Out With the Old

….And in with the new. So here’s the last of last years work.

Healed/New

Here are some pieces some of which are healed, like the mandala on this first piece, with other new tattoos.

The endless knot here is new – the sanskrit was not done by me.

I filled in the spaces between some work by my friend Alvaro Flores who works in Melbourne, Australia at Korpus Tattoo.

Maze, seed of life and constellation concept was brought in by the customer.

Interesting piece in as far as it covers a birthmark making use of it.

Classic lotus.

My old pal Jon was back when I was at Into You in London – he got several little tattoos done in the same session – P1150110

I managed to get a few shots of Asia’s healed tattoo from a short while back. I did a cover up on her lower back which you can just see in one of the photos but my other pictures of it were out of focus….. I’m a tattooist not a photographer it seems.

Waves Mandala Bands

I’ve had some very interesting projects finally completed in the last few weeks – I decided that it’s far more interesting to put up complete works rather than ‘in progress shots’ which will probably work better with my slack blog updating schedule.

 

First up is Ian who has been having this top of arm/chest geo piece done over the last few months and I’m quite happy with the results and I hope he is too.P1150046.10x8web

 

Mary has been very regular in her appointments meaning that we got this sleeve completed relatively quickly. I tried to keep this piece light and delicate to an extent to suit her light frame.P1150019.10x8web P1150010.10x8web

Apologies for the blood patch on this but we were pushed for time at the end of the session so the young lady could catch her bus back to Aberdeen.P1140873.10x8web

We finally finished Nicole’s backpiece with a simple dotwork motif – having been tanning herself and some of the tattoo is 9 months old makes the picture look a little unbalanced.

A fun bit of Sacred Geometry for Daniel – apparently it was from an old book cover.

Lastly this was a bit of a test – 5 freehand bands around the arm with a small Arabic pattern cartouche – although I was nervous about doing this I really enjoyed it in the end.P1150040.10x8web

Catching Up

So for once I’m keeping on top of this sort of……

I’ve had some fun in Edinburgh and also at my guest spot in Liverpool for which I want to thank Richie and Paul at Forever True Tattoo for being fantastic hosts and gentlemen. I always enjoy my stay at the studio and they make me feel completely welcome and like a part of the crew – cheers guys!

In Liverpool I did some fun work too and here are some of them.

Jack who I have been tattooing in Edinburgh came across to Liverpool too. To reiterate – I did not do the triangle/zelda, the strip pattern or the crow which Jack already had and for the life of me I cannot remember the name of the tattooist for which I apologise.

Liverpool 2015

I am down in Liverpool with Richie Clarke Pdc this week (Thursday 16th, Friday 17th & Saturday 18th April).

There are a couple of spaces left so drop me or Forever True Tattoo a line for bookings.FOREVER

Long Distance and Long Sittings

Last week at Lew and Danny both travelled up from down south to get tattooed in Edinburgh.

Lew sat for a whole day to complete his abstract geometric sleeve.

Danny stuck it out for two and a half days for his lady Odin and mandala half sleeve and chest panel, which I was really happy with the result of.

It’s interesting to note that the larger more complex projects are coming from clients travelling from down south, and I reckon it’s time that the Scots step up!

Eyes Owls Mandalas

I’ve been a little slow on the blog update again so there’ll likely be more than one this week – I have been busy doing tattoos though so here are some pictures of what I’ve been up to.

Red, Hot & Blue

After a great trip to the States in February, getting more done to my own tattoo by Thomas Hooper in Austin, and a brief guest spot with the awesome 2Spirit Tattoo in San Francisco, I’m finally settling down for a while back in Edinburgh.

I’ve been busy getting started on some bigger projects for the past couple of weeks, along with some fun one shots.

I’m excited to be back with the old team, but I’ll still be travelling about for guest spots and conventions regularly.

Speaking of which, you can read all about my travelling in this months issue of Total Tattoo Magazine.

And don’t forget it’s the Scottish Tattoo Convention on the 29th and 30th March, stop by the Red, Hot & Blue booth where I’ll be tattooing in-between catching up with international friends.
