This artist was inspired at a young age by his favorite superheroes and rock band, KISS. His art has progressed from comic books to his specialty of lifelike portraits. Through his years of tattooing he has done a lot of traveling which could be what inspired his culturally influenced collection. Powerful Indian figures, shark infested Hawaiian island beauty, and on to the seductive life of Vegas gambling. And mixed in is an array of butterflies, each one containing its own hidden inspiration. Our Artist of the Week...Sam Sheinin!

Today we take the time to thank our Mothers, so divine.
Always knowing what to do or say and always at the right time.
Standing strong by our sides through thick and thin,
It’s time to pay our respects by inking "Mom" on our skin!
Thanks Mom's! Happy Mother's Day!

This self taught artist has been creating art for over 25 years, beginning with the walls of the family home and eventually moving on to T-shirts, cars and ultimately on to skin. His collection of nearly 300 designs is overflowing with emotion from naughty to nice. Angry warriors and demons wage war among images of passionate women and exposed angels. Gliding butterflies dance between pages of evil stares and fatal claws clinching tightly while sinister skulls hold strong beside images of mystical mermaids and unicorns.

This artist went from dumpster diving for masks and props behind a Halloween manufacturer to painting the pieces for the same company at age 14. From there he broke into the tattoo industry which took him on the path to owning his own studio. While his artistic skills go beyond tattoos he still says "I will always be captivated and connected to the art & industry of tattoo." Check out his collection of 25 designs including dueling lizards, inviting fairies and whimsical butterflies. Our Artist of the Week...Chris J'Tot!
