Default Some progress

Here are a few new engravings I have done on my friend Dan Himes' hand built tattoo machines. He should have another batch ready for me in the next couple of weeks. I can hardly wait!

Nice going Chapi!
I like the top leafe on the second one very much, the three leafes on the end of the inlay.

Thanks for the kind words. I get a lot of enjoyment out of engraving and tattooing, and combining both is a real treat for me.

Thanks Paul, it really does change the way you look at an item when it gets engraved. Engraving adds a little life to an object and makes it feel "personal", more like jewelry than a "tool".
