W DC Hotel Event

The luxurious W Hotel in Washington D.C reopened with a grand event full of celebrities, political officials and musical performance by John Legend. Our team lead by Key Makeup Artist, Min Min Ma, used the dramatic influence of the grand hotel into the makeup of the models and performers. Using a modern rendition of a 18th Century French Palace, I painted the intricate detailed patterns of lace onto the "Painted Ladies". We enjoyed the rest of the night on the elegant roof top viewing all of Washington D.C. Visit this exquisite 5 star hotel if you ever are in our nations capital.

Fashion's Night Out

Fashion's Night Out is a global initiative to promote retail, restore consumer confidence and celebrate fashion! Temptu and Sephora had a special event for that night to recreate some of the most memorable makeup and body art looks in fashion and movies.

I had the honor of recreating the famous Italian Vogue tattoo story in the Sephora store front window on 5th Avenue. It took about 7 hours to recreate the entire look from makeup to covering the models body from head to toe in tattoos.

Another recreation of mine was also in the other window and greeting visitors inside.

This was a Global Fashion Celebration and a wonderful night to remember!

September Issue of Interview Magazine

The latest issue of Interview Magazine has been released with a tattoo story featuring Chace Crawford from the hit TV show, Gossip Girls. I had the pleasure of tattoooing Chace along with makeup artist, Mark Carrasquillo to bring out the dashingly good looking bad boy. I think James Dean would have had some serious competition. Tattoos, bad boys and fashion...never gets so good! Pick up your issue on shelves now. (Click on image for more close ups of the tattoos)

W Magazine Brings It!

W magazine is one of my favorite fashion editorials and I recently had the honor of being a part of their private company party with the fierce theme "BRING IT".  Eric Krevat, Special Projects Director, requested unique tattoos for this special night.  I had custom "BRING IT" tattoos made by Temptu and adorned the guest with the theme for the night along with additional edgy tattoos.
