nope its not dejavu lol this is a different person, remember andrew that got the koi?? well this is his latest addition. baby shambles album cover with the name in the bottom scroll changed from pete doherty to f**k forever which is a song off the album.

Down in Albion is apparently another song written about the pub that pete frequents, so it was of course important enough to make it into the tattoo.

he also got oasis written on his lower arm and is coming back later for some oasis lyrics on his arm too. poor guy works nights and hadnt had any sleep whatsoever by the time he got to me, didnt know his ass from his elbow lol hopefully hell be more awake later on lol xx

davids collection

this is a tattoo i did before i went on holiday with the help of my daddy. its an image to represent davids pets, bolt, our dog and nugget, our lizard.

it was the first time i used some big flat needles and i was really suprised at how quick i got the thing done with them. ive used them a few times since and have really enjoyed the speed of the work x

the next one is a little tribute to ellis' most recent phase. the thundercats. david and i both loved the cartoon when we were little and now they have remade the series for cartoon network and ellis is loving it. we had a little trouble getting the red ink into david as it just didnt seem to be taking. looking at it today though it could just have been the bad light i was using lol poor david hahahaha
picture number three is of the stig. david has always been a fan of top gear and has always coveted the stigs job. he is hoping that if he sends a photograph to the show they might let him test drive a vehicle or two on the top gear test track. im quite proud of this one as it was really quick to do and really quite effective.

a busy nights work

this was a first tattoo and i think kellys ma was dead brave.. she initially thought it was going to be really painful but breezed through it as i knew she would. 47 and only just getting round to getting a tattoo lol what a girl.

well done kellys ma xxxx

kellys sister, who i think is called cherie but im not sure, she was just introduced as kellys sister lol got mum and dad too with a slightly different design underneath it was also her first tattoo and she was also really brave. sisters are doin it for themselves xx

this belongs to kellys pal Mariah though i dont know if ive spelt that right. she has gone home with dad on her hand with a little love heart and this on the back of her neck. the picture is crap as usual but it says Arms of the Angels, which are lyrics from a very beautiful song of that name and from the film city of angels.

mariah was really pale so i had a little bit of trouble gettin the black to be black but we got there in the end lol

and last but not least kelly came and got yet another one, a simple but very effective flowers and stars design on the outside of her right leg.

out of all of them she said this one hurt the most but i dont think its deterred her from getting anymore..

so 7 tattoos in three and a half hours , i dont think thats too bad lol im tired now though the concentration is exhausting xxx

names and dates

this first one belongs to yet another customer you may remember from my last post the two girls that came in, well kelly the girl whos name i didnt know, this is her man and Declan is the name of their little boy. he did really well and we got through it really quickly.

kelly came back for her childrens initials and birthdays on her other arm to balance herself out . they are coming back on saturday for some more xx

judgement

this was one of five that i did yesterday, two new customers wanted the names of their kids put on them, donna had her nephew Declan' name put n her arm with his date of birth( i didnt get a picture of that though) and then Declans mum i didnt catch her name, got Declan down her neck, her other kiddies Shelby and Jodi on her hands and then this Only God can Judge Me on her arm. it was initially meant to go across her back but she decided the arm would be better as she doesnt really show her back off very much xx

more links on a chain

this picture isnt all that great but the image is meant to be a rusty chain the top two were someone elses work and the bottom two were mine. it was very difficult to try and match the two new links up to the two older ones but i think i did quite a good job. each link has the name and dates of various revolutionarys from history. the two i did were guy fawkes and che geuvara. its a complicated idea but quite an effective one i think. vince has more names to add to the chain so will be back in a few weeks for them to be added on at the bottom x

a busy evening

these two have been waiting a long time to sit down and get inked. the first is a grim reaper belonging to gordon it was a bit of a nightmare as he reacts badly to green. but if you look closely the reapers cloak has haunted faces in it. the blue was a mixture of three different colours and i think it turned out quite well.

the second one belongs to sharleen who because she loves me so very much she chose tribal grrr i hate tribal. i think its ok though and i needed the practice so im glad in a way xx thanks sharleen x

this was a strange one to do but good fun. davids friend pelle, wanted this from the album cover of Pete Dohertys band. he has met the infamous singer a few times and wanted a tribute in ink.
the bit at the bottom says 'to mary barr' which is the name of his girlfriend, instead of 'by peter doherty'. so pelle killed the two birds with one stone there i think lol.
it was good fun for me as it was on his left side on his ribs. (evil laugh) a notoriously painful patch.
he deserves everything he got lol xx
