Don’t Fear the Reaper T Shirt


Before we get back to the exciting sequel to our San Francisco trip, I figure a brief detour of some tattoo-related projects might be in order.

A few months ago, I reworked a reaper design I found in a huge collection of classic tattoo flash.

The text in the banner comes from this mysterious little plaque stuck on a painting hanging in Sacred Heart Tattoo that reads simply "Don't Ask, Don't Know, Can't Tell". Combined with the reaper, the slogan seemed destined for a cool t shirt design so I set out to get something painted.

The printers did a solid job on the shirt, modeled below by ace tattooer and my ol' chum Nick Wasko.

A small run of the shirts were printed and are now completely gone. If there's any interest in a new batch please post a comment or fire me an email; I'll see what I can do about a re-run. Thanks for checking it out.
