Starting off the new year right

2011 started off with a bang as long-time client, Victor Fuentes, took home 2 awards at the Star of Texas Tattoo Art Revival here in Austin. Mr.Fuentes took 2nd for overall best tattooed male and 3rd for best overall back (not bad considering his back is still unfinished!). Britton (aka Snoopy) also took home the 3rd trophy for best overall black and grey and the judges told him that had he entered the Best Portrait contest he would've taken home 1st place overall. Blindside Tattoos plans to attend the Slingin' Ink Tattoo Expo in San Antonio in February of 2011 and possibly other shows in the region to be announced later.

The event took place January 7th-9th, 2011. Fuentes said he goes "every week, once a week , for a year" to have his tattoos worked on by Mr. Siego.

Frank Frazetta tribute by Alfonso Perez

                       Click to enlarge

Blind Side Tattoos artist Alfonso Perez has finished Frank Frazetta's iconic "Death Dealer" tattoo. Frank Frazetta was an artist who got his start drawing images for early comics such Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon and became one of the most widely recognized science fiction artists of the 20th century. Frazetta's notoriety brought him commissions from musical artists such as Molly Hatchet to design album art. The Death Dealer became a well known recurring character in many of Frazetta's paintings and the popularity of the character grew to the point where a number of comics and graphic novels were created about the mysterious figure. Alfonso Perez worked for 15 painstaking hours on this masterpiece which is worn by Blind Side Tattoo Apprentice Mark Strong and available to be viewed in person Mon-Sat from 2pm-10pm. The attention to detail in the tattoo is remarkable and is just one more example of the type of top-quality, one-of-a-kind tattoos done at Blind Side Tattoo Studio.
