cheeky

so, guess it's time to post some recent work....been a while i think.

but 1st up, i figured i'd post ross' recent work. here's vinni's new addition.....



and here's another addition to vinni.... a radioactive spider.... (the redness around is clear UV.)



our blacklight is a teeny lil' torch thing, so it was hard to get a photo....but here's the best i got...



yesterday did a fun lil' oneshot on a guy who clearly doesn't get enough sleep.... sat real well for 4 and a half hours, and didn't get done til the wee hours.



did this piece on a knitting fanatic. (it's a cover up too but the before pic isn't much worth posting)





lastly, got some fun little walk in's on a repeat customer and her friend who was visiting....

Mum

hope u had a good'un!



(and happy mother's day too)

i couldn't resist nicking this pic off her facebook. there she is, the lady herself with her little sister.

Guest artist a go-go!

OK, so i am pleased to announce we will be having the awesome Taco Joe guesting at Star Crossed tattoo from the 16th onwards. Come reserve a spot sooner than later y'all!

Here's a few examples of his work for y'all to feast your beady lil' eyes on.....











enjoy!

for blog's sake!

been tattooing but not really in a photo taking mood, so this'll have to do.....

1st up, pics from monkey mountain... not the best photos in the world, or the most in focus photos in the world, but hey, i didn't take 'em! (hmmmm........ a-hole! photographer connoisseur)


nothing better than a skanky-ass reservoir for a break from the heat!


true love.....

speakin' of monkeys, Andy was so kind as to add a new addition to my ever growing collection.... here, ladies n gents is my war monkey, fresh off the battlefield.



lastly, been working on a new business card design, so here's the basic line-a-madoodle....



ok, til next time y'all!

when in rome....

so here's more pics i got from our day trip to the buddha, the avenue of stars and other good stuff. it's kinda fun being a tourist ....









did the fortune sticks at the temple....... worst fortune ever! EVER! (click to enlarge)

Star Crossed Tattoo for SALE!

Figured i may as well blog about this seeing as i haven't properly done so....

Star Crossed Tattoo in Hong Kong is currently for sale, fully equipped. Any interested parties can e mail info@starcrossedtattoo.com for more information.

Here's some pics of the studio and the shop/waiting room....






all the equipment, loads of the books and flash, all the furniture and sterilization equipment is staying, so it is literally a fully functioning studio with everything you could need, including computer, printer/scanner, thermofax machine.

We have a separate sterilization room in the back, a bathroom and a small office too. Star Crossed has a great local reputation and catches a lot of overseas trade. It is currently set up for 2 artists, but could easily accommodate more.

odds and sods

ok, my blogs are probably gonna be pretty weird for a while til i catch up on all the posts from andy's trip....and try and post stuff about the here n now...... so i apologise.

1st up, some pics from the Buddha........



we got the cable car up..... Andy is super scared of heights and was convinced we were gonna die..... not good......



oh, that reminds me, we covered up his little writing on his knuckles with BIG writing on his knuckles.

not a happy camper....



pretty....











i have shit loads of more pics, but they can wait.....

Yesterday was a crazy long day. overbooked, and i had to squeeze a walk in in coz i just couldn't say no to this.....



yup, thats some super freehand wizardry.

also started the other side of the lucky cat/daruma calf....



and did this.....



and i did other stuff, but nothing interesting..... so i finished work at 1am and rushed over to meet Ross at the DJ set Manni from the Stone Roses did. It was pretty cool, and he played Morrissey! 10 points right there...



then everything is kinda a blur.... i vaguely remember trying to eat a kebab in the cab home... i think the floor got more than me though.

anyways gotta go, customer due any minute and i'm trying to watch South Park (it's the episode with Worf from Next Gen. It's awesome!)
