too busy

to blog....



these 2 lil creatures were abandoned by their mum's so they got taken in by a zoo and they grew up together and are best buddies.

well i never!

so i'm flicking thru the latest skin deep and see none other than Miss Kate in an advert for a jewelry company.... and i'm thinking, she doesn't have 3 hands....who's hands are those.... and then i'm like oh! wait! i know that hand! i did that tattoo! Her lovely husband, Lee from the Defiled is posing with her!

So, like i said, i aint got much to blog about.... so thought i'd share this!

here's a close up....

and y'all should check out Kate's clothes HERE! and Lee's band HERE!

May the force be with you

so it's been a LONG few days, sorting out our flights, with Milo, and it's been...... how can i put this bluntly.....

Fucking retardedly fucking stressful.

anyways, tonight Joe 10:66 organised an awesome surprise leaving gig for me n Ross.... and i took 3 rolls o' film with my holga..... so hopefully some pics soon.

in the mean time... this is for Mr Turpin.....

they're awesome (and yes, they are wooly jumpers) , but i will still stick to my guns, Star Trek rocks way more. Way way more..... lightyears more.

Don't wanna be your monkey wrench....

So Wednesdays are usually my day off, but i went into work to tattoo Ross, one of the new owners of my (no longer mine) beloved studio. So that's it. I'm officially between jobs. Today was my last day. I'll still go back to collect all my stuff.... but..... yeah.

Anyways, he got a monkey wrench going through his neck for his brother, Travis who is a mechanic.

This pic is so y'all can see placement.... it looks kinda wonky coz i had him push his shoulders back and tilt his head down so i could get a photo....

His skin took colour amazingly easily.... and it looked brighter in person.

Here's each side ...

So seeing as i wont be tattooing for another 3 weeks or so and relocating halfway across the globe, this blog may get a bit dull. I'll try and keep some stuff updated, but BEAR with me! and... apologies in advance!

Oh, that reminds me, anyone who follows my blog on alivenotdead.... i'll be closing that account, so y'all better find me on Blogger! (here)

Holy cOWL!

So i got to do an awesome 1 shot chest piece today. I'm kinda amazed that he sat through it all.... but he did! 10 points!

I gotta admit, i've had super fun stuff all week. Maybe i shoulda always just been super anally selective and douchy, and maybe then i woulda got cool stuff more often.  Anyways, tomorrow i got 1 last tattoo, then i am packin my shit and booking a ticket outta this place. Crazy. Still got a lot of crap to sort before we leave, but it's all coming to an end, and.... well..... it feels weird!

I know i've mentioned it before, but i'll be tattooing outta Flamin 8 in Kentish town, London in a few weeks, so if ya fancy some pain, u know where to find me!

Fun 1-shot on a repeat customer from the States. Was starting to think we wouldn't cross paths again in time, but alas, we managed. Last time she was this side of the globe i was at the Singapore convention, and she always wants cool pieces so I was super keen to fit her in this time round! Poor thing had just flown 16hrs straight and was clearly a little fragile, but she didn't complain once. good stuff.

and i remembered to get a shot of the last piece she got all healed.....

tomorrow i got a cool chest piece booked in, and wednesday i'm tattooing "new Ross", so it's all good!

the end of the æon

so started on the Apocalypse sleeve today. Got a good 5 hrs in, all lower arm, co i haven't figured out exactly what's going where with the top. probably a good thing though, coz it looks like we may throw a shoulder blade cover-up in there too now.

I'll be finishing this off in London, maybe a second session next month if paths cross. Speaking of which, i only got 3 more days working at Star Crossed which feels INSANE! I'm gonna miss it.

Got some real fun pieces in before i go though, so eyes peeled peeps.

til next time.
