90's bruv

so ere's what we dun tonight...innit.
ended up being "special guest" DJ's at supersonic, and actually had a really good time. don't get me wrong, if someone says to me "u gotta DJ 90's British indie n rock all night", i coulda quite easily just played some Morrissey....and then a little Morrissey n Morrissey....but we had a nice mix of all sorts, The La's, The Charlatans, New Order, Joy Division..... the list goes on. ooooh, and we squeezed in Snuff's cover of Wannabe, much to the crowds disgust. awesome!

good times. and as we drunkenly went for a late night snack....look what we came across!



apologies for the camera phone pics, but i didnt have a camera...... actually thats a lie...i did, but didn't realise i had a camera....so whatever.

in other news i finished off the half sleeve of coi i started a while ago.... will post that soon as it's spliced together..... and go pick ur self up a copy of Brouhaha magazine for the interview with me. i kept swearing down to a minimum and only say "douchebag" twice and "shit" once. i think thats more clever editing than anything, but whoever wins gets 10 points.

poke ya ball

so today i tattooed a lil' pokeball on danny's shin, it's squeezed between 2 other pieces, but ended up being a decent size.



it's perfectly round but looks distorted in the photo coz of the placement.

also got some pretty healed pics of his arm.... the parrot healed INSANELY bright. lovely jubbly.



did these little gems today too on a girl with the most gorgeous vintage dress ever..... shoulda taken a photo!



anyways, my last booking was running late so i cant stop and chat, gotta go to the wanch....so til next time y'all.

just a spoonful of sugar...

so quick post of what i got up to today.







thanks for lookin' y'all!

p.s i took a gazillion photos at rockit, so it may be a while before i sort through whats what, but i will post them..... sometime.

best photo ever.

hongky kong

ok quick post, here's the king kong we revamped..... it should been done last week but after all the confusion from his original app, i ended up double booking him, so it's 2 weeks late, not really my fault, but stuff gets hectic sometimes!



it was really hard to get a clean shot of this, and i'm starting to think i've been messing around with my camera settings a bit too much, coz i never used to have this problem...... well.... at least to this extent. so anyways, here's the best i got. thanks for looking.... and here's a fun fact

did you know that Donkey Kong was originally meant to be called Monkey Kong, but after a typo went through..... they just kept it?!

it's true, and i am full of fun filled monkey facts, but that's your lot for today.

oh, and yeah, i'm gonna be singing onstage at the Venetian tomorrow. somebody shoot me now. i tried to get outta it, (trust me, i'd rather pay for my tickets and be at the bar alone than get in for free and be on stage) but alas.... it's only 1 song..... then i'll be drinking my way back over to the shores of hong kong.

crouching tiger hidden dragon

ok, super busy day at the shop today.... so i'll keep this short n sweet.

here's numero 3 outta the 4 pieces i did today... fun rib smash, she sat like a trooper, lets hope the guy getting his ribs done tomorrow does too!



seems like tigers are the new dragons, got another booked in tomorrow!

oh, and i can't not blog about this, but unfortunately i can't post the picture (coz it's top secret suprise stuff and i aint gonna go spoiling it), but the last tattoo i did today, may well be the most iresponsable thing ever, but he pleaded, and i warned him, but he pleaded some more.....

"what was it?!" you ask....

only a marriage propsal. yup, hell of a way to pop the question, eh?! lets hope she says YES!

Avast Ye!

So 6 hours later, this is what we dun on Danny.....

like i said, my faithful and seemingly fair weathered liner gave in a few days back, so we had a good half hour getting our feet wet before the action really started..... he sat like a champ of the high seas. 10 points, or should i say 10 gold coins?

Before i post the pics, i have to apologise for the poor quality of the photos for 3 hearty reasons;

a) was tired, very tired
b)after 6 hours i just feel mean giving it a good solid wipe down over and over
c)we wanted to catch the 1am showing at the cinema and were pushing it for time.

so here's what we did....

front...



kinda inside.....



inside...



and back....



we continued the background up from what he already has, and almost finished the sleeve. it was a weird one to work on coz he already had a lot going on, but it pieced together nicely in the end, just the very top to finish off now.....

anyways, it's almost 4:30am and still at the shop (had to come back and get Milo) so gonna head home. got another long day tomorrow...... so sleep is much needed. much much needed.....
