Recently at 575 Haight Street

A few new tattoos I've done while working at Idle Hand Tattoo.


Kris loves burritos. Vegan burritos specifically. Now everyone knows...

Kris also loves his dog Wallace. Wallace is also called Pig. So about a week later Kris was back for round two. And since dog tattoos are one of my personal favorites to do, this was especially fun.


Andrew really loved the Snake Girls tattoo I did on Kourtnie last year, so I drew up his very own version to cap off his left cuff.


Still working at Idle Hand for now. Email me for questions or to set up an appointment: kaptenhanna@gmail.com

With so much drama in the LBC...

I got back last Monday from an intense weekend in Long Beach CA for the Ink-N-Iron tattoo convention. For those of you who don't know, Ink-N-Iron takes place on the original Queen Mary cruise ship in Long Beach harbor. The ship has been converted into an epic hotel, and hosts the three day tattoo and music festival.



On Friday I tattooed Joel, we did a very personal piece for his father


Saturday was busy, I started out doing a portrait of Kayleigh's cat, Bixby


Another cat, a Maneki Neko colored like Joshua's cat


A small ship, that I didn't get a good picture of, and lastly I started a fortune teller piece on Leo


On Sunday I did the smallest dog portraits I have ever done on the lovely Trisha


I had the pleasure of spending the weekend with my good friends Uncle Allan and Amalie of Conspiracy Inc. in Copenhagen, Denmark, along with Eckel from the same shop, Hata and Rei of Ink Rat in Tokyo, my girl Corey from Vancouver Canada, Klaus from the OC and the crew from Sid's in Santa Ana, CA. Long days of tattooing and late night meals at shabby diners, but in the company of good friends it's the best times ever! We even managed to top it off with a visit to the Long Beach Aquarium on Monday morning before saying our goodbyes...

Fresh Picked

Super fun circus girl piece I got to do at the 2010 Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Festival.


Also done in Philly, great little last minute piece.


Another piece I did in Philly. Based on Flash by Angelique Houtkamp.





Adam's gypsy girl finally finished. So glad we got to color this before I left!
Done at Squid & Whale Tattoo in Portland, ME.

Idle Hand Tattoo

The great and hospitable crew of Idle Hand Tattoo in lower Haight in San Francisco have been kind enough to let me hang out and work with them for a while. Here's a few tattoos I've done while there (excuse the poor iphone quality pictures):


Ben's hands


Young Offenders Football Club! On Tim.


And again on Isaac.


Adam's 3.5-legged dog Casper came for a visit. He is pretty amazing.

I'll be here for a little while, so contact me a.s.a.p. to get tattooed since I don't know for how long.
