Tattoos By Jamie Macpherson

Hi! Thanks for coming to check out my work! I'm Jamie Macpherson. I've been drawing and painting all my life and tattooing since 1999. I am currently tattooing in Burnaby, BC Canada at the famous Dutchman Tattoos.
The tattoo world has allowed me to make art as a living and taught me so much about culture and art history. It has also allowed me to travel around the world and work with lots of like minded artists, mentors and meet some of the world's best tattooers.
I mostly focus on large scale custom works, focusing on getting exactly what the client wants and coming up with the strongest artistic arrangement of those elements. I usually sketch up a preliminary thumbnail design before tackling the finished design so that I can collaborate more easily with my clients, after all I am offering you a service, not a product.
I love my work and my goal is to make sure everyone leaves my shop with a smile. I happily offer a free consultation, and look forward to meeting you!

DIGITAL DEMIGODS






   Almost ready to launch my new webpage "Digital Demigods"!  I've been working on a series of Therianthropes and sacred math based artworks in multiple mediums, from digital, oil on canvas, even silk screens on t-shirts.  From years of studying art history through tattooing and reference research, I am unifying cultural themes, masks, beings even symbols to show that we are all telling the same complex story.
  I have been especially interested in our ancestors and their ancient wisdom traditions, building complex structures that cannot be explained with modern methods, and the idea that maybe we were more technologically advanced than the history books have led us to believe.  
   I hope my art will inspire others to think outside the box and at the very least, give the viewer something interesting to look at.   I will be tattooing some of these complex concepts in a simplified form to anyone interested.  You can email me here: borneoheadhunter@graffiti.net   and I will do my best to reply to anyone intersted.   Also I have some T-shirts for sale here: http://www.uggagula.fr/12_jamie-macpherson

This summer has been pretty awesome so far! Got to tattoo with my good friend Ishi, who came down from Japan, and we have 2 new additions to the shop, Ryan Cardinal from Shinobi Studios, and Aaliy Rose from the east coast.  Been working on tons of new drawings, paintings and tattoos. But I still want to take on lots more clients so hit me up if you want to get tattooed by me!  1 (604)369-3691  or unity-tattoo@gmail.com   Hope you guys all have an awesome summer!!
Traditional octopus deep sea diver helmet with anchor! Lots of pepper shading on this one!

WW2 pilot girl.  For this one I based the face on a bettie davis photo to give her that classic look.  Super fun style to work in!  I want to do more lady heads in this comic style!

 Chinese luck bat.  Super fun to tattoo!  Little bit of dotwork in the clouds.  3 hours

  Who says tribal has to be generic and boring?  One session, 5 hours.  This guy is tough!
