no pain no gain

So yesterdays tattoo kept me working til 4am, hence the lack of the blog. Anyways, i'm much less tired now, (it's 3am the next morning) so figured i'd blog the piece on Joe.

He tried to play it cool for the cameras......



but ended up showing his true colours. poor guy, really suffered, but sat through it all!







So here it is, Miss Anna Tomic and Miss Ally Wrong... get it? anna tomic ally wrong.....



Anyways, all's fair in love n war, and Joe'll be inflicting pain.... a lot of pain on me tomorrow.... hopefully have pics to post these next few days (although i doubt i'm gonna be sitting through a 1 shot....so it might just be linework.) i apologize in advance.

In other news, Ocean Park seems to change their closing times at their own whim, so we ended up on the peak tram, which is almost a roller coaster..... bot not quite....

We did have an awesome day, and lots of pics taken..... so some of that goodness soon too!

Flamin' galah!

if it's printed....it's true. yup.

check this out y'all!

EXCITING!

taco joe ho ho and a bottle of rum...

so not got any tattoo pics to post. seems like all i've been doing recently is script, script and some more.....you guessed it! script.

so i'm afraid all i got are pics from us on the town....yup....more of the same i'm afraid!

i'll be tattooing joe this week and he'll be tattooing me, so will have some pics to post by the end of the week. I PROMISE! in fact, i've already drawn joe's piece, but i'm not really in a sharing mood....so y'all will have to wait!

what better way to start a night out than hanging out with Melvis?!



Jeff from Amazonia has gone and got himself a perm....so we had hours of fun playing that classic game of "dress the guy with the fro"



joe likes keytars..... a lot....



from here you can quite clearly see the downward spiral we rode til we couldn't be bothered to even take pics....

Year of the tiger magazine

So while Joe was way way way up in sky flying along, bored, he picked up the in flight magazine... only to find an article on none other than me. WEIRD! i had no idea.... luckily he's a thieving little so and so and he brought me a copy.

my lovely hands gracing the inside of the cover....

it's a small world after all....

so we bumped into the awesome Lina and Job on their way back from guesting at Chapel in Melbourne. I was gutted i didn't know they would be here coz i'd a killed to get a piece by Lina, but alas..... we made the most of the time we had!

cheeky

so, guess it's time to post some recent work....been a while i think.

but 1st up, i figured i'd post ross' recent work. here's vinni's new addition.....



and here's another addition to vinni.... a radioactive spider.... (the redness around is clear UV.)



our blacklight is a teeny lil' torch thing, so it was hard to get a photo....but here's the best i got...



yesterday did a fun lil' oneshot on a guy who clearly doesn't get enough sleep.... sat real well for 4 and a half hours, and didn't get done til the wee hours.



did this piece on a knitting fanatic. (it's a cover up too but the before pic isn't much worth posting)





lastly, got some fun little walk in's on a repeat customer and her friend who was visiting....

Mum

hope u had a good'un!



(and happy mother's day too)

i couldn't resist nicking this pic off her facebook. there she is, the lady herself with her little sister.
