I always seem to find a way to end a year with a tattoo I really enjoy doing. Usually a good moment for reflection as well on the years growth, artistically and personally. This one has been in my flash for a while, and found the right home on an old friend I got to catch up with. It’s not very influencer, optimal performing, algorithm feeding of me to just post a photo these days. But fuck that, I like it. Sometimes that’s enough. In the vast wasteland of content I think it’s important to slow down for a minute and just enjoy what you are doing in the act of creation, your phone is a cigarette for your eyes anyways. https://swamphawk.tattoonow.com/gallery/tattoos/frog-out-of-the-flash-for-the-homie-mikey-i-ve-always-got~5b3b82d6-31b8-40ae-862b-68e830ddb4b1 https://images.tattoonow.com/tenants/swamphawk/images/2026/08/e0e49cdc-86d5-43e6-abe4-7c8af8f10aa2.jpg Frog out of the flash for the homie Mikey, I’ve always got… Frog out of the flash for the homie Mikey, I’ve always got designs available! https://swamphawk.tattoonow.com/gallery/art/some-friends-asked-if-i-wanted-to-join-them-in-a-weekly~67df49fa-d817-4386-b23a-57eaba8fe968 https://images.tattoonow.com/tenants/swamphawk/images/2026/08/1d4f9ebb-e971-47a6-b2dc-b3ed955dc784.jpg Some friends asked if I wanted to join them in a weekly… Some friends asked if I wanted to join them in a weekly drawing prompt.

I started tattooing him when he was 18 and that blossomed into a great friendship. I put a fly fishing rod in his hand a few years back and now he’s one of my favorite fishing buddies. Life’s funny like that. These tattoos were done over a period of time but it was great to see them lived in and looking good. Every good thing in my life can be traced back in one way or another to tattooing. Everything. The relationships and places it has taken me are as impactful and lasting as the artwork I put on people and the longer I do it, the deeper the magic runs. https://swamphawk.tattoonow.com/gallery/tattoos/i-encountered-a-flower-crab-spider-while-out-hiking-with-my~fafc9c27-5976-443e-8d54-5e7a4d2d74d9 https://images.tattoonow.com/tenants/swamphawk/images/2026/08/49fc828e-1983-4014-89ce-a447a76306e2.jpg I encountered a flower crab spider while out hiking with my… I encountered a flower crab spider while out hiking with my fiancée.
