Here is another example of a successful cover-up. But it also shows How you need to be creative in order for it to work out great.
Hello Friends,
It’s that time of year, XMAS!!!! We want to do something special. We want to spread some positive thoughts and feelings out. So we found a way.
We have created a toy drive for kids at Oak City Tattoo for Christmas. We are giving discounts in return for the donations. The max is $20 for the presents. We are matching the price of the presents.
Example= $10 gift = $20 off on your tattoo.
This is for tattoos only. If we need to, or you need to schedule later, we will give you a gift certificate to be used at a later time.

Personally if I ever saw a nurse come to my room looking like this I would think …. well I had a good run, no regrets, and I lived life to the fullest. Fortunately this is just another tattoo I made for a client, who is a nurse. She didn’t just want a nurse’s badge or a caduceus image, she wanted something different. She had always wanted something day of the dead as well. So we incorporated the two and this is how it came out. Cheers
Hello Friends. Once again it’s time for a little look into what we do at Oak City Tattoo. As well as tattooing, we are painters too. Not that we could make a living at it, but who can in these times. With this thought I have just written I based a painting off of the situation that is going on here in the USA. It’s based off of false bank loans and false managers signing the loans and the need for there to be transparency in our government and banks since it’s us who are paying with our lives and our love ones. The best thing about painting for me at least is that I have full ability to develope my thoughts and expressions and hope that they translate well. The best thing about art is everybody see’s it a different way, so on that note I hope you enjoy. I give you :
One flew from the cuckoo’s nest.
Back for another, Rob has been getting tattooed by me for a few years now. Its always a a great experience working with Rob, he always has fun and challenging ideas for his tattoos. I tattooed this dragon on Rob recently. I always enjoy tattooing dragons, its a timeless subject with infinite possibilities of composition and usually makes a strong tattoo. Congrats to Rob and his wife Kristen for their newborn son!
Thanks

Lettering is one of the most popular request from clients especially people who are new to collecting tattoo art. This subject can be fun to design and tattoo but can also a be frustrating endeavor trying to fulfill the patrons exceptions. We strive to adorn people’s skin with a permanent marks that compliment and beautify the person. Script tattoos tend to look best when we keep the number of letters to a minimum. Minimal letters allow us to make the tattoo more decorative and stylized, also the tattoo will more likely look solid for the rest of your life as you and the tattoo ages. One to four words is ideal for a tattoo rather than an entire song or 1/3 of the bible. A person that has a complex direction with an excessive amount of words should consider a visual illustration instead of a paragraph. We are artist and we enjoy working with our clients to create art, not reproduce literary works. You’ll never see a book on display in an art museum.
These two ladies were a pleasure to work with. They had simple ideas that are very meaningful and they allowed me to get creative with their tattoos. I truly enjoyed working with them.
