We are getting involved with Tattooers for Japan and Ink for Aid – Raising money for Japan!

Tattooers for Japan

 

Due to the terrible scenes we have all been witnessing in Japan and the fact that all tattooists owe a great debt to Japan for their history in tattooing. We are proud to announce we will be participating in the Tattooers for Japan fund raising event that is happening around the world in the next few weeks.

So on Sunday 3rd April, we will be opening our doors for a one off walk in day of tattooing with ALL proceeds being given to the Japanese Diaster Fund.

We will be open 11am – 5pm, it will be on a first come first served basis, there will be a selection of Japanese themed designs to choose from (these designs will be posted up in the next week or so). There will be a variety of designs and prices.

We will not be tattooing any torsos, upper inner arm or lower backs as they take a liitle longer to do and we want to get as many tattoos in as we can so it will be pretty much arms, legs and the odd foot here and there.

We hope you will all come and get involved for what is a very good cause and you get a tattoo for helping out! How can you say no to that!

We will update you as the date gets closer. For more info of what is happening around the world go to

Time to say goodbye to that tiger, dragon and all its tribal friends!

This week I have started my biggest cover up challenge to date. The design required some careful planning of placement so after lots of re-draws I finally got the design ready

Then after the first session we are now at this stage and I am looking forward to getting started on the colour next month.

Its going to end up a full sleeve with a selection of Japanese gold fish swimming around the lower arm. I will post updates as the sessions progress.

Trio Project, Manchester Tattoo Convention and Days Off this week.

I managed to start painting out my Alkaline Trio flash sheet last night. Below is the progress I made, with out the use of a full set of paint brushes, due to me leaving them in the studio over the weekend. Looking forward to getting it all finished!

I will be out of the studio Friday and Saturday as I am working Manchester Tattoo Convention over the weekend. Check out the link and if you are attending drop by the booth and say hi.

In the finals of the most humorous tattoo competition! Well isn’t that the bees knees?

I entered one of my tattoos in Bob Baxter, editor-in-chief of TattooRoadTrip.com, most humorous tattoo competition. I have just found out that I have managed to get into the final.

This is the tattoo I have entered. It made me laugh while I was doing it and hopefully it will make some other people raise a smile and all.

You can go look at all the entries at Bob Baxters Most Humorous Tattoo Competition and go vote for your favourite. Adam also has an entry in there of a pregnant pin up.

If you vote for either of us thank you in advance.

Its a good read in general so go look at the whole blog. Enjoy and I hope it brightens up your Monday Night.
