ooooouuuuuuuccccchhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

so, i never thought id say this but i really should have listened to my daddy, david finally got to scar me for life with a tattoo and do you know im really pleased with the final result. i added some work to a tattoo my dad had done for me many years ago and i think its worked really well, initially i wanted around the tattoo that was there already but then i thought no i can take the pain ill get it leading onto my ankle, crikey and i thought labour was painful. we had a bit of trouble getting the transfer on initially so we had to cut it in half and kind of piece it together around the bones in my ankle but we got the picture on in the end and for a first tattoo i think he did a great job really.
i would never recommend it to anyone and ill never be stupid enough to get one on the other ankle but i love it. thank you david well done im very proud.

and sorry ladies an gents again i took the pictures on the camera the wrong way round so please tilt your heads to the right to get a clearer view of the pictures. one day ill break into the modern era and become pooter literate.
this one is a bit blurred sorry its the light bouncing off the huge quantity of lotions and potions i put on it to ease the pain lol.

bookings

well well well who would have thought that just mentionning the need for a holiday would scare away all the customers i had, i cant believe that the last tattoo i did was so long ago........
ive got a couple booked in for after christmas though having spoken to a couple of people they would have me tattoing on christmas day if i could.
then i think it will be new year before i can get anymore on the go. it takes so long for word of mouth to get business going but i can always buy some practice skin if i get really bored.
so ive got a couple more names to look forward to doing and some guy asked me if i would mind doing a shrek portrait on him, why would i mind? its all money for my ever increasing credit card bill.
so hopefully there will be some new pictures soon for you all to see and pic holes in lol
if i dont get to the computer beforehand though i hope you have a wonderful christmas and new year xxxx thanks for reading

i need a holiday

goodness me one sniff of a cheap tattoo and the mad scots come flocking in lol, its been a busy week this week really, first lot we had in were a group from glasgow, after some names in a nice type of writing that wasnt going to hurt too much, ha ha ha. how do you tell a well known nutter that his tattoo wont hurt a bit??

if you can rotate your pooters again people it spells kacey which is the name of the guys daughter. im sure when shes older her mum will take great pleasure in telling her what a wuss her dad was, he kept pulling his arm away and jumping about like a looney. when i did the letter k at the top near his elbow he actually managed to sit still but bit straight through his t-shirt button, however he was overjoyed with the final result and has said he will be back to get his sons name on the other arm when he next gets payed, or when he works up the bottle to come back, whichever happens first.

ignoring all the rubbish o the table in the background please! this was the first guys girlfriend and she had the name of their son logan on her wrist now talk about pain threshhold. this lassie didnt even blink, due to past history she was ever so worried but managed to sit through it no problem she completely put her man to shame. well done cheryl!!!!!

this one only took 15mins in total which i was pleased with, and again she would like to come back again to get her daughters name on the other wrist.

this was another funny one the lad was really worked up about it and didnt know what to do, he changed his mind twice about what he wanted done and where it was going but he did not bad really. a lot of breaks and a lot of fags later and it was done, originally he wanted it coloured but i think after turning the shade of ghost and all the numbness he experienced in his hand he only ended up getting a couple of bits of the letters coloured in. note the green/white pattern he chose as a token gesture to his footie team, stinky celtic, lol.

the last one here was the next day and a friend of ours wanted her boyfriends name on her somewhere and while i tried to talk her out of it she stuck to her guns saying that if they did split up she could always say it was for her brother who has the same name. this altogether took about 40mins, the outline was done in no time at all an the colouring was too but we did stop for a dinner break in the middle. mmm it was fried chicken incase you were wondering.

my friday night customers let me down having spent all their money during the week but im sure they will be back, in a way im glad to have the night off, whoever said that tattooing was an easy business?????

help!!!!!

ive been busy busy since the last time i wrote still waiting for delivery of certain items but thats only to be expected really.

ivw done a few tattoos this week already, david wanted bloomin dilligaf on his hand, i swear the slogan is taking over the world at the moment. he didnt want the usual writing so we vamped it up a little bit with a devil theme though its hard to make out from this photo. it was difficult to get the ink into his skin at the side of his hand and he did spend a lot of time telling me just how sore it was but it went in in the end and he loves it which is great.

the next one was a lad wanting his name on the back of his arm, the name if youre finding it hard to see is Stephen from elbow to wrist, it was the lads first tattoo and it hurt him a little bit bless him he kept jumping when the needle touched him and one jump was so bad he made me jump and i nearly dropped the machine i got such a fright. he sat through it though and it looks good, he was a glutton for punishment though, he said when i finished would you mind writing mum on my wrist? get him the hard man, thankfully the writing was freehand and he didnt flinch at all maybe he got used to the pain.

it was quite sweet actually he has three brothers and they are all in turn getting the very same tattoo in the very same place. i thought it was a nice idea really. fortunately his brother was there with him so i nailed his on too.

thankfully i must have done something right as the lad promised he would be back, (every fortnight when he gets his money).

brilliant!! one regular customer to pay my credit card bill.

ive maybe got a little one to do tonight a little heart with wings and a halo if the girl ever makes her mind up, but she might wait until friday night when her and her boyfriend and her boyfriends mum and brother come round. another late night for me on friday i think. mostly though it will just be writing which is quite quick and easy to do.

also i suppose i should let david do my butterfly this week hes champing at the bit to get going on it. he hates it when im better at something than he is. lol see you next time.
