American Electric Tattoo Co.

After 6 years with The Clandestine Rabbit Tattoo Studio in Tarzana Ca, I’ve finally called it quits & as of May 11th I will be full time tattooing at Craig Jackman’s American Electric Tattoo Company 3532 w. Sunset Silver Lake California 90026. I live in Los Feliz so this move was a long time coming, I just couldn’t find the right balance of walk ins & appointments close to my house with of course most importantly an open station. I’m truly bummed to leave Solgr, Clown, Gordo, Liz, Shaun & my mentor Greg Cusick…. Working along side these guys has been a hugggge blessing! I’ve learned everything I know from them & owe them the world. I look forward to moving on to the new chapter of my tattoo career & plan on making the best tattoos & flash I can. Email me at vampotna@gmail.com if anyone had any questions or if you’d like to set and appt. thank you all for the support.

Lost hawk, more talk

I’ve been slacking a bit on this blog the past 2 months I know, I’m just game planning a different & more awesome way to go about this blog business. Until now I’ve mainly just tried to show my work, works in progress, photos of myself with friends, reference for my artworks & every once in a while you’ll see a nipple of sorts…. Well all that’s boring me to my grave, shit is about to change here in a week or so. I’m working on a more pro website as we speak to focus displaying my artwork & I’ll use my blog to photo document & write about subject matter, places, artworks & artists I find interesting enough to invest a few minutes into. I’ll keep all the bullshit short & sweet but rather straight to the point & it’s the least I can do to give back to the energy it gives me.
Thank you all for your support, I’m so stoked on making art & new ideas reality right now, I’m happy to share it with my Internet friends.

Ghost hoff

Ran into my buddy David Hasselhoff the other day, had him sign my leg and I had Solgr tattoo it above the hoffdog tattoo he also made almost 2 years ago.

New year same ghost

2012 taught me everything I needed to understand about myself & my direction in life & art, now moving forward I’m excited for something awesome to happen this new year. Happy 2013. Here are some photos from December 2012.

Killing your ghost

You can seldom count on love, you can always count on hate… Fuck it lets rage.

Ghost shadow

Lots of painting, drawing & tattooing… & of course lots of fuckery.
Happy thanksgiving people. Lets get weird.
