🍙Bob Jones🍙

King Louie II Had the pleasure of meeting this adorable pup and getting to memorialize him as a king. So stoked that I get to tattoo so many corgis! If you’re looking to get a corgi tattoo, I know a guy. Thanks for making the trip to Portland Bryan and Louie! . . . . #secondskintac #neumatattoomachines #fusionink #crybabytattooproducts #blackclaw

Firelord Zuko Such a fun corgi mash up! We finished this in one very long session 😴 . These are the actual markings on his corgi, Zuko. Thanks again Austin! We will have to play some magic sometime! . . . . #secondskintac #neumatattoomachines #fusionink #crybabytattooproducts #blackclawcartridges

PRESENTER: Bob Jones, @badcaseofpurpose is a highly accomplished tattoo artist based in Portland, Oregon, where he tattoos out of Shokunin Tattoo. Originally from Beaverton, Jones gained widespread national recognition as a finalist on Ink Master: Season 13 (Turf War) and later returned for Season 14. Although the Season 13 finale was canceled due to the pandemic, he was celebrated as one of the top three competitors, showcasing a level of technical skill and creative vision that cemented his place among the industry’s elite. Jones is primarily known for his innovative approach to biomechanical and bio-organic tattooing, often blending futuristic "robotic" prosthetics with Japanese-inspired flow. His style has evolved to include an anime-inspired illustrative aesthetic, featuring cyberpunk characters, mecha, and Japanese yokai. His work focuses on the body's silhouette, treating the skin as a single, cohesive canvas rather than a collection of individual pieces. Whether executing large-scale bodysuits or intricate illustrative characters, he remains dedicated to high-level artistry and a distinct precision. Bob is carving a path as one of the industry’s great teachers.

Thank you Brandon! . . . . #secondskintac #neumatattoomachines #fusionink #crybabytattooproducts # blackclawcartridges

We are very excited to add @badcaseofpurpose to our Pro Team!! Welcome to the team !! Make sure you go follow @badcaseofpurpose #fusionink

It felt like I didn’t do anything in 2025 other than tattooing. Had to make a recap to remind myself how full of a year it was! So grateful for all of my family, friends, pets and everyone I met this year! Thank you for all the memories! Hopefully I can pack more excitement into 2026!

Astel Naturalborn of the Void Chipping away at this epic Elden Ring sleeve! Would love to do more Elden/Souls game art! Not the easiest things to put configure into a tattoo able design with their crazy amount of texture and proportions. I guess it wouldn’t be a souls/borne tattoo if it wasn’t challenging. . . . . #secondskintac #neumatattoomachines #fusionink #crybabytattooproducts #blackclawcartridges

Cyber beetle from the @richmondtattooconvention 🚨I’ll be opening my books up next week to book for this winter and spring. I can’t wait to start some new projects!
