I had the incredible privilege of creating my own signature tattoo ink palette with Fusion's co-owner Adam Everett over the last two days. They are done, and on their way back to the production facility in Southern California to be introduced into the Fusion family! I got to do a quick 3 hour test tattoo on Adam himself and loved the way they worked. I designed them to work with the rest of the Fusion line but wanted to see them alone. A couple are made to transition from existing colors and to work as vibrant neutrals, so to speak. They are mature colors for a more earthy aspect to tattooing. I of course believe on striving for bright tattoos but those colors are already available and I often end up needing transition colors or earth tones to accentuate the bright ones I'm trying to get the viewer to focus on. I'm super stoked on these colors and also believe they will enhance any tattooer's existing palette and help in an efficient execution of any style of work you're going after.

Wow, you are such an artist man it's scary! Before I found your tattoos on internet I didn't realy know what I wanted and then you came along and made it clear to me that the only way I'll get another tattoo is by traveling to the other side of the damn globe and have skulls punched in to my skin by you. I don't know if I'll ever get the money to do that, but that is the only way I'll get tattooed again for sure! Keep the pix coming, they are awesome!!!
Awesome stuff Jeff!!
His work is beautiful and very fine

Hi Jeff, you probably don't remember me but I was the one at Doncaster today that jumped in while you had stopped tattoing for 5 to buy a t-shirt and get it signed ;p. I just want to say thanks for doing that, it was really appreciated. Like i said when you did it, YOU'RE A DIAMOND.

Hey Jeff love the Colours mate, when I first saw the range I thought it looked a bit strange at first if I'm honest. like you said they were designed in correlation with the rest of the fusion range, was you filling the gaps so to speak? or in your eyes completing the fusion range or what was their prime missing colours? Hurtado's range is very specific in terms of you can tell it's what he likes, where as your range looks more like the colours you'd have never thought of. if you had the chance to design another range, would you do the same thing again or would you use it as an opportunity to show everyone what you use but slightly more adjusted versions, say skull colours with more contrast or pastel shades?
