I go. I love it. I can use it for 5 minutes or 5 hours. I don't need to worry about makin a mess or getting thinner and oil paint all over. Most of all I don't need to clean brushes :-) . Not that I mind... but it's a process that often makes me think twice before I get into a project between clients. If I don't have a 2-3 hour window I usually won't bust out the brushes. With that said. Nothing can really replace the look, smell and feel of oil on canvas. I just try to balance my time between oil and digital.

New discovery. A client of mine from out of state said he wanted to get into tattooing and asked me to purchase him a "tattoo gun". I said absolutely not. He came in to the studio a few days ago and informed me he was able to purchase everything he needed straight through Eikon. They added him to their database and he shouldn't have trouble ordering now. This is a carpenter that does cabinet making for a living. It's not just china selling shit to scratchers.
