Guest artist a go-go!

OK, so i am pleased to announce we will be having the awesome Taco Joe guesting at Star Crossed tattoo from the 16th onwards. Come reserve a spot sooner than later y'all!

Here's a few examples of his work for y'all to feast your beady lil' eyes on.....











enjoy!

for blog's sake!

been tattooing but not really in a photo taking mood, so this'll have to do.....

1st up, pics from monkey mountain... not the best photos in the world, or the most in focus photos in the world, but hey, i didn't take 'em! (hmmmm........ a-hole! photographer connoisseur)


nothing better than a skanky-ass reservoir for a break from the heat!


true love.....

speakin' of monkeys, Andy was so kind as to add a new addition to my ever growing collection.... here, ladies n gents is my war monkey, fresh off the battlefield.



lastly, been working on a new business card design, so here's the basic line-a-madoodle....



ok, til next time y'all!

when in rome....

so here's more pics i got from our day trip to the buddha, the avenue of stars and other good stuff. it's kinda fun being a tourist ....









did the fortune sticks at the temple....... worst fortune ever! EVER! (click to enlarge)

Star Crossed Tattoo for SALE!

Figured i may as well blog about this seeing as i haven't properly done so....

Star Crossed Tattoo in Hong Kong is currently for sale, fully equipped. Any interested parties can e mail info@starcrossedtattoo.com for more information.

Here's some pics of the studio and the shop/waiting room....






all the equipment, loads of the books and flash, all the furniture and sterilization equipment is staying, so it is literally a fully functioning studio with everything you could need, including computer, printer/scanner, thermofax machine.

We have a separate sterilization room in the back, a bathroom and a small office too. Star Crossed has a great local reputation and catches a lot of overseas trade. It is currently set up for 2 artists, but could easily accommodate more.

odds and sods

ok, my blogs are probably gonna be pretty weird for a while til i catch up on all the posts from andy's trip....and try and post stuff about the here n now...... so i apologise.

1st up, some pics from the Buddha........



we got the cable car up..... Andy is super scared of heights and was convinced we were gonna die..... not good......



oh, that reminds me, we covered up his little writing on his knuckles with BIG writing on his knuckles.

not a happy camper....



pretty....











i have shit loads of more pics, but they can wait.....

Yesterday was a crazy long day. overbooked, and i had to squeeze a walk in in coz i just couldn't say no to this.....



yup, thats some super freehand wizardry.

also started the other side of the lucky cat/daruma calf....



and did this.....



and i did other stuff, but nothing interesting..... so i finished work at 1am and rushed over to meet Ross at the DJ set Manni from the Stone Roses did. It was pretty cool, and he played Morrissey! 10 points right there...



then everything is kinda a blur.... i vaguely remember trying to eat a kebab in the cab home... i think the floor got more than me though.

anyways gotta go, customer due any minute and i'm trying to watch South Park (it's the episode with Worf from Next Gen. It's awesome!)

potato salad

hmm, whole day put aside for an overseas customer who didn't show. awesome.

so been on facebook, myspace, and other crap all day wasting time til andy is done working and i can tattoo his face... so found this, which Naresh posted on facebook. it's mental.... give it a while, get past the 1st minute.................

spank the monkey

So i finally got the pics from the tattoos i did @ Haunted in London during my guest spot. The pics Andy was s'posed to e mail to me..... months ago. Anyways, better late than never eh?!

Here's a better pic of Lee's hand.....



and here's the monkey i did on Andy's calf.....



It's been awesome having him here, and he was gonna stay 2 more weeks, but for valid reasons, can't.... :(

so been busy showing him the sights and working like a horse, so i do have pics to blog (yeah, i got a new camera too) but it's all gonna have to wait, coz for a change, i have had a life this past month. It's a sorry state of affairs when the only time i do blog, is when i don't really have much to blog about, and my blog dries up as soon as life is good and i'm busy. Makes sense though..... so next week i should be blogging like mad, coz everything will be back to normal, no guest artist, and boredom prevails...... so til then y'all!
