Robotic Arm
By Nick Baxter - Nick Baxter
This sleeve presents a more realistic and modern take on a classic biomech tattoo motif, showing human flesh ripped away to reveal robotics underneath. My client Jason is an inspiration—strong in body and mind, committed to achieving what he set out to do, despite having no prior experience, and despite having to fly here from his job guiding bomb-sniffing dogs in the war torn Middle East in order to squeeze a pair of 3-day marathon sessions into his allotted time off. These 2 sessions were spaced one month apart, completing a foundation color layer over the entire arm the first time, and dialing in colors, refining details, and finishing the sleeve during the second session. These photos were taken while the tattoo was still fresh, so there is more pink skin irritation here than it will have when healed.

Three days of becoming a better artists, tattooers, and people! The Rock River Tattoo Art Expo will combine aspects of artist-focused professional development events with the style of a larger tattoo convention, open to the public. The two convention floors will be filled with artist and vendor booths, with the artists showcasing not only tattooing but work in other mediums as well. Some booths will feature live painting alongside the tattoo booths. There will be additional vendor booths in some of the hallways and auxiliary spaces along with a museum exhibit showcasing some important tattoo artifacts including some of local significance. Throughout the weekend there will be activity on the main stage including interviews, talks by high-profile speakers, a historical discussion, tattoo art critiques, and a daily showcase of work that was completed on the convention floor.
