Contact me with your idea!</p> Posting this if anyone is interested... Mexican cuisine makes great use of chili and lime, so it makes perfect sense that Tajín seasoning was created by a Mexican company. For those of you not familiar with the product, it is a simple seasoning mix consisting of dried and ground red chilies, sea salt, dehydrated lime juice, and a tiny bit of an anti-caking agent. There are no artificial flavors, no artificial colorants, no sugar, and no difficult-to-pronounce ingredients. Thankfully that Mexican company has been exporting their product all over the world, so it's no longer just Mexicans that can enjoy Tajín. Types of Tajin The Tajín product line has several products but their general use is the same across the board. First, and perhaps the most well-known product in their seasoning line is the Tajín Clásico. Then there are the low-sodium version and habanero chile mix. All three contain the same ingredients list, with the only differences being that one uses less salt and another habanero chilies instead of the combination of red peppers that the Clásico uses. When you taste any of the three your mouth puckers with a zesty and savory citrus taste, then it ends with a mild heat. How To Use Tajin Spices So how exactly can you use this mildly spicy seasoning? It's good on almost everything, you can think of. In Mexico, locals love to sprinkle it over fresh fruits and vegetables. It adds a wonderfully fresh, citrusy, and piquant taste to the fruit that combines perfectly with the fruit's natural sweetness. As Tajín likes to say, it adds a "zing" to everything. For a summer treat it goes well over juicy slices of watermelon and mangos, crunchy bites of apples or slices of cucumbers and jicama. You can sprinkle it over any of your favorite fruits or vegetables. Use the seasoning mix in marinades or spice rubs for chicken, fish, shrimp, and even steak for a completely different flavor. For those of you that love popcorn, next time sprinkle some Tajín over the kernels -- it's delicious! There really isn't much that Tajín doesn't taste great on. Using Tajin in Drinks Additionally, Tajín can be used to coat the rims of glasses for drinks like Micheladas, Bloody Mary, Margaritas, or even non-alcoholic drinks that could benefit from a pretty glass rim decoration. Shake it over a bowl of chicken soup and you'll absolutely love the taste. So why should you use Tajin? Simply put, it just makes so many things taste better. Remember that although it is marked as spicy, it really is still a less spicy than a fresh jalapeño. Even if not everyone in your family eats spicy food, they may quite enjoy Tajín's mildly spicy heat. It's worth a try even if you don't normally enjoy spicy food. https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Jordan 4 bred sneaker tattoo.JPG Mike DeVries - Jordan 4 Sneaker Tattoo Northridge, CA Mini Jordan 4 Bred Sneaker Tattoo. Fun Stuff! Air Jordan 4 (IV) History The year was 1989, and Tinker Hatfield was back at his tricks storming up an idea for the Air Jordan 4. How would he top the Air Jordan III? Air Jordan Original 4 IV MilitaryTinker wanted to get further into performance, rather than some other inspiration that was used on the last three models. The Air Jordan IV was the first in the line that had an over-molded mesh. The reason for this is, the consumer would think the shoe was made cheap. So what Tinker did was dip the mesh in a soft plastic and blew air through it to clear out the plastic in between. When the Air Jordan 4 was first released in 1989, people disliked the shoe, said it looked very ugly. Overtime the model grew on a lot of people. Another feature of the AJ IVs was the capability to lace your IVs in 18 different patterns. This gave your IVs your own style. Air Jordan 4 Fire RedThe overall personality of the Air Jordan 4 was saying “get back to work”. Michael was a father and husband for the first time in his life, and since the Air Jordan III was such a luxurious model, MJ and Tinker wanted to bring back to the original draw board. When the AJ IVs were first released in 1989 they retailed at $110.00. In 1999-2000 when the IVs made another appearance they sold for $100.00, also in 2004 they retailed for $110.00. In 2005 Air Jordan did a collaboration with Undftd, auctioning off the shoes between $1500.00 to $2600.00. Also a AJ 4 Laser package was released with a t-shirt and hat that retailed for $200.00, and later that year Jordan Brand released a black color way of the laser IVs that retailed for $175.00. In 2006 a pair of “Rare Air” IVs released with a price tag of $125.00. https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/african grey parrot_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Parrot Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>Parrot in a top hat tattoo.

They collected a lot of African, and Columbian art. When her Grandpa passed away her Grandma sold the African mask, and it was something that broke her heart. Her Grandpa was an important man to her, and now it doesnt matter thats it's not in her Grandparents house anymore beacuse it's on her now to enjoy forever! </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/prairie dog tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Prairie Dog Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Utah Prairie Dog Tattoo.

So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Kabuki_tattoo1.jpg Mike DeVries - Kabuki Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Kabuki Tattoo.

Fun Facts about The Jolly Rancher!: Bill Harmsen founded the Jolly Rancher Company in 1949 with the goal of having a name that seemed friendly and welcoming to customers. His candies were originally sold in Denver, Colorado, making his other products like ice cream hard to sell in the cold winter months https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/tattoos_134131.html http://galleryoftattoosnow.com/mdtattoos.com/images/gallery/Blow_pop_sucker_realistic_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - BLOW POP SUCKER TATTOO Northridge, CA <p>Lot's of fun with this sucker tattoo!

Contact me with your idea!</p> Posting this if anyone is interested... Mexican cuisine makes great use of chili and lime, so it makes perfect sense that Tajín seasoning was created by a Mexican company. For those of you not familiar with the product, it is a simple seasoning mix consisting of dried and ground red chilies, sea salt, dehydrated lime juice, and a tiny bit of an anti-caking agent. There are no artificial flavors, no artificial colorants, no sugar, and no difficult-to-pronounce ingredients. Thankfully that Mexican company has been exporting their product all over the world, so it's no longer just Mexicans that can enjoy Tajín. Types of Tajin The Tajín product line has several products but their general use is the same across the board. First, and perhaps the most well-known product in their seasoning line is the Tajín Clásico. Then there are the low-sodium version and habanero chile mix. All three contain the same ingredients list, with the only differences being that one uses less salt and another habanero chilies instead of the combination of red peppers that the Clásico uses. When you taste any of the three your mouth puckers with a zesty and savory citrus taste, then it ends with a mild heat. How To Use Tajin Spices So how exactly can you use this mildly spicy seasoning? It's good on almost everything, you can think of. In Mexico, locals love to sprinkle it over fresh fruits and vegetables. It adds a wonderfully fresh, citrusy, and piquant taste to the fruit that combines perfectly with the fruit's natural sweetness. As Tajín likes to say, it adds a "zing" to everything. For a summer treat it goes well over juicy slices of watermelon and mangos, crunchy bites of apples or slices of cucumbers and jicama. You can sprinkle it over any of your favorite fruits or vegetables. Use the seasoning mix in marinades or spice rubs for chicken, fish, shrimp, and even steak for a completely different flavor. For those of you that love popcorn, next time sprinkle some Tajín over the kernels -- it's delicious! There really isn't much that Tajín doesn't taste great on. Using Tajin in Drinks Additionally, Tajín can be used to coat the rims of glasses for drinks like Micheladas, Bloody Mary, Margaritas, or even non-alcoholic drinks that could benefit from a pretty glass rim decoration. Shake it over a bowl of chicken soup and you'll absolutely love the taste. So why should you use Tajin? Simply put, it just makes so many things taste better. Remember that although it is marked as spicy, it really is still a less spicy than a fresh jalapeño. Even if not everyone in your family eats spicy food, they may quite enjoy Tajín's mildly spicy heat. It's worth a try even if you don't normally enjoy spicy food. https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/tattoos_134272.html http://galleryoftattoosnow.com/mdtattoos.com/images/gallery/Jordan 4 bred sneaker tattoo.JPG Mike DeVries - Jordan 4 Sneaker Tattoo Northridge, CA Mini Jordan 4 Bred Sneaker Tattoo. Fun Stuff! Air Jordan 4 (IV) History The year was 1989, and Tinker Hatfield was back at his tricks storming up an idea for the Air Jordan 4. How would he top the Air Jordan III? Air Jordan Original 4 IV MilitaryTinker wanted to get further into performance, rather than some other inspiration that was used on the last three models. The Air Jordan IV was the first in the line that had an over-molded mesh. The reason for this is, the consumer would think the shoe was made cheap. So what Tinker did was dip the mesh in a soft plastic and blew air through it to clear out the plastic in between. When the Air Jordan 4 was first released in 1989, people disliked the shoe, said it looked very ugly. Overtime the model grew on a lot of people. Another feature of the AJ IVs was the capability to lace your IVs in 18 different patterns. This gave your IVs your own style. Air Jordan 4 Fire RedThe overall personality of the Air Jordan 4 was saying “get back to work”. Michael was a father and husband for the first time in his life, and since the Air Jordan III was such a luxurious model, MJ and Tinker wanted to bring back to the original draw board. When the AJ IVs were first released in 1989 they retailed at $110.00. In 1999-2000 when the IVs made another appearance they sold for $100.00, also in 2004 they retailed for $110.00. In 2005 Air Jordan did a collaboration with Undftd, auctioning off the shoes between $1500.00 to $2600.00. Also a AJ 4 Laser package was released with a t-shirt and hat that retailed for $200.00, and later that year Jordan Brand released a black color way of the laser IVs that retailed for $175.00. In 2006 a pair of “Rare Air” IVs released with a price tag of $125.00. https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/tattoos_134132.html http://galleryoftattoosnow.com/mdtattoos.com/images/gallery/african grey parrot_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Parrot Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>Parrot in a top hat tattoo.

I had this gorilla done in two sessions, but we took a third to just dial it in a little more. So 3 total passes to complete this tattoo.

Most of the mask is healed in this photo, flowers and a little bit of the black are fresh. Here is a little run down on why she got this tattoo. She decided to get this piece because it was her Grandpa's  favorite art piece as well as hers. This Mask was hung in her Grandparents house since she was a little girl. They collected a lot of African, and Columbian art. When her Grandpa passed away her Grandma sold the African mask, and it was something that broke her heart. Her Grandpa was an important man to her, and now it doesnt matter thats it's not in her Grandparents house anymore beacuse it's on her now to enjoy forever! </p> https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/tattoos_69045.html http://galleryoftattoosnow.com/mdtattoos.com/images/gallery/prairie dog tattoo_ph.jpg Mike DeVries - Prairie Dog Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Utah Prairie Dog Tattoo. Deb, my client is a wildlife biologist and she worked with many animals, one specifically, this Utah Prairie dog, she worked with them for about 7 years. There are 5 different species of prairie dogs, but this species, the Utah dog is a threatened species. Too many people just use them as target practice. At one time they numbered over 95,000, now there are fewer than 5,000. She's wanted this piece for years and I was happy to make her day!</p> <p>  </p> https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/tattoos_68917.html http://galleryoftattoosnow.com/mdtattoos.com/images/gallery/mechanical owl.JPG Mike DeVries - Mechanical Owl Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> It's always nice to change things up and do different types of tattoos, even though it seems that everyone wants to see realism from me. This was a fun bio owl, done on the hand of a buddy/client that comes from Vegas. Thanks Ryan! Used some of the new "cool gray" colors from Eternal Ink. Good Stuff! This tattoo will probably need one more pass to be fully dialed in, given the hand is a tough spot to heal  and especially when he goes and works in construction the following days. But it will get there!</p> <p>  </p> https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/tattoos_68188.html http://galleryoftattoosnow.com/mdtattoos.com/images/gallery/Captain Quint_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Captain Quint Northridge, CA <p> Captain Quint from Jaws Tattoo...

There was a lot of resemblance's between them, so he had to get this Yoda on him, he needed this pose and everything, . He also wanted his nick name in there too, so I decided to add the nickname "Izzy" in the hair. Definitely a fun tattoo to work on. Star Wars kicks ass! Still gonna do a little fine tuning on this tattoo when it's all healed up, needs about an hour more. Where it stands now it took about 5 hours. </p> https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/tattoos_65143.html http://galleryoftattoosnow.com/mdtattoos.com/images/gallery/James-Hetfield__M.Shadows_portrait-tattoos.jpg Mike DeVries - James Hetfield & M.Shadows Northridge, CA <p> These two guys, James Hetfield and M.

This is a picture of her first Minolta camera that her Grandmother left her after she passed away when Melissa was just 13 years old. </p> <p> She wanted pink flowers and the camera and this is what I came up with.</p> <p> She recently did some family photos for us, you can check out her photography at www.MelissaPalomo.com </p> https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/tattoos_64721.html http://galleryoftattoosnow.com/mdtattoos.com/images/gallery/King-Kong-Tattoo_ph.jpg Mike DeVries - King Kong Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> This tattoo started out just to be a filler piece, the more I spoke with Jared(client) he mentioned he didn't like the skin rips to the left of the open area we were going to fill. So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/tattoos_64401.html http://galleryoftattoosnow.com/mdtattoos.com/images/gallery/Kabuki_tattoo1.jpg Mike DeVries - Kabuki Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Kabuki Tattoo.

The Piece above this portrait I didn't do but I'm assuming I'll be bringing it down and around Tim Burton one day. He says eventually he wants all characters from Tim Burton movies. As I was making the stencil for this piece and I was about to Stencil Tim's Eyes, I decided to throw some Burton Characters in the glasses instead, he was stoked on the idea so we went for it. They are super small so I needed to do something simple so we went with Nightmare before christmas and Corpse Bride characters, I was happy with the results and I'm hoping to get back into this piece again,to tighten up the images in the glasses and saturate the skin a bit more.

Contact me with your idea!</p> Posting this if anyone is interested... Mexican cuisine makes great use of chili and lime, so it makes perfect sense that Tajín seasoning was created by a Mexican company. For those of you not familiar with the product, it is a simple seasoning mix consisting of dried and ground red chilies, sea salt, dehydrated lime juice, and a tiny bit of an anti-caking agent. There are no artificial flavors, no artificial colorants, no sugar, and no difficult-to-pronounce ingredients. Thankfully that Mexican company has been exporting their product all over the world, so it's no longer just Mexicans that can enjoy Tajín. Types of Tajin The Tajín product line has several products but their general use is the same across the board. First, and perhaps the most well-known product in their seasoning line is the Tajín Clásico. Then there are the low-sodium version and habanero chile mix. All three contain the same ingredients list, with the only differences being that one uses less salt and another habanero chilies instead of the combination of red peppers that the Clásico uses. When you taste any of the three your mouth puckers with a zesty and savory citrus taste, then it ends with a mild heat. How To Use Tajin Spices So how exactly can you use this mildly spicy seasoning? It's good on almost everything, you can think of. In Mexico, locals love to sprinkle it over fresh fruits and vegetables. It adds a wonderfully fresh, citrusy, and piquant taste to the fruit that combines perfectly with the fruit's natural sweetness. As Tajín likes to say, it adds a "zing" to everything. For a summer treat it goes well over juicy slices of watermelon and mangos, crunchy bites of apples or slices of cucumbers and jicama. You can sprinkle it over any of your favorite fruits or vegetables. Use the seasoning mix in marinades or spice rubs for chicken, fish, shrimp, and even steak for a completely different flavor. For those of you that love popcorn, next time sprinkle some Tajín over the kernels -- it's delicious! There really isn't much that Tajín doesn't taste great on. Using Tajin in Drinks Additionally, Tajín can be used to coat the rims of glasses for drinks like Micheladas, Bloody Mary, Margaritas, or even non-alcoholic drinks that could benefit from a pretty glass rim decoration. Shake it over a bowl of chicken soup and you'll absolutely love the taste. So why should you use Tajin? Simply put, it just makes so many things taste better. Remember that although it is marked as spicy, it really is still a less spicy than a fresh jalapeño. Even if not everyone in your family eats spicy food, they may quite enjoy Tajín's mildly spicy heat. It's worth a try even if you don't normally enjoy spicy food. https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/real_eye_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Realistic eye tattoo Northridge, CA <p>Realistic eye tattoo.

There was a lot of resemblance's between them, so he had to get this Yoda on him, he needed this pose and everything, . He also wanted his nick name in there too, so I decided to add the nickname "Izzy" in the hair. Definitely a fun tattoo to work on. Star Wars kicks ass! Still gonna do a little fine tuning on this tattoo when it's all healed up, needs about an hour more. Where it stands now it took about 5 hours. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/King_Kong_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - King Kong Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> This tattoo started out just to be a filler piece, the more I spoke with Jared(client) he mentioned he didn't like the skin rips to the left of the open area we were going to fill. So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/samurai_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Samurai Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Samurai tattoo back piece ,did this on a really good friend of mine.

This tattoo will probably need one more pass to be fully dialed in, given the hand is a tough spot to heal  and especially when he goes and works in construction the following days.

There was a lot of resemblance's between them, so he had to get this Yoda on him, he needed this pose and everything, . He also wanted his nick name in there too, so I decided to add the nickname "Izzy" in the hair. Definitely a fun tattoo to work on. Star Wars kicks ass! Still gonna do a little fine tuning on this tattoo when it's all healed up, needs about an hour more. Where it stands now it took about 5 hours. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/James-Hetfield__M.Shadows_portrait-tattoos.jpg Mike DeVries - James Hetfield & M.Shadows Northridge, CA <p> These two guys, James Hetfield and M.

Definitely some fun portraits to tackle!</p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/King_Kong_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - King Kong Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> This tattoo started out just to be a filler piece, the more I spoke with Jared(client) he mentioned he didn't like the skin rips to the left of the open area we were going to fill. So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Red Queen tattoo-1.jpg Mike DeVries - Red Queen Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>  </p> <div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "> <p> The Red Queen.

As I was making the stencil for this piece and I was about to Stencil Tim's Eyes, I decided to throw some Burton Characters in the glasses instead, he was stoked on the idea so we went for it.

Fun Stuff! Air Jordan 4 (IV) History The year was 1989, and Tinker Hatfield was back at his tricks storming up an idea for the Air Jordan 4. How would he top the Air Jordan III? Air Jordan Original 4 IV MilitaryTinker wanted to get further into performance, rather than some other inspiration that was used on the last three models. The Air Jordan IV was the first in the line that had an over-molded mesh. The reason for this is, the consumer would think the shoe was made cheap. So what Tinker did was dip the mesh in a soft plastic and blew air through it to clear out the plastic in between. When the Air Jordan 4 was first released in 1989, people disliked the shoe, said it looked very ugly. Overtime the model grew on a lot of people. Another feature of the AJ IVs was the capability to lace your IVs in 18 different patterns. This gave your IVs your own style. Air Jordan 4 Fire RedThe overall personality of the Air Jordan 4 was saying “get back to work”. Michael was a father and husband for the first time in his life, and since the Air Jordan III was such a luxurious model, MJ and Tinker wanted to bring back to the original draw board. When the AJ IVs were first released in 1989 they retailed at $110.00. In 1999-2000 when the IVs made another appearance they sold for $100.00, also in 2004 they retailed for $110.00.

So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Kabuki_tattoo1.jpg Mike DeVries - Kabuki Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Kabuki Tattoo.

So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/elephant_tattoos2.jpg Mike DeVries - Elephant Tattoos Northridge, CA <p>  </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #232323"> Probably going to do another pass on these elephants eventually.

I had this gorilla done in two sessions, but we took a third to just dial it in a little more. So 3 total passes to complete this tattoo.

Most of the mask is healed in this photo, flowers and a little bit of the black are fresh. Here is a little run down on why she got this tattoo. She decided to get this piece because it was her Grandpa's  favorite art piece as well as hers. This Mask was hung in her Grandparents house since she was a little girl. They collected a lot of African, and Columbian art. When her Grandpa passed away her Grandma sold the African mask, and it was something that broke her heart. Her Grandpa was an important man to her, and now it doesnt matter thats it's not in her Grandparents house anymore beacuse it's on her now to enjoy forever! </p> https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/Custom_Tattoos/index3.html https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Skull-tattoo-color.jpg Mike DeVries - Skull Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Had some fun with this realistic-ish skull tattoo.

He has a nice collection going by some amazing tattoo artists. Tattoo took about 6 hours to complete. Had to tie in some leafy stuff that was below it. Actually the piece under it is the recent King Kong tattoo I did on him. The portraits on the bottom right, that you can see just the tops of the heads, I didnt do... All in all this neck tattoo was a Fun piece to do!”</p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Rose camera tattoo_th.jpg Mike DeVries - Camera Rose Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Did this tattoo on a Photographer named Melissa Palomo. This is a picture of her first Minolta camera that her Grandmother left her after she passed away when Melissa was just 13 years old. </p> <p> She wanted pink flowers and the camera and this is what I came up with.</p> <p> She recently did some family photos for us, you can check out her photography at www.MelissaPalomo.com </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/King_Kong_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - King Kong Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> This tattoo started out just to be a filler piece, the more I spoke with Jared(client) he mentioned he didn't like the skin rips to the left of the open area we were going to fill. So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Kabuki_tattoo1.jpg Mike DeVries - Kabuki Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Kabuki Tattoo.

This tattoo was also inspired by a painting my apprentice Jamie Parker did that sits next to my station, of a Japanese lantern with moths, so I took the concept and made it my own. Its pretty cool when the apprentice inspires the teacher!

He has a nice collection going by some amazing tattoo artists. Tattoo took about 6 hours to complete. Had to tie in some leafy stuff that was below it. Actually the piece under it is the recent King Kong tattoo I did on him. The portraits on the bottom right, that you can see just the tops of the heads, I didnt do... All in all this neck tattoo was a Fun piece to do!”</p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/King_Kong_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - King Kong Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> This tattoo started out just to be a filler piece, the more I spoke with Jared(client) he mentioned he didn't like the skin rips to the left of the open area we were going to fill. So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Evil-Face_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Crazy Face Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> If I remember correctly this is a Portrait of a German musician.

Most of the mask is healed in this photo, flowers and a little bit of the black are fresh. Here is a little run down on why she got this tattoo. She decided to get this piece because it was her Grandpa's  favorite art piece as well as hers. This Mask was hung in her Grandparents house since she was a little girl. They collected a lot of African, and Columbian art. When her Grandpa passed away her Grandma sold the African mask, and it was something that broke her heart. Her Grandpa was an important man to her, and now it doesnt matter thats it's not in her Grandparents house anymore beacuse it's on her now to enjoy forever! </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/jeffs_bro.jpg Mike DeVries - Jeff's Bro Northridge, CA <p> Portrait of his brother as a kid, he is now an auto mechanic, hence the wrench and sockets.

This was a fun bio owl, done on the hand of a buddy/client that comes from Vegas. Thanks Ryan! Used some of the new "cool gray" colors from Eternal Ink. Good Stuff! This tattoo will probably need one more pass to be fully dialed in, given the hand is a tough spot to heal  and especially when he goes and works in construction the following days. But it will get there!</p> <p>  </p> https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/Fantasy_Tattoos/index2.html https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Crazy bio eye tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Eye Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Drew up this neck piece for Jarod, a great client from Boston.

There was a lot of resemblance's between them, so he had to get this Yoda on him, he needed this pose and everything, . He also wanted his nick name in there too, so I decided to add the nickname "Izzy" in the hair. Definitely a fun tattoo to work on. Star Wars kicks ass! Still gonna do a little fine tuning on this tattoo when it's all healed up, needs about an hour more. Where it stands now it took about 5 hours. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/King_Kong_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - King Kong Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> This tattoo started out just to be a filler piece, the more I spoke with Jared(client) he mentioned he didn't like the skin rips to the left of the open area we were going to fill. So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Kabuki_tattoo1.jpg Mike DeVries - Kabuki Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Kabuki Tattoo.

There was a lot of resemblance's between them, so he had to get this Yoda on him, he needed this pose and everything, . He also wanted his nick name in there too, so I decided to add the nickname "Izzy" in the hair. Definitely a fun tattoo to work on. Star Wars kicks ass! Still gonna do a little fine tuning on this tattoo when it's all healed up, needs about an hour more. Where it stands now it took about 5 hours. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/King_Kong_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - King Kong Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> This tattoo started out just to be a filler piece, the more I spoke with Jared(client) he mentioned he didn't like the skin rips to the left of the open area we were going to fill. So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/samurai_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Samurai Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Samurai tattoo back piece ,did this on a really good friend of mine.

Most of the mask is healed in this photo, flowers and a little bit of the black are fresh. Here is a little run down on why she got this tattoo. She decided to get this piece because it was her Grandpa's  favorite art piece as well as hers. This Mask was hung in her Grandparents house since she was a little girl. They collected a lot of African, and Columbian art. When her Grandpa passed away her Grandma sold the African mask, and it was something that broke her heart. Her Grandpa was an important man to her, and now it doesnt matter thats it's not in her Grandparents house anymore beacuse it's on her now to enjoy forever! </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/falcor1.jpg Mike DeVries - Falcor Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> This is a start to a Never Ending Story sleeve.

They collected a lot of African, and Columbian art. When her Grandpa passed away her Grandma sold the African mask, and it was something that broke her heart. Her Grandpa was an important man to her, and now it doesnt matter thats it's not in her Grandparents house anymore beacuse it's on her now to enjoy forever! </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/prairie dog tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Prairie Dog Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Utah Prairie Dog Tattoo.

Contact me with your idea!</p> Posting this if anyone is interested... Mexican cuisine makes great use of chili and lime, so it makes perfect sense that Tajín seasoning was created by a Mexican company. For those of you not familiar with the product, it is a simple seasoning mix consisting of dried and ground red chilies, sea salt, dehydrated lime juice, and a tiny bit of an anti-caking agent. There are no artificial flavors, no artificial colorants, no sugar, and no difficult-to-pronounce ingredients. Thankfully that Mexican company has been exporting their product all over the world, so it's no longer just Mexicans that can enjoy Tajín. Types of Tajin The Tajín product line has several products but their general use is the same across the board. First, and perhaps the most well-known product in their seasoning line is the Tajín Clásico. Then there are the low-sodium version and habanero chile mix. All three contain the same ingredients list, with the only differences being that one uses less salt and another habanero chilies instead of the combination of red peppers that the Clásico uses. When you taste any of the three your mouth puckers with a zesty and savory citrus taste, then it ends with a mild heat. How To Use Tajin Spices So how exactly can you use this mildly spicy seasoning? It's good on almost everything, you can think of. In Mexico, locals love to sprinkle it over fresh fruits and vegetables. It adds a wonderfully fresh, citrusy, and piquant taste to the fruit that combines perfectly with the fruit's natural sweetness. As Tajín likes to say, it adds a "zing" to everything. For a summer treat it goes well over juicy slices of watermelon and mangos, crunchy bites of apples or slices of cucumbers and jicama. You can sprinkle it over any of your favorite fruits or vegetables. Use the seasoning mix in marinades or spice rubs for chicken, fish, shrimp, and even steak for a completely different flavor. For those of you that love popcorn, next time sprinkle some Tajín over the kernels -- it's delicious! There really isn't much that Tajín doesn't taste great on. Using Tajin in Drinks Additionally, Tajín can be used to coat the rims of glasses for drinks like Micheladas, Bloody Mary, Margaritas, or even non-alcoholic drinks that could benefit from a pretty glass rim decoration. Shake it over a bowl of chicken soup and you'll absolutely love the taste. So why should you use Tajin? Simply put, it just makes so many things taste better. Remember that although it is marked as spicy, it really is still a less spicy than a fresh jalapeño. Even if not everyone in your family eats spicy food, they may quite enjoy Tajín's mildly spicy heat. It's worth a try even if you don't normally enjoy spicy food. https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/tmnt ice cream tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - TMNT ICE CREAM TATTOO Northridge, CA <p>Mini TMNT Ice Cream Tattoo.

For those of you that love popcorn, next time sprinkle some Tajín over the kernels -- it's delicious! There really isn't much that Tajín doesn't taste great on. Using Tajin in Drinks Additionally, Tajín can be used to coat the rims of glasses for drinks like Micheladas, Bloody Mary, Margaritas, or even non-alcoholic drinks that could benefit from a pretty glass rim decoration. Shake it over a bowl of chicken soup and you'll absolutely love the taste. So why should you use Tajin? Simply put, it just makes so many things taste better. Remember that although it is marked as spicy, it really is still a less spicy than a fresh jalapeño. Even if not everyone in your family eats spicy food, they may quite enjoy Tajín's mildly spicy heat. It's worth a try even if you don't normally enjoy spicy food. https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Jordan 4 bred sneaker tattoo.JPG Mike DeVries - Jordan 4 Sneaker Tattoo Northridge, CA Mini Jordan 4 Bred Sneaker Tattoo. Fun Stuff! Air Jordan 4 (IV) History The year was 1989, and Tinker Hatfield was back at his tricks storming up an idea for the Air Jordan 4. How would he top the Air Jordan III? Air Jordan Original 4 IV MilitaryTinker wanted to get further into performance, rather than some other inspiration that was used on the last three models. The Air Jordan IV was the first in the line that had an over-molded mesh. The reason for this is, the consumer would think the shoe was made cheap. So what Tinker did was dip the mesh in a soft plastic and blew air through it to clear out the plastic in between. When the Air Jordan 4 was first released in 1989, people disliked the shoe, said it looked very ugly. Overtime the model grew on a lot of people. Another feature of the AJ IVs was the capability to lace your IVs in 18 different patterns. This gave your IVs your own style. Air Jordan 4 Fire RedThe overall personality of the Air Jordan 4 was saying “get back to work”. Michael was a father and husband for the first time in his life, and since the Air Jordan III was such a luxurious model, MJ and Tinker wanted to bring back to the original draw board. When the AJ IVs were first released in 1989 they retailed at $110.00. In 1999-2000 when the IVs made another appearance they sold for $100.00, also in 2004 they retailed for $110.00. In 2005 Air Jordan did a collaboration with Undftd, auctioning off the shoes between $1500.00 to $2600.00. Also a AJ 4 Laser package was released with a t-shirt and hat that retailed for $200.00, and later that year Jordan Brand released a black color way of the laser IVs that retailed for $175.00. In 2006 a pair of “Rare Air” IVs released with a price tag of $125.00. https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/eye_hand_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Eye Hand Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>Eye Hand Tattoo.

Most of the mask is healed in this photo, flowers and a little bit of the black are fresh. Here is a little run down on why she got this tattoo. She decided to get this piece because it was her Grandpa's  favorite art piece as well as hers. This Mask was hung in her Grandparents house since she was a little girl. They collected a lot of African, and Columbian art. When her Grandpa passed away her Grandma sold the African mask, and it was something that broke her heart. Her Grandpa was an important man to her, and now it doesnt matter thats it's not in her Grandparents house anymore beacuse it's on her now to enjoy forever! </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Bio organic-mechanical owl tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Mechanical Owl Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> It's always nice to change things up and do different types of tattoos, even though it seems that everyone wants to see realism from me. This was a fun bio owl, done on the hand of a buddy/client that comes from Vegas. Thanks Ryan! Used some of the new "cool gray" colors from Eternal Ink. Good Stuff! This tattoo will probably need one more pass to be fully dialed in, given the hand is a tough spot to heal  and especially when he goes and works in construction the following days.

This tattoo was also inspired by a painting my apprentice Jamie Parker did that sits next to my station, of a Japanese lantern with moths, so I took the concept and made it my own. Its pretty cool when the apprentice inspires the teacher!

Where it stands now it took about 5 hours. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/King_Kong_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - King Kong Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> This tattoo started out just to be a filler piece, the more I spoke with Jared(client) he mentioned he didn't like the skin rips to the left of the open area we were going to fill. So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Red Queen tattoo-1.jpg Mike DeVries - Red Queen Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>  </p> <div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "> <p> The Red Queen.

So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Red Queen tattoo-1.jpg Mike DeVries - Red Queen Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>  </p> <div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "> <p> The Red Queen.

His candies were originally sold in Denver, Colorado, making his other products like ice cream hard to sell in the cold winter months https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Tajin tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - TAJIN CLASICO TATTOO Northridge, CA <p>Would love to tattoo more realistic food items in color. Contact me with your idea!</p> Posting this if anyone is interested... Mexican cuisine makes great use of chili and lime, so it makes perfect sense that Tajín seasoning was created by a Mexican company. For those of you not familiar with the product, it is a simple seasoning mix consisting of dried and ground red chilies, sea salt, dehydrated lime juice, and a tiny bit of an anti-caking agent. There are no artificial flavors, no artificial colorants, no sugar, and no difficult-to-pronounce ingredients. Thankfully that Mexican company has been exporting their product all over the world, so it's no longer just Mexicans that can enjoy Tajín. Types of Tajin The Tajín product line has several products but their general use is the same across the board. First, and perhaps the most well-known product in their seasoning line is the Tajín Clásico. Then there are the low-sodium version and habanero chile mix. All three contain the same ingredients list, with the only differences being that one uses less salt and another habanero chilies instead of the combination of red peppers that the Clásico uses. When you taste any of the three your mouth puckers with a zesty and savory citrus taste, then it ends with a mild heat. How To Use Tajin Spices So how exactly can you use this mildly spicy seasoning? It's good on almost everything, you can think of. In Mexico, locals love to sprinkle it over fresh fruits and vegetables. It adds a wonderfully fresh, citrusy, and piquant taste to the fruit that combines perfectly with the fruit's natural sweetness. As Tajín likes to say, it adds a "zing" to everything. For a summer treat it goes well over juicy slices of watermelon and mangos, crunchy bites of apples or slices of cucumbers and jicama. You can sprinkle it over any of your favorite fruits or vegetables. Use the seasoning mix in marinades or spice rubs for chicken, fish, shrimp, and even steak for a completely different flavor. For those of you that love popcorn, next time sprinkle some Tajín over the kernels -- it's delicious! There really isn't much that Tajín doesn't taste great on. Using Tajin in Drinks Additionally, Tajín can be used to coat the rims of glasses for drinks like Micheladas, Bloody Mary, Margaritas, or even non-alcoholic drinks that could benefit from a pretty glass rim decoration. Shake it over a bowl of chicken soup and you'll absolutely love the taste. So why should you use Tajin? Simply put, it just makes so many things taste better. Remember that although it is marked as spicy, it really is still a less spicy than a fresh jalapeño. Even if not everyone in your family eats spicy food, they may quite enjoy Tajín's mildly spicy heat. It's worth a try even if you don't normally enjoy spicy food. https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Jordan 4 bred sneaker tattoo.JPG Mike DeVries - Jordan 4 Sneaker Tattoo Northridge, CA Mini Jordan 4 Bred Sneaker Tattoo. Fun Stuff! Air Jordan 4 (IV) History The year was 1989, and Tinker Hatfield was back at his tricks storming up an idea for the Air Jordan 4. How would he top the Air Jordan III? Air Jordan Original 4 IV MilitaryTinker wanted to get further into performance, rather than some other inspiration that was used on the last three models. The Air Jordan IV was the first in the line that had an over-molded mesh. The reason for this is, the consumer would think the shoe was made cheap. So what Tinker did was dip the mesh in a soft plastic and blew air through it to clear out the plastic in between. When the Air Jordan 4 was first released in 1989, people disliked the shoe, said it looked very ugly. Overtime the model grew on a lot of people. Another feature of the AJ IVs was the capability to lace your IVs in 18 different patterns. This gave your IVs your own style. Air Jordan 4 Fire RedThe overall personality of the Air Jordan 4 was saying “get back to work”. Michael was a father and husband for the first time in his life, and since the Air Jordan III was such a luxurious model, MJ and Tinker wanted to bring back to the original draw board. When the AJ IVs were first released in 1989 they retailed at $110.00. In 1999-2000 when the IVs made another appearance they sold for $100.00, also in 2004 they retailed for $110.00. In 2005 Air Jordan did a collaboration with Undftd, auctioning off the shoes between $1500.00 to $2600.00. Also a AJ 4 Laser package was released with a t-shirt and hat that retailed for $200.00, and later that year Jordan Brand released a black color way of the laser IVs that retailed for $175.00. In 2006 a pair of “Rare Air” IVs released with a price tag of $125.00. https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/tmnt ice cream tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - TMNT ICE CREAM TATTOO Northridge, CA <p>Mini TMNT Ice Cream Tattoo.

They collected a lot of African, and Columbian art. When her Grandpa passed away her Grandma sold the African mask, and it was something that broke her heart.

At one time they numbered over 95,000, now there are fewer than 5,000. She's wanted this piece for years and I was happy to make her day!</p> <p>  </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Bio organic-mechanical owl tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Mechanical Owl Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> It's always nice to change things up and do different types of tattoos, even though it seems that everyone wants to see realism from me. This was a fun bio owl, done on the hand of a buddy/client that comes from Vegas. Thanks Ryan! Used some of the new "cool gray" colors from Eternal Ink. Good Stuff! This tattoo will probably need one more pass to be fully dialed in, given the hand is a tough spot to heal  and especially when he goes and works in construction the following days. But it will get there!</p> <p>  </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Captain_Quint_tattoo_jaws.jpg Mike DeVries - Captain Quint Northridge, CA <p> Captain Quint from Jaws Tattoo...

He has a nice collection going by some amazing tattoo artists. Tattoo took about 6 hours to complete. Had to tie in some leafy stuff that was below it. Actually the piece under it is the recent King Kong tattoo I did on him. The portraits on the bottom right, that you can see just the tops of the heads, I didnt do... All in all this neck tattoo was a Fun piece to do!”</p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Yoda-tattoo_star-wars2.jpg Mike DeVries - Yoda Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>  </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #232323"> Todd got this Yoda tattoo to remember a family member that he lost. There was a lot of resemblance's between them, so he had to get this Yoda on him, he needed this pose and everything, . He also wanted his nick name in there too, so I decided to add the nickname "Izzy" in the hair. Definitely a fun tattoo to work on. Star Wars kicks ass! Still gonna do a little fine tuning on this tattoo when it's all healed up, needs about an hour more. Where it stands now it took about 5 hours. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Rose camera tattoo_th.jpg Mike DeVries - Camera Rose Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Did this tattoo on a Photographer named Melissa Palomo. This is a picture of her first Minolta camera that her Grandmother left her after she passed away when Melissa was just 13 years old. </p> <p> She wanted pink flowers and the camera and this is what I came up with.</p> <p> She recently did some family photos for us, you can check out her photography at www.MelissaPalomo.com </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/King_Kong_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - King Kong Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> This tattoo started out just to be a filler piece, the more I spoke with Jared(client) he mentioned he didn't like the skin rips to the left of the open area we were going to fill. So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Pineapple_tattoo_thumb.jpg Mike DeVries - Pineapple Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Fun little Pineapple tattoo </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/samurai_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Samurai Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Samurai tattoo back piece ,did this on a really good friend of mine.

Contact me with your idea!</p> Posting this if anyone is interested... Mexican cuisine makes great use of chili and lime, so it makes perfect sense that Tajín seasoning was created by a Mexican company. For those of you not familiar with the product, it is a simple seasoning mix consisting of dried and ground red chilies, sea salt, dehydrated lime juice, and a tiny bit of an anti-caking agent. There are no artificial flavors, no artificial colorants, no sugar, and no difficult-to-pronounce ingredients. Thankfully that Mexican company has been exporting their product all over the world, so it's no longer just Mexicans that can enjoy Tajín. Types of Tajin The Tajín product line has several products but their general use is the same across the board. First, and perhaps the most well-known product in their seasoning line is the Tajín Clásico. Then there are the low-sodium version and habanero chile mix. All three contain the same ingredients list, with the only differences being that one uses less salt and another habanero chilies instead of the combination of red peppers that the Clásico uses. When you taste any of the three your mouth puckers with a zesty and savory citrus taste, then it ends with a mild heat. How To Use Tajin Spices So how exactly can you use this mildly spicy seasoning? It's good on almost everything, you can think of. In Mexico, locals love to sprinkle it over fresh fruits and vegetables. It adds a wonderfully fresh, citrusy, and piquant taste to the fruit that combines perfectly with the fruit's natural sweetness. As Tajín likes to say, it adds a "zing" to everything. For a summer treat it goes well over juicy slices of watermelon and mangos, crunchy bites of apples or slices of cucumbers and jicama. You can sprinkle it over any of your favorite fruits or vegetables. Use the seasoning mix in marinades or spice rubs for chicken, fish, shrimp, and even steak for a completely different flavor. For those of you that love popcorn, next time sprinkle some Tajín over the kernels -- it's delicious! There really isn't much that Tajín doesn't taste great on. Using Tajin in Drinks Additionally, Tajín can be used to coat the rims of glasses for drinks like Micheladas, Bloody Mary, Margaritas, or even non-alcoholic drinks that could benefit from a pretty glass rim decoration. Shake it over a bowl of chicken soup and you'll absolutely love the taste. So why should you use Tajin? Simply put, it just makes so many things taste better. Remember that although it is marked as spicy, it really is still a less spicy than a fresh jalapeño. Even if not everyone in your family eats spicy food, they may quite enjoy Tajín's mildly spicy heat. It's worth a try even if you don't normally enjoy spicy food. https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Jordan 4 bred sneaker tattoo.JPG Mike DeVries - Jordan 4 Sneaker Tattoo Northridge, CA Mini Jordan 4 Bred Sneaker Tattoo. Fun Stuff! Air Jordan 4 (IV) History The year was 1989, and Tinker Hatfield was back at his tricks storming up an idea for the Air Jordan 4. How would he top the Air Jordan III? Air Jordan Original 4 IV MilitaryTinker wanted to get further into performance, rather than some other inspiration that was used on the last three models. The Air Jordan IV was the first in the line that had an over-molded mesh. The reason for this is, the consumer would think the shoe was made cheap. So what Tinker did was dip the mesh in a soft plastic and blew air through it to clear out the plastic in between. When the Air Jordan 4 was first released in 1989, people disliked the shoe, said it looked very ugly. Overtime the model grew on a lot of people. Another feature of the AJ IVs was the capability to lace your IVs in 18 different patterns. This gave your IVs your own style. Air Jordan 4 Fire RedThe overall personality of the Air Jordan 4 was saying “get back to work”. Michael was a father and husband for the first time in his life, and since the Air Jordan III was such a luxurious model, MJ and Tinker wanted to bring back to the original draw board. When the AJ IVs were first released in 1989 they retailed at $110.00. In 1999-2000 when the IVs made another appearance they sold for $100.00, also in 2004 they retailed for $110.00. In 2005 Air Jordan did a collaboration with Undftd, auctioning off the shoes between $1500.00 to $2600.00. Also a AJ 4 Laser package was released with a t-shirt and hat that retailed for $200.00, and later that year Jordan Brand released a black color way of the laser IVs that retailed for $175.00. In 2006 a pair of “Rare Air” IVs released with a price tag of $125.00. https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Goat skull tattoo_sm.jpg Mike DeVries - Goat Skull Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>Worked on this goat skull and Sopor Aeternus - getting it ready to go full sleeve.</p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Eye tattoos_th.jpg Mike DeVries - Eye Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>Finished up this eye tattoo recently.

Contact me with your idea!</p> Posting this if anyone is interested... Mexican cuisine makes great use of chili and lime, so it makes perfect sense that Tajín seasoning was created by a Mexican company. For those of you not familiar with the product, it is a simple seasoning mix consisting of dried and ground red chilies, sea salt, dehydrated lime juice, and a tiny bit of an anti-caking agent. There are no artificial flavors, no artificial colorants, no sugar, and no difficult-to-pronounce ingredients. Thankfully that Mexican company has been exporting their product all over the world, so it's no longer just Mexicans that can enjoy Tajín. Types of Tajin The Tajín product line has several products but their general use is the same across the board. First, and perhaps the most well-known product in their seasoning line is the Tajín Clásico. Then there are the low-sodium version and habanero chile mix. All three contain the same ingredients list, with the only differences being that one uses less salt and another habanero chilies instead of the combination of red peppers that the Clásico uses. When you taste any of the three your mouth puckers with a zesty and savory citrus taste, then it ends with a mild heat. How To Use Tajin Spices So how exactly can you use this mildly spicy seasoning? It's good on almost everything, you can think of. In Mexico, locals love to sprinkle it over fresh fruits and vegetables. It adds a wonderfully fresh, citrusy, and piquant taste to the fruit that combines perfectly with the fruit's natural sweetness. As Tajín likes to say, it adds a "zing" to everything. For a summer treat it goes well over juicy slices of watermelon and mangos, crunchy bites of apples or slices of cucumbers and jicama. You can sprinkle it over any of your favorite fruits or vegetables. Use the seasoning mix in marinades or spice rubs for chicken, fish, shrimp, and even steak for a completely different flavor. For those of you that love popcorn, next time sprinkle some Tajín over the kernels -- it's delicious! There really isn't much that Tajín doesn't taste great on. Using Tajin in Drinks Additionally, Tajín can be used to coat the rims of glasses for drinks like Micheladas, Bloody Mary, Margaritas, or even non-alcoholic drinks that could benefit from a pretty glass rim decoration. Shake it over a bowl of chicken soup and you'll absolutely love the taste. So why should you use Tajin? Simply put, it just makes so many things taste better. Remember that although it is marked as spicy, it really is still a less spicy than a fresh jalapeño. Even if not everyone in your family eats spicy food, they may quite enjoy Tajín's mildly spicy heat. It's worth a try even if you don't normally enjoy spicy food. https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Jordan 4 bred sneaker tattoo.JPG Mike DeVries - Jordan 4 Sneaker Tattoo Northridge, CA Mini Jordan 4 Bred Sneaker Tattoo. Fun Stuff! Air Jordan 4 (IV) History The year was 1989, and Tinker Hatfield was back at his tricks storming up an idea for the Air Jordan 4. How would he top the Air Jordan III? Air Jordan Original 4 IV MilitaryTinker wanted to get further into performance, rather than some other inspiration that was used on the last three models. The Air Jordan IV was the first in the line that had an over-molded mesh. The reason for this is, the consumer would think the shoe was made cheap. So what Tinker did was dip the mesh in a soft plastic and blew air through it to clear out the plastic in between. When the Air Jordan 4 was first released in 1989, people disliked the shoe, said it looked very ugly. Overtime the model grew on a lot of people. Another feature of the AJ IVs was the capability to lace your IVs in 18 different patterns. This gave your IVs your own style. Air Jordan 4 Fire RedThe overall personality of the Air Jordan 4 was saying “get back to work”. Michael was a father and husband for the first time in his life, and since the Air Jordan III was such a luxurious model, MJ and Tinker wanted to bring back to the original draw board. When the AJ IVs were first released in 1989 they retailed at $110.00. In 1999-2000 when the IVs made another appearance they sold for $100.00, also in 2004 they retailed for $110.00. In 2005 Air Jordan did a collaboration with Undftd, auctioning off the shoes between $1500.00 to $2600.00. Also a AJ 4 Laser package was released with a t-shirt and hat that retailed for $200.00, and later that year Jordan Brand released a black color way of the laser IVs that retailed for $175.00. In 2006 a pair of “Rare Air” IVs released with a price tag of $125.00. https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/african grey parrot_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Parrot Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>Parrot in a top hat tattoo.

So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Kabuki_tattoo1.jpg Mike DeVries - Kabuki Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Kabuki Tattoo.

There was a lot of resemblance's between them, so he had to get this Yoda on him, he needed this pose and everything, . He also wanted his nick name in there too, so I decided to add the nickname "Izzy" in the hair. Definitely a fun tattoo to work on. Star Wars kicks ass! Still gonna do a little fine tuning on this tattoo when it's all healed up, needs about an hour more. Where it stands now it took about 5 hours. </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/King_Kong_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - King Kong Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> This tattoo started out just to be a filler piece, the more I spoke with Jared(client) he mentioned he didn't like the skin rips to the left of the open area we were going to fill. So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/Severed_Head_Tattoos/index.html https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Evil Face tattoo_th.jpg Mike DeVries - Evil Face Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>Close up of an evil face tattoo that I did recently.</p> https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/Skin_Rips_Tattoos/index.html https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Skull Skin rip.jpg Mike DeVries - Skull Skin Rip Northridge, CA <p> He gave me a challenge of working a 3d type of tattoo with a skull and skin rips, this is what I came up with.

Contact me with your idea!</p> Posting this if anyone is interested... Mexican cuisine makes great use of chili and lime, so it makes perfect sense that Tajín seasoning was created by a Mexican company. For those of you not familiar with the product, it is a simple seasoning mix consisting of dried and ground red chilies, sea salt, dehydrated lime juice, and a tiny bit of an anti-caking agent. There are no artificial flavors, no artificial colorants, no sugar, and no difficult-to-pronounce ingredients. Thankfully that Mexican company has been exporting their product all over the world, so it's no longer just Mexicans that can enjoy Tajín. Types of Tajin The Tajín product line has several products but their general use is the same across the board. First, and perhaps the most well-known product in their seasoning line is the Tajín Clásico. Then there are the low-sodium version and habanero chile mix. All three contain the same ingredients list, with the only differences being that one uses less salt and another habanero chilies instead of the combination of red peppers that the Clásico uses. When you taste any of the three your mouth puckers with a zesty and savory citrus taste, then it ends with a mild heat. How To Use Tajin Spices So how exactly can you use this mildly spicy seasoning? It's good on almost everything, you can think of. In Mexico, locals love to sprinkle it over fresh fruits and vegetables. It adds a wonderfully fresh, citrusy, and piquant taste to the fruit that combines perfectly with the fruit's natural sweetness. As Tajín likes to say, it adds a "zing" to everything. For a summer treat it goes well over juicy slices of watermelon and mangos, crunchy bites of apples or slices of cucumbers and jicama. You can sprinkle it over any of your favorite fruits or vegetables. Use the seasoning mix in marinades or spice rubs for chicken, fish, shrimp, and even steak for a completely different flavor. For those of you that love popcorn, next time sprinkle some Tajín over the kernels -- it's delicious! There really isn't much that Tajín doesn't taste great on. Using Tajin in Drinks Additionally, Tajín can be used to coat the rims of glasses for drinks like Micheladas, Bloody Mary, Margaritas, or even non-alcoholic drinks that could benefit from a pretty glass rim decoration. Shake it over a bowl of chicken soup and you'll absolutely love the taste. So why should you use Tajin? Simply put, it just makes so many things taste better. Remember that although it is marked as spicy, it really is still a less spicy than a fresh jalapeño. Even if not everyone in your family eats spicy food, they may quite enjoy Tajín's mildly spicy heat. It's worth a try even if you don't normally enjoy spicy food. https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/realistic eye tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Mini Realistic Eye Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>Mini Realistic Eye Tattoo.

This was a fun bio owl, done on the hand of a buddy/client that comes from Vegas. Thanks Ryan! Used some of the new "cool gray" colors from Eternal Ink. Good Stuff! This tattoo will probably need one more pass to be fully dialed in, given the hand is a tough spot to heal  and especially when he goes and works in construction the following days. But it will get there!</p> <p>  </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Beast tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - Beast Tattoo Healed Northridge, CA <p> Beast Tattoo on the hand all healed up.

There was a lot of resemblance's between them, so he had to get this Yoda on him, he needed this pose and everything, . He also wanted his nick name in there too, so I decided to add the nickname "Izzy" in the hair. Definitely a fun tattoo to work on. Star Wars kicks ass! Still gonna do a little fine tuning on this tattoo when it's all healed up, needs about an hour more. Where it stands now it took about 5 hours. </p> https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/Spiritual_Tattoos/index.html https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/guardian angel statue tattoo_th.jpg Mike DeVries - Statue Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Statue Tattoo...  Super fun Piece!  I love tattooing hands!</p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/angel tattoo_sm1.jpg Mike DeVries - Angel Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> Had some fun with this custom angel tattoo.

We slowly added to her arm and this is the end result. There is a monochromatic blue pinup on the inside of her arm. The picture of that is in the gallery section, Ill post fully healed pics when I see her again. Check out my facebook page www.facebook.com/mikedevries.art Thats where ill post healed pics and I post a lot of miscellaneous tattoo related photos on there. https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/Tribal_Tattoos/index.html https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/African Mask Tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - African Mask Northridge, CA <p> This African mask tattoo was a lot of work, took several sessions to complete. Most of the mask is healed in this photo, flowers and a little bit of the black are fresh. Here is a little run down on why she got this tattoo. She decided to get this piece because it was her Grandpa's  favorite art piece as well as hers. This Mask was hung in her Grandparents house since she was a little girl. They collected a lot of African, and Columbian art. When her Grandpa passed away her Grandma sold the African mask, and it was something that broke her heart. Her Grandpa was an important man to her, and now it doesnt matter thats it's not in her Grandparents house anymore beacuse it's on her now to enjoy forever! </p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/King_Kong_tattoo.jpg Mike DeVries - King Kong Tattoo Northridge, CA <p> This tattoo started out just to be a filler piece, the more I spoke with Jared(client) he mentioned he didn't like the skin rips to the left of the open area we were going to fill. So we decided to take King Kong all the way over and cover the old piece he had. All the existing tattoos around Kong were done by other tattoo artists, this was the first one I put on Jared's back.  This was a fun tattoo, I worked with the old black lines of the skin rips to make them into the leaves and used some of the old smoke flow as parts of the hair. Some of the blue that shined through from the old tattoo gave me the idea to work with more blue by placing the color onto King Kong's face for continuity. Over all I was happy with the outcome of this tattoo. </p> https://www.mdtattoos.com/Tattoos/Vintage_Tattoos/index.html https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Roy Orbison_th.jpg Mike DeVries - Roy Orbison Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>Roy Orbison tattoo.</p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/typewritter tattoo_th.jpg Mike DeVries - Typewriter Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>Vintage Underwood typewriter tattoo.</p> https://www.tattoos.gallery/mdtattoos.com/images/thumbs/Vincent Price tattoo_th .jpg Mike DeVries - Vincent Price Tattoo Northridge, CA <p>Vincent Price portrait tattoo in a hand mirror.
