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
I spent this afternoon over at Manchester Central setting up for the convention this weekend. It should be a good one, if you are heading over come and say hi! Looking forward to tattoos some great things on some great people.
I have just picked up our new convention banners and stickers in preparation for Manchester Tattoo Show this weekend! Here are some lovely photos of us showing them off for your viewing pleasure.
I am looking forward to working on some really nice pieces this weekend. I do not have any free spaces left however if you are coming to the show please feel free to drop by the booth and come say hi! There will be stickers and possibly sweets if you are lucky!
While I am on the subject of conventions. Due to the fact that Everton cant muster the energy to beat Reading I will no longer be dreaming of another trip to Wembley. I am now taking bookings for the whole weekend of Liverpool Tattoo Convention. If you would like a piece from me please email me through the contact page and I will get in touch!
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.
Completed this cover today which should have been done 10 months ago. This was put back due to a baby being born in the meantime, so today it finally got sorted out.
In another baby related tattoo I also tattooed this baby footprint. Kudos to the Dad for buying face paints spending hours getting me a good enough print to work off. Enjoyed doing this.
So after weeks of waiting I finally got to tattoo my first of a set of jelly babies on one of my lovely regular customers Zoe! You know its a good day when your tattoo is making you smile as you are doing it. We will be completing another Jelly Baby at the Manchester Tattoo Convention in March. So here it is pink jelly baby!
And to top it all off Zoe gave me a couple of Jelly Baby necklaces she made from her Fyrefly Gems Jewellery Range!
Go team Jelly Baby!
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.
