So it’s been a while again….. Since my last update I’ve been in San Francisco, (where I witnessed two of my closest friends get married – congratulations Chad and Erin), where I worked at Idle Hand Tattoos on the Lower Haight. I only did a few days there as I was out with my friends helping them honeymoon by travelling to Big Sur but here’s a piece:
After this it was up to Seattle to hang with the awesome Slave to the Needle crew (and Mr and Mrs Kiwi-Lloyd) which was a fantastic experience – rarely is one made to feel so welcome by such amazing artists. Needless to say I had a great time…. I was only working for a couple of days but did a mega session on Mark which resulted in this ‘add around’ half sleeve:
In San Diego I had Santi who I’d met in Edinburgh and we managed to hook up and disrupt my week off with an afternoon with the folk from Seven Seas Tattoo – champions all these guys too…… Thanks too to Santi. Picture is from his iphone so it looks a bit zany if you ask me.
That was the last of the USA for us and now we’re off to New Zealand. Thanks to everyone who we hung out with and especially to those who let us invade their studios and homes. You all rule!



congrats my dear friend! I wish you n’ your future Mrs all the best wishes n’ happiness that you both richly deserve. Looking forward to giving you a big fucking hug, take it easy bro, Ian…..n’ Katie n’ Shark attack super!!!
