Edinburgh London

I had a nice time down in London at Into You – such a friendly and talented crew, I really am looking forward to my return in August (7-8-9th). If you’re in London or nearby and want to book in then please email: blue@into-you.co.uk.

Here are some of the things I did there mixed in with some stuff from Edinburgh.

Also here are a couple of pieces that I managed to get healed shots of. It’s always good when you get the chance to get the tattoo once it’s settled in.

Henna Pufferfish Nest Whale

So here is some more work from the last few weeks – I’m almost back up to date.

First up I added to Jane’s mandal/henna arm next to some great pieces by Stef fro Old Town Tattoo in Edinburgh. Then there are various other pieces – amongst them a puffer fish nest – look the video up on the internet as it’s pretty cool – a Native American textile pattern whale, a Ganesh and amongst it a piece of Japanese inspired colour work from a few years back that I added a chest panel onto.

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.

Doors Upon Doors

So I have recovered from my op and went to London for a guest spot at Seven Doors which went well with plenty of new and returning customers booking in with me directly. Thanks for having me Jondix and Deno!

I had a nice time in London and whilst there I started discussions for a regular guest spot with one of the UK’s  if not the worlds most seminal and influential tattoo studios – keep your eye’s peeled for announcements! To say I’m excited about this opening door is an understatement.

Anyway here are some of the pieces I was working on:

Liverbirds and Traditional Swallows

I was lucky enough to have spent the better part of a week at Forever True Tattoo in Liverpool working alongside the inspirational and perfectly gentlemanly Richie Clarke, not forgetting the diamond geezer known as Paul on the front desk. The studio is a great place with the walls covered in great Traditional Western Style flash – much of it painted by Richie himself which gives the place a really classic feel. Both of the guys here went out of their way to be helpful and make a true welcome to their studio.

While I was there I got to do a few very fun pieces on some lovely clients all of whom I’d like to thank for coming along and getting tattooed. Here are a few of the pieces I did, some of which are Traditional Western Style which was great fun to do and much less strain on my eyes for sure! Oh yes – I also tattooed Richie’s palm which was an honour and may I say a pleasure? Ha ha…..

Eurotrash and Style

Quick catch up on the past few weeks in Europe, I’ve been busy tattooing in some great studios, feeling extremely welcome and grateful.

First stop on the trip was Graz at Lightbearer Tattoo, great bunch of folks and some lovely customers in a beautiful city.

Next up was Mystery Tattoo Club in Paris, an inspirational bunch and again a warm reception from the Parisian customers. I got to do some fun stuff here and also my wife was more than happy to discover a gluten-free Patisserie right around the corner which was delicious and sinful I’m sure!

I shall certainly be visiting these great cities in the not too distant future…..
