flatlands look not a mountain in sight, this I found strange to navigate wile driving around there is no markers to let you know your going in the right way everything is just flat.
this is a photo of behind the shop were I smoked wile I was out in Saskatoon

this was the last tattoo I did at Tantrix this time around was super fun and quick and I was stoked to do it I never done a rose of no mans land before

one smoking foot Tyler smokes and he wanted something to represent that
did a little paradise scene in the smoke because smoking is bliss full

Tee got this fun girl head wile I was down too
its got butterflies and pixy dust every were

the rest of my photos turned out bad so thats all I got from my trip to Tantrix this year, thanks for the fun times anyone that came out and got tattooed and to the crew of the shop for treating me so well

combo tattooing

me and Marky did a tag team tattoo the other day
on guest artist Sylvain from Montreal was super fun to do we each drew part and tattooed part of it

the word on the street

As of March 10th I will no longer be at tattooing at Adrenaline. I'd like to thank Dave, the crew, and all the people I tattooed there over the past 3 years. I had a great time - thank you!

One of the reasons I went to work at Adrenaline in the first place was to work with Mark Ainsworth, one of the raddest people I know. So it is a great pleasure to say I will be working with him again, at his brand-spanking-new studio Rain City Tattoo, located on Broadway at Columbia here in Vancouver. His new shop is a bare-bones back-to-basics tattoo shop: just tattoos, art and fun times.

So after March 10th you can find me here:

Rain City Tattoos
101-223 West Broadway
Vancouver BC
604-569-1522

new hours will be wenesday to sunday 12-6 to book now for the new shop email me at kirk@kirksheppardtattoos.com

Hope to see you all soon!

so I draw a lot in my spare time at work in between appts or in the morrning before clients show up , most of the time its either in my sketch book or on random peices of paper that are cleaned up into out line drawing and end up on this wall

most of it is just fun stuff or silly drawings afew of them are for people or freinds

this pic is from a week or so ago so thier is about 20 or more new drawings up allready and will probly need to be cleared soon to start again
