Koi In the works

 

 Great first tattoo! Go big, you wont regret it. 

Phoenix add on

I added the phoenix to the goats head pentagram. The goats head was first tattooed 14years ago. I re-worked it.

Rose of no man's Land

 'Rose of no man's land" is a long lasting image from tattooing history  dating from the first world war.

Working on this one.

I have just done 8 full days of solid tattooing. It was loads of fun doing lots of new and on going pieces. I spent most of my day off looking at tattoo related sites. Easy to say I'm quite obsessed... Well this prattle is the boring bit, on with the pictures.

More on going work

Started this today.

Slow on the up take.

      I'm just giving an update on tattoos I'm currently working on. I cant wait to get everything finished. 

So funny.

 Bring on the new year. Last year was a lot of change for the better I hope for more of the same really. I want to do more tattooing of larger stuff ie Japanese sleeves.

Thanks Sean for taking photos and dancing to keep the vibe of the booth fun!


New Plymouth tattoo convention was fucking sweet! My brother and best mate Sean went over to have fun and a lot of laughs. I laughed so fucking hard my throat hurts. New Plymouth looks amazing. A massive mountain on one side and the ocean on the other with a small town in between.
We got in after a long day of transfers and shitty food on planes . We slept very little and partied just enough to keep going all through the whole weekend. We met some great people.
Thanks to all the people who came and got tattooed. All the people I tattooed were easy going and having a good time. Thanks and see you guys next time!

Sketch

I've always enjoyed seeing peoples messy sketches more then the final piece. I want to tattoo this... without my name in it.

Painting

I'm spending the day drawing/ hanging out. The painting started with doing a study for a client of the birds chest piece. The style is influenced by Thomas Hooper NYC/English artist.
The photo is my desk.

Today's effort. I might make changes but the idea is there.

This was done with a full chest piece in mind. First tattoo, sat great.
