please please please

so, what a shitty old week i've had.

anyways, here's a MORRISSEY tattoo i started up the other day, he had to tap out before we finished lining it though..... it's the lyrics to please, please, please. quite fitting really.

looking forward to getting that finished.

earlier today i had a fun lil cover up in. she gave me free reign, just wanted a butterfly. think it's my favourite butterfly i've tattooed.

and lastly, here's what i just finished up....

they're rorshach tests, again very fitting considering how i've been feeling.

getting a good photo of the one in the ditch was literally impossible.

in other news, way more awesome jolly feelgood news, guess who i ended up going out on the lash with?! Only Duncan from Snuff! he turned up in the pub i was in friday, we hit it off, ended up taking him to the crobar, and stayed out til half three. good times~!

we started off very pensive, philosophical almost...

resulted in being retarded with clothes pegs on our faces.

ooh, and i got him to draw on a cracker for me. it's now framed, and proudly displayed in my living room. ( y'all have no idea how long it took me to put this back together after a night out. couldnt find glue so had to repair it with double sided tape and hairspray.)

it's a shit. a beautiful shit.

best ever......

so today we started colouring the torture garden sleeve i started a while back on Chris aka tortoise guy.

here's what we got done......

i'm really having a blast doing this sleeve, he sits so damn well and is just so easy going that a full 7 hours tattooing flies by for me, where as normally by 3pm i'm getting ansy!

he also gives me the most awesome stuff.... in fact, my awesome stuff collection has increased profoundly since tattooing him......

behold.....

happy me n a blueprint of the enterprise (yes, i do get the irony considering what i'm wearing...) what can i say, star trek is my true love and star wars is the milkman.....

sonofagun

quick post coz i'm about to shoot to la grande rouge.... finished this today, started it yesterday, but had some time at work.....

it's in my square sketchbook which is impossible to scan, so this is a photo but good quality, so fuck it.

enjoy! :)

Gotsta love them nuts!

so just stayed late n finished off Kirsty's massive squirrel. It's a cover up of a .... big black rectangle with negative space shit?!

Here's what i was covering( obviously linework is in but u can still see.....) it really is huge, this is her upper thigh by the way.....

and here's what we got done.....

i think there's a good possibility we'll cover that skullerfly too, maybe leaves n flowers n stuff.

anyways, thanks for checkin y'all! til next time....

hell awaits

so it's been a while since my last post, having a smart phone has seriously dented my blogging drive, coz now i find myself just posting everything straight to facebook. sorry to all my faithful blogspot followers (who seem to be growing in number the less i blog?!).... i will try to rectify this asap!

so here's a fun cover-up i started a while back, looking forward to finishing this one.

she originally was thinking of the gramophone, the vines, the flowers, the feathers AND birds, clouds n' stars. think i have managed to dwindle it down to what we have here though.....

in other news, i've been baking some awesome gingerbread recently....

bought a cookie cutter box from r.dyas and it has some really random shapes. to be honest, some of them i can't even figure out?!

yesterday was my day off, and i took milo to the park near my house where he almost got eaten by a goose. crazy ass hissing goose on drugs. 

he's all good though.....

and i bought this book..... i have way too many books on the go at the minute, so this'll have to wait a while, but looking forward to this one!

it has awesome Mucha-esque/horror illustrations throughout. 

good stuff. til next time......

here's one i made earlier.....

so after just saying all the stuff i've been doing has been cover up's n continuations...... here's a fun 1-shot i just did on the lovely Alex. One of my favourite barmen. We didn't plan on doing it all in one, coz he only had 2 hours free. Whatever, gimme 2 hours and i'll run with it!

He's planning on a kinda day of the dead sleeve, and wanted this in memory of his dad..... wasn't sure how i was gonna do a day of the dead dagger, especially when i know he plans on proper sugar skulls and other stuff like that at a later date.... but i think this'll blend in well. worst case scenario, i'll give the lil' skully a moustache when the time comes! haha

4 down..... god knows how many to go!

so sorry i haven't posted much at all recently...... been starting a lot of pieces, but i'm not amazingly keen on posting work in prog, plus a lot of said pieces are cover up's.

so instead, i'm posting what i got up to this tuesday..... went for the 4th session on my back in maidstone.

voila.

in other news, went to go see the Slackers play the other night. awesome show, and Vic did a solo set at the electrowerkz straight after. only bout 20 ppl seemed to know about it, so it was pretty damn awesome!

good stuff.
