My older brother Sam just happens to be the best Barista around these parts (GTA).  He has recently set up his own coffee shop and business is booming! He owns and operates the aptly named Sam James Coffee Bar in downtown Toronto.  His shop sports classic checkered floors and a do-it-yourself attitude that screams, ‘I make great coffee.’ This is the real deal, brah. Check his site out and better yet, next time you’re in the downtown area for a stroll, stop in and grab a cup. You will be amazed by the atmosphere and product. He is located at 297 Harbord Street (between Clinton & Manning) in Toronto, Ontario.

So I started this lil’ fella a couple months back on Chris and have been excited to finish it ever since. I only get to work on it in short bursts but I am definitely stoked when I do. It’s a cover-up of an unusual arm band with a tree design in the centre. These photos capture the tattoo in the developmental stages. Thanks, Chris!

Welcome to Jamesbilt.com and thank you for checking out my new website. I will be posting some of my tattoos and artwork, and who knows – you might even see some gnarly hillbilly shit too! If you would like to get in touch with me, just navigate your browser to the contacts section and drop me a line. Word up, protect ya neck!

Some of us know what it’s like to be a small town tattooer in the dead of winter.  Things were pretty slow at the start of the week so I ripped this small Uncle Allan piece on Kevin. I especially enjoy doing these smaller traditional pieces when the art is as good as Uncle Allan’s.
