Long Time Coming

Posted on February 9, 2013 by admin| 2 Comments

Well I’m afraid it has been the longest gap in my updates that I’ve had since the start of this blogsite. I must apologise but so much has happened and I’ve been to so many places since the last entry. The best thing that has happened is that I got engaged to my lady who has made me incredibly happy and has been the best travelling companion I could have as well as being my perfect support network in all of this – thanks Kay I love you.

Anyway soppiness asides I have actually been doing some tattoos and so here are a bunch of them:

Octopus Days

Posted on August 4, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

We had a nice time in Derby with our friends at Octopus Tattoo. I tattooed 3/4 of the Horton family so many thanks to you all for keeping me busy and out of trouble. First up is a shot of Daisy’s feet.

Then it was Mei-Lin getting a gypsy head.

The next morning Paul was in getting a pin-up.

Then on the Monday Daisy ‘The Brave” was in again getting her arm done with a selection of stuff.

Later in the week I had Sam come all the way from Aberdeen – the poor lad was pretty wiped out as he’d just come off night shift on the rigs offshore then travelled straight down to finish his sleeve. Well done mate and thank you.

And for another two days I had Izzy in – yet another trooper I can tell you. I loved doing these pieces as I feel they are representative of my own style.

Rain City

Posted on August 1, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

Well we had a great time while working in Rain City, Manchester. I did some fun tattoos and Kay did a Vintage Styling workshop for the Lindy Hop group.

The whole crew in this new studio were fantastic and very welcoming. The work coming out of here is also fantastic and if you are nearby (or even your not) it’s well worth seeking them out for a tattoo.

Thanks so much to all of you folks at Rain City and especially to Gre for your fantastic host skills and ,as ever, great company. Oh and thanks to Forbes for altering my laces and Kays soles……

I took it rather easy but here are a few of the pieces I did there:

The End and the Beginning.

Well folks it’s time to announce that I have left Red Hot and Blue Tattoo and hit the road. I had the best time ever working there but it’s time to see what the world has to offer. Thanks to Paul and all of the guys there for everything and good luck in the future. Home is where the heart is and you are ALL heart! x

Now my adventures begin slowly but surely – first stop was Newcastle for a couple of days at Cock-a-Snook where I was very warmly received and very well looked after. These guys are awesome. While there I did nothing but monkey/primate tattoos which kept me more than happy!

First up Tom had a smoking ape called Hof
