killed by death

Time for another update....

.......i finished this piece a couple months ago but finally got some healed pictures of it.

Had lots of fun with this script piece on Tash too. She was a star and sat so f'ing well :)

Coral's flower half sleeve was great fun to work on too and i hope i get to tattoo her again. The big ass rose on the back of her arm is my favourite part of this piece.....

I need to wait and get a healed photo of this piece i did on Em yesterday, but it was so much fun i wanted to post it online. Loads and Loads of fun!!!!! 

I have done a lot of anatomical style hearts but doing this one in shades of brown was one of the most fun and i definatly want to do things in this way. Was a tough spot getting tattooed on the ribs but she sat really well with no complaints..... the hummingbird was also on ribs and again done with no complaints. These girls were tough!!!!

Here are a few pieces in progress....

So i had a week off too!! And it was lovely to visit friends and family, and relax. Sonisphere was the best time and Motorhead were my highlight of the weekend. It took me a while to get over the partying but it was worth every bit. Can't wait for BloodStock now.

I have had my back piece started by Matt Difa and is looking sick already. 11 hours done and shit load more to go. I'll post some pics when there is a little more done.

I also did the Race for Life last weekend. Unfortunatly my friend Ami was really ill. She shouldn't have been taking part really, so i helped her walk around. Thanks to everyone that sponserd me, your money is going to a really great cause, and i really appreciate you supporting me.

Here are some pics from the week.....

And finally, my favourite and the best thing i own.....

Thank u Roy. I Love it!!!

The Crack of Doom

Time for a new post!!

 I don't know where my days are going at the moment, i swear they are getting shorter ;)

....here are a few updates on pieces i have been working on in the past few weeks....

This is a collaboration piece i have been working on with Marcos (attwood). He has steamed through his half of the face in about 3 sessions!! So it just down to me to finish mine. We will then be filling in the background and carrying it on around Jims ribs and stomach. exciting :)

There is also a lot of work to go on this sleeve but so far has been so much fun. Its a sleeve made up of the most random pieces, including a lady face, inline skate and a tiny white rabbit!! The panda is my favourite tattoo i have done so far. I haven't really tattooed many animals before and i would definitely like to do more.....

This Junko Mizuno mermaid is a finished section of a full sleeve of all of his work.Super fun!!

I tried something a little different than i would normally do with these 2 flowers and really pleased with how they came out. I love tattooing flowers, you can always experiment and make them look  completely different. perfect subject matter for a tattoo.

I havent been doing as much art work as i would like recently, but here are a few things i have been playing around with.

This was playing around with pelican ink and a brush. Was fun and got a bigger, more detailed piece on the go...

....can't believe i had never drawn a tiger, so here's what i did.....

.....i actually did this a while ago, but still makes me giggle....AssSphincter says wat??

....and this is a comission piece iv finished.

Jo finished his degree a couple weeks ago, and his end of year show was amazing. I'm so proud of him, he's an amazingly talented artist and you guys should def keep your eyes open for him in the future. These are a couple pics from the show...

... you can see more of his work here.

This was in a different section of the uni, and i liked his ears...

You should also check out the art work of Tash Pollendine , who did this print. She is an up and coming tattoo artist who works in Cardiff and so far shes rocking!

So it's my turn to get tattooed in a little under 2 weeks. Getting my backpiece started by Matt Difa and im sooooooooo excited about it. With Sonisphere just after, so my July is going to be rad a f**ck!!

I will also be taking part in the Race For Life which is a fundraising event for Caner Research. Me and a friend took part last year. Its a great way for everyone to get involved and to raise money for an amazing charity. If you would like to sponser me to do the 5k run please click on the link below and give what you can, even if its real small amount. every little bit will help!!

And to finish...... i'm loving this song at the moment, think you will too after watching the video.

Flesh Storm

So Friday 13th at the studio was complete madness......

....there were people rammed in the shop and waiting all day to be part of the madness. There are photos from the day on he website (and we even made it into local paper!!)

We carried on the craziness that weekend at the Liverpool Tattoo Convention ......

I have spent another few hours working on Mike's sleeve this month. Still having heaps of fun with it, but its super hard.

Also had the pleasure of working on thses pieces.....

Been loving Norm's work more and more recently, the guys freehand lettering is totally out of this world. If you dont kno his work, go check out http://www.normwillrise.com/

Bought this beauty off him... (its even got sick lettering on the frame!!)

Was totally inspired by a piece of this artwork which was a huge collection of different types of script, so i thought i'd give it a go. totally stoked with how its turned out and was a load of fun...

Its 55cmx75cm and copies will be avalible to buy soon.

Here are a couple of other drawing...

You can see my mug in Skin Deep magazine this month. There are a few mistakes, including my name!!!! but go check it out anyway. got ANOTHER Wayne's World quote in there :) :) :)
