Freshly Finished Tattoo First tattoos I’ve made recently
I’m surprised to be making so many first tattoos lately. I feel like my work is pretty loud and my expectation is for most people to play it safe with a first tattoo. Truly a pleasure and grateful to see people taking the plunge into the deep-end. My name is Chris Burton and you can find me at Dog Street Tattoo in New Paltz, NY

Your work is dope dude; I have debated making a Pilgrimage to New Paltz to see you more than once!

Love your work, do you consider janky bangers an inspiration at all? Your work is kind of similar

His work is incredible! The direct influences I would say are Ed Hardy, Jeff Rassier, and Nico Acosta. But no doubt I’m influenced by him as well.

Do you do coverups? I have a medium sized cross on my back between my shoulder blades that I am not fond of. I love your tattoos and I think the style would be a perfect coverup

Absolutely! Just need the right image to work with what you have. Coverups can be a satisfying challenge. If you use instagram I do most of my booking through there. Thanks!
