Melbourne Delight

Tacky title but I really can’t think of anything else to write……. Oh well. I’ve had the opportunity to do some fun work here in Melbourne and have actually photographed some.

First up is Sri Ganesh on Sandy – the photo’s didn’t come out so well but I liked this shot and it does show the detail so I thought I’d include it in this post.

Chris came in and had a bug mandal and bee done – I  loved doing this and hope he is happy with the result. 

A lucky chance brought in this piece as Leonie was ill therefore I stepped in and redrew a sketch brought in by the customer.

Another piece of luck as Richie came in off the cuff at Tattoo Magic and I had him come in twice and we did these pieces – in the bottom photo the tattoo is a week old and almost all healed up.

Kapitan Voodoo aka Fat Knee Nik had this colour mandala jabbed on to his, later swollen, knee. I’ll get a healed shot of this soon with any luck as I’m going to be doing the other knee.

Amy had an islamic inspired mandala on her feet – she changed her mind halfway through and went without colour – no problem.

Kayci had a colourful seahorse with mandala done – it almost matched her hair at the time (not shown but believe me)…..

Sam had his first tattoo – ‘Eyes’ he said…..

Miss Cutie-Kills had a fun traditional mermaid doing. Nice and bright…..

Paul wanted a simple origami swan – nice one mate.

Paints and Patterns

I learnt to do watercolour painting while on my trip to New Zealand with help from Ben Raddatz and Naomi Smith – to both of whom I shall be ever greatful. I really enjoyed the medium and shall undoubtedly be driving folks mad, leaving bits of badly and cheaply painted artworks scattered behind me as I travel…… Anyway here are some of my efforts I’ve tried to paint what number each one is onto it so you can laugh at my progress  keep tabs on them…… They’re not in order in this gallery.

Long Time Coming

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:

 


A Long Needed Update

I’ve been slack with my updates – travelling makes it hard to keep up with post on here so I apologise. Here are a few photos from the last few weeks:

Circus Tattoo Madrid:

Three Kings:

Eye Candy:

All of these studios have been great and are fantastic folks. I’ve been overwhelmed by the friendly, welcoming nature of every one of them. I hope to be back in the not too distant future. Thanks so much to the customers for coming along and of course all of the guys and girls at the studios – you ALL rule!

 

Idle Hand San Francisco here we come!

Crafty Berlin

We had a great time in Berlin, we zoomed about on bicycles, went to flea markets, museums, galleries and Checkpoint Charlie.  Kay did numerous, successful hair workshops at ‘Class of Berlin’ in the Rock-a-Tiki Salon space. I worked at the very friendly and fun Craftz Tattoo . I was welcomed like an old friend and felt completely at home. I took it very easy and only worked a few days but did get to do a couple of fun pieces. Thanks to all the crew at Craftz  for looking after me and thanks to Berlin for being, well, Berlin!

Octopus Days

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.

 

 

Samoan Influence

Callum got a freehand Samoan influence for his sleeve. He sat well and now has plenty of character.

Lady Mandala

I was glad to get the opportunity to get to do this Cameo/Mandala on Gary.

I’ll Give You

A Celtic cross and you can do what you like with it said Bruce. This is what I did. Thanks for all the gig adventures over the last few years my friend.
