I’ve loved the Grateful Dead since I was a young kid

I’ve loved the Grateful Dead since I was a young kid. I was fortunate enough to see Jerry and Phil and Bob before they moved on to the other side. So, I’m always happy when some Dead imagery finds its way onto the schedule. A couple healed ones here—Bertha and the dancing alligator. Thanks to John and Ken for bringing these in for me. Both of these tattoos are inspired by Jerry’s guitars. There’s a whole world of incredible imagery to pull from, and I never get tired of tattooing it. ⚡️💀Deadheads, you know where to find me at @gracelandtattoo
