Rupert the Rat and his party hat!
One of my lovely regulars Sarah, asked me if I could do a tattoo of her rat Rupert in a rose. So after looking through a load of photos I kept coming back to the one where he actually had a party hat on. It was shouting out to be used so I completed the painting for her and here it is.
PLEASE DO NOT COPY AS THIS IS A CUSTOM PIECE AND THERE IS ONLY ONE RAT THAT WORE A PARTY HAT AND THAT WAS RUPERT!

So now its finished it was decided to carry it on up around the back and then it will carry on down the thigh down the leg. The first part has been lined and I will put up some photos on completion.
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

Ink for Aid

Another band to add to my tattoo portfolio, this weeks entry ICP!
So I have now got an ICP hatchet man added to my ever growing band related tattoo portfolio. Enjoyed doing this one, blood spatter is always a good one to tattoo
Newest addition to the Metallica Tattoo Project!
So its been a while as this last one has been over a couple of sittings. This piece is a design from an old tour tshirt and has been modified to fill the lower arm around the some kind of monster piece. The amount of line work in this piece was bordering on the ridiculous at times, lines lines everywhere. Next addition will hopefully be at Liverpool Tattoo Convention, so if you are going come over and have a look!
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.
So thats the first Tattoo Convention of the year in the bag!
So I am back from the Manchester Tattoo Convention and a great weekend was had by all. The 10th anniversary year was shaping up to be a good one and it didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere was the best it has been in years, chilled and relaxed with everyone enjoying themselves and chatting to each other.
Here are some photos from the weekend for you to see. Thank you to Zoe, Mary, Kelly, Kelly and Kaite
