“Hi it’s Adrian. Can you make me a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy tattoo with a dolphin in a dirty bath robe holding a book that says “Don’t Panic” while wearing a satchel that has a towel hanging over it? Cool, thanks.” This is one of my favorite and best tattoos to date! I’m so proud of my progress with machine tattooing and all the opportunities I get to challenge myself! Thank you so much to ALL my clients for that!!! Recently I have started utilizing both coil machines AND an iPad, literally 2 things I said I would never do. But here they are, helping me be a better artist! Never say never, ya’ll!!!! #furhousecustom #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxytattoo #dolphintattoo #dontpanic #trustytowel #calftattoo #fullcolortattoo
