Something for the weekend 19

I've certainly had a busy February so far!! Two big conventions and lots of tattooing, it's taken it's toll for sure, but it feels worth it.

First things first, Brighton convention was a blast, the new venue is much better and felt much more spacious. Having everything under one roof was a huge bonus. I would highly recommend going next year and I will most certainly be working it again.

I was also lucky enough to win a small award (Highly Commended) for the Baku I did on the Saturday

 

I managed to squeeze in two Namakubi (severed heads) which I enjoyed very much. The first one was freehanded on. I used a stencil for number two because it was from a biro doodle I had done.

In other news my interview on Ladies and Ink was posted, clicking on the picture will take you there.

The skateboard is finally finished and up for sale. You can contact me via the shop for more info on price etc: inkme@nineboycesstreet.com

Finally here are some pictures of what I've worked on in the shop.

Milan convention

Just a quick update. The Milan convention was an absolute blast and if you have the inclination I would highly recommend it as something to visit. I had a really nice time meeting up with old friends and making a few new ones.
I managed to get a couple of cool freehand tattoos done alongside some doodles.

Brighton is this weekend, I hope to see some of you there. I'm fully booked, but I will have some prints and original artwork for sale. If I look busy don't worry about disturbing me as it's all part of working a convention.

Cheers

Something for the weekend 18

This week has been on the quiet side. With the Milan and Brighton conventions looming ever nearer I decided to take things a bit easier to conserve energy for the madness.
Indeed this time next week I'll be in Italy and hopefully working on a tattoo. So the blog will be next updated the Friday before the Brighton convention.

I did manage to get some cool work done this week and another tattoo that I forgot to take pictures of is shaping up nicely.

I've also been asked to contribute my work to a blog that features female tattooist, for the month of February it is showcasing male tattooists, so I was honored to share my thoughts and work.
Once the article is published I will post a direct link, for those that wish to check out the site now (which I highly recommend) this is a link: https://ladiesandink.jux.com/
