A massive thank you to Josie and Nicole from Central Tattoo Supplies for helping us on our Tattooers for Japan fund raising day this Sunday!

We had a lovely surprise today from Josie and Nicole from Central Tattoo Supplies. They have donated a load of supplies to us for our Walk In Charity this Sunday. These will be a big help in getting more people tattooed on the day.

Remember that we will be tattooing a selection of Japanese inspired designs for a range of prices and ALL money raised will go to the Tattooers for Japan fund to help the victims of the Japanese Tsunami Disaster.

So come down and get involved.

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!

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

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!
