oh ya ! this is my goof ! she is the love of my life,

Dave Regan added some maple leaves to the namakubi he put above my knee at the beginning of July. I apologize for the awful day after picture. I really can't sing Dave's praises enough. He's a talented and funny fellow that makes getting tattooed a joy.

I love the aesthetics of books. Walls covered in bookshelves are the greatest thing ever. Homes should look like libraries.

Finally back at it. This one from Xam at Seven Doors, taken from Instagram:

got my knee done by matthew houston in amsterdam yesterday:

took that instagram picture, can't make my own cause its swollen like a watermelon at the moment. :D

Here they are (stolen from her instagram)! By Nora Townsend of Magnetic North Tattoo in Burlington, VT. So blown away by the end result and love how big (and low :eek:!) we went. Nora is so amazing, and it was refreshing to talk candidly about the tattoo industry and all our favorite artists. She's apparently heavily influenced by Wendy Pham... kickass! I was so impressed how knowledgeable a small town shop in the middle of nowhere VT can be. One of the co-owners of the shop showed me an old in-progress O'Donnell piece, soo good. Made me miss being in NYC, but very relieved to have a solid shop down the street from me!

Regino Gonzales of Invisible NYC. He's a cool dude.

For fun, my peony by Wendy Pham done as guest spot at Red Rocket Tattoo in NYC

Nekomata Monmon Cat - By Horitomo, State Of Grace.
Done at the London tattoo convention 2014!

Florian is really fast, well fastest artist I've had work on me.
My idea of course didn't work lol not enough room so we had a compromise. He has never**done a spider before, so I broke his virginity.
5 hours for this but this place is so painful and sensitive. Shit pics, red raw and swollen.
I personally love what he has done. The space was a lot smaller than we thought :)
Tomorrow off to Silvano again!

Had such a great time at the London Convention on Saturday, didn't get a chance to see much of it but I ended up getting tattooed by Greg Christian on top of my appointments with Bert Krak and Eli Quinters.
The frog and fly are from Eli and the eagle and snake from Greg (picture from his instagram). I dont have a picture of the Ed Hardy Butterfly I got from Bert but i'll post one when I do.

@Russ that Leopard is soo sweet!! Looks awesome!
Had this Eagle and Skull combo done at the convention by Paul Dobleman

Here you go!! And man it was so hot in there, pretty uncomfortable at points..

if i fits...i sits

awkward cleaning moments with our fur ball.

My cat was judging my beverage of choice the other night. (A good many of you have already seen this.)

Really sorry @SeeSee, we had to call time on our first dog Samson and it's a horrible surreal experience .
Having healthy pets really reinforces to us how anything should live and as hard as it was we / you did the right thing .
Anyway here's a couple of pics of our lads firstly on holiday in Blue Anchor beach and secondly blue steel Butch looking G.Q. smooth .

If you ever doubted that @RoryQ is a boss....

@MrToby
Yes, that was me with the kindle.
I think I saw that white rabbit on Instagram? Nice.
Although it was hot in the dock I almost think that was better than it being chilly if you were getting tattooed, but I guess it's a fine line.

Well... That was a pretty great weekend. I will summarise it briefly though.
Saw a whole heap of great tattoos and tattoo artists. I now really want to get a Filip Leu tattoo but that will have to go on some sort of wish list I reckon.
Got tattooed by Hori Shin on Saturday first thing. He did a cool little rabbit for me. It was great to get some tebori done again. Been a few years since I've had any Japanese hand poked work and this piece went pretty well. Basically all of the white in the fur is tebori. There were a couple of bits he had to go over a couple of times but they should heal up just fine I reckon.
Oh and it was insanely hot in Tobacco Dock this year. Anyone else think that it felt like a glass house at times?
Also @RoryQ I was looking at my photos this afternoon and wondered is this you getting your front tattooed by Tomo and looking very relaxed about the whole thing?

New Electric Wizard is streaming y'all!

Got this chest eagle off Steve Byrne last week

Don't think I posted these either
Fudo of Stewart Robson

Leopard off Valerie Vargas

Scorpion off Valerie too

And this mad skull off Andrea Furci

Got this Namakubi from Pino Cafaro on Saturday at the London Tattoo Convention. Pino was a great guy and I'm vey happy with the outcome. It's on my chest so it was hard for him to tattoo given that there was no bench. Tricky to do in a chair.

Looks like Valerie Vargas & Stewart Robson are opening up a new shop soon: Modern Classic Tattoo | Coming Soon!
