Venting By Way of Shaky Lines.


The book of crazy customer cartoons is on it's way!!!
Venting By Way of Shaky Lines
is currently in the printing process.
I have been scribbling down some of the most
cartoonish characters that have stepped foot into
Hell Bomb Tattoo for quite some time.

This book is a small sample of the drawings
I do on nearly a daily basis.
This book is over 30 pages of absurdity. Tattooers
will surely recognize many of these characters,
regardless of the fact that they haven't met
these specific human beings in person.
Some are unique Wichita, KS weirdos.
There are many facets of tattooing that bring us
together. What more than the clients that pay our bills?

Lets all celebrate the weirdness that walks through
our doors day in, day out. We love what what we do
and this is part of it.

Starting today I will be accepting pre-orders.
$20.00 (S&H included).

Look up at the right-hand side of this page and
hit that "BUY NOW" button. 20 bucks
isn't unreasonable for an all-too
familiar chuckle these days and I'd truly
appreciate it.

Yours, Heath Leffel

The last few days...

Some script from last week. Simple fancy...














A small eagle walk-in. Wes Carter flash. Fun, fun.














This was a challenge. Not exactly what
the dude asked for but we were both
happy in the end. Success!






















Walk-in rework. I'm not posting this because the reworked
tattoo looks super good. This is just one of a billion
examples why no one should get home-made tattoos. Free is
free for a very obvious reason.
