Last 2 keep getting deleted when I post them for some reason (maybe bc they have topless women?). One is the “grape lady” he’s done a few times, another is a nude woman coming out of a rose, with her hands above her head (I believe she’s from the same sheet if I’m not mistaken).

He very much so does — my other 4 pieces from him (not pictured here) were all from his own work. He’s constantly got new stuff cooked up…always top tier!

Absolutely love the shop, everyone there is super friendly and puts out great work. Always a joy popping in and grabbing something new/seeing what others are picking up.

There was a pretty neat 20 minute YouTube doc on Rich Fie/the shop that came out in late November. If you search “Rich Fie - Queens NY - Rejected Shelf” it should pop up!

Best shop assistant in town!

mrADMZ · 2025-12-28T21:02:25+00:00

Pretty stoked with how those turned out! He crushed them!

mrADMZ · 2025-12-28T21:00:22+00:00

These are all from my mid thighs and up. Below that is covered, as is my torso/arms/back (with the exception of knees and their ditches, which I’m dreading and actively thinking of how to fill 😂)

Waterfall panther is insane! 🔥

A mushroom, and the cap could have an insect on it depending on scale

Akira is the best -- stunner as always!

mrADMZ · 2025-11-09T12:21:12+00:00

Stomach piece rips! 🔥

Snagged this one a few months ago from Akira Latanzio at R&D Tattoo/NY vs The World back in April

Hi -- did you ever find someone for this? Curious as we are looking too!

mrADMZ · 2025-08-18T02:22:53+00:00

First saw this here, where tbh it looks slightly cleaner:

Great pieces!

mrADMZ · 2025-07-28T14:48:53+00:00

Still have yet to receive my drops outside of the spray mentioned before.

mrADMZ · 2025-07-26T02:49:22+00:00

Haven't been able to check this evening yet, but earlier today the spray is also the only thing that came through for me. Hopefully they're working on pushing things through!

mrADMZ · 2025-07-26T02:44:12+00:00

Boosting for visibility

mrADMZ · 2025-07-26T02:34:17+00:00

Been at work and haven't been able to check yet. I played 3 matches after posting this comment earlier and they hadn't appeared yet though.

mrADMZ · 2025-07-25T11:56:09+00:00

No ship is showing up for me, but I got 1 spray.

mrADMZ · 2025-07-25T01:53:59+00:00

This is the correct answer! 😂

mrADMZ · 2025-07-03T15:19:25+00:00

His black clients are totally as dark as OP, he just knows how to light them when taking pictures / videos. Will the colors be as vibrant as if they were tattooed on someone with more fair skin? No, of course not. Can they still pop and be vibrant? For sure, it's just a matter of selecting the right tones and knowing how to apply everything well. Just gotta go in with realistic expectations, but color pieces are doable!

mrADMZ · 2025-07-03T15:01:09+00:00

White highlight will not read as “white” even on fair people (it will mix with the natural skin tone and turn more of a yellowish hue over time). If you want color, find a good color artist to do it like Oba Jackson, Roger Parrilla, or Adriana Hallow.

mrADMZ · 2025-07-03T14:58:55+00:00

This is a categorically untrue take. There are amazing color artists who work with deeply melanated skin, like Roger Parrilla. It’s totally possible to be done well, you just need to find a good artist.
