The only thing tech bros disrupted was our ability to survive. They definitely did not disrupt the oligarchy. They were just like every greedy person that came before. What will we do to disrupt them?

Healed and fresh sketch style tattoos on a white man’s upper, outer arm. At the base of the design is a bat flying there is a group of nine smaller bats flying above the bottom bat. Above the bats on his deltoid is a watery moon design that was turned into a sketch style tattoo. Surrounding everything is stars. The linework on everything but the moon is finer line work. Tattoo designed by Dale at Chimera Tattoo Gallery in Rochester, New York.

Complete half sleeve! Well there is a little extra room, but this is a good single design made from two tattoos. The moon was a rescued old tattoo, and everything else is new.

Two tattoos made into one. The client had a fine line, dancing skeleton on his inner forearm. He had me add a rainbow stretched from one raised hand to the other raised hand. Super imposed over the rainbow is the word “imagination” in capital letters. Done by Dale at Chimera Tattoo Gallery in Rochester, NY.

I did not do the skeleton! I added the rainbow, and “imagination.” Super fun tattoo!
