Just the parts, still haven’t been able to get a “real” photo shoot of this one.  This project recently took home the Judge’s Choice Trophy at the 2010 Glendive Bike Show.  Congratulations to the owner, Krystal Haibeck, and thank you, Krystal, for giving Kirk the opportunity to do this project.  Clear coating, as always, by Jerome Zimmerman at KraZKustoms.

The Stinky Cheese Man is from a children’s story by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith.  The illustrations in the book are fantastic… Kirk did his best to do it justice.  A second session is planned to  add more texture into the Stinky Cheese Man and extend the stink waves up slightly higher.

…was fantastic!  Moving in with the folks at In the Flesh feels like “home.”  Kirk settled right in and got to work, everything’s fallen into place beautifully.  Thank you Joey & Crystal for making us feel welcome in your shop!

Currently, we’re still without signage on the front of the building.   If you’re driving by and see the sign for “In the Flesh Tattoo & Piercing”, you’re at the right place, come see us!  Two shops, one location.   You can find us at 25 1st Ave West in Dickinson.

We would like to add that through the end of April,  if you received a tattoo from Kirk at Michael Jays during the month of March, we will still honor the free touch up if one is necessary.  In fact, we ask that you do stop in so we can take a look at your artwork and see how you’ve healed.  Your satisfaction is extremely important to us.

Special thanks to our friend Mike Kopp of Mykuhls Photography … Mike showed up on our first day with his camera in hand and snapped a few shots of Kirk “in action.”
