2013

Happy new year, and welcome to our new website. The decision was made to give the site a do over, the old one had served us well for the past few years but we've gone for a brighter and hopefully easier to navigate site for you to use.
Over Christmas we've been very busy with a lot of large work in, there's some photos in this post, but Andy and I now have our own portfolios online for you to have a look through, just click on the Galleries link.
We want to wish all our clients the best for the new year and we'll see you soon.

New stuff

Just a few new pieces to post up from me and I finally managed to get a couple of things Andy's been working on as well.

Farrell

Nice bright girl's face, will hopefully get a healed photo soon

Finished off this religious half sleeve on Reece last weekend, going to be extending it with another angel and make it into a full one in the next few months

Another religious arm piece, lots of fun tweaking out the background and tying the whole design together

A pocket watch and compass on my friend Kay

An ankh with a scarab beetle on Noddy, she brought in a different design to this so I had to change it around and redraw it to work better for her

And lastly this lovely goose. My client wanted to go smaller with it, but it had a lot of meaning to her and I felt it was such a strong image I convinced her to get it this size. We're both happy we did as it's become a much more striking piece which sits perfectly on her arm

I've been lucky recently to have clients let me do my own thing with their designs. These are just a few tattoos I've done recently where I've had a lot of free reign and because of that I feel we've both ended up with more than we'd hoped. I just want to say thank-you to everyone who's put their trust in me recently and I can't wait to decorate you some more!

Andy

Andy did this Jesus in one sitting. I love the detail in his work and I was impressed to see him sit down for so long working tirelessly on it, and also to the client having the will to sit through it and get it done in one shot

This is a piece of flash that Andy redrew for his client and gave her a more modern updated version of a classic

He's not got too much more to do with this back piece, a couple more sittings and it should be all done

What Andy's been up to

Here are a few pieces on customers that Andy's been working on.

Lots of black and grey religious tattoos, starting with a little cherub

Piece of Boog flash

Knocked this out in one sitting

Really nice delicate flowers on the shoulder

Nice sexy angel that Andy custom designed

Done from a piece of Farrell's flash

Sun and moon design

Custom swallows and scroll

Spring time

Thank God the weather's started to get nice, hopefully it'll be staying like this for a while! I won't be around for the next few weeks, so Andy will be running things at the shop and looking after everyone who comes in. If you have any questions then you can email him Andy@Accomplicetattoo.co.uk, and he'll be able to help you out.
Before I leave, here's a couple of recent pieces I've done.

Farrell

Got to do a nice big rose on Christina earlier in the week, she sat like a trooper and it looked great in the end

Did a crow on Tom to go on the same arm as his owl that I tattooed before

Friendship Hello Kitty tattoos FTW

Couple of small swallows on Karis

Finished up Shiran's arm, just a detail shot of the angel, a bit different to what I usually do but really enjoyed this one

Goodbye until November!

I'm going to be off on Tuesday until 10th November (but Jo and Eva will still be here), so before I leave, here's some things we've been tattooing recently.
Also, I'd like to thank everyone who got a RNLI tattoo, we managed to raise £100 for the charity and bang out a few nifty tattoos, so thanks for getting them done!

Joe

Finished Mauro's other half Sleeve, (he has this dragon koi on his right arm), well, it's almost finished, we still have the inside to do but it's good to get the dragon completed!

Had lots of fun tattooing this on Adrian, we're almost finished with this sleeve as well and should hopefully get it done on Monday.

Always good to tattoo a skull!

Hayden's first tattoo was definitely a brave start! Nice to do something a little different to what I usually do.

September

We've been very busy recently, mostly with ongoing pieces and neither Eva nor myself have really taken photos of pieces in progress, just waiting to post the finished article. Here's some of the stuff we have taken photos of:

Joe

A little cover up on Anna, a nice quick fun one

Managed to do this in a few hours on Jason's arm. We're going to add some doves in a couple weeks and finish off the background.

Sail ship on Sean, Going to add red to the rose and then add some more bits to complete a full sleeve, I love doing this kind of work

Heart locket and Key on Wendy, this is a healed photo and I'm really happy with the way it's turned out

Eva and I have been treated to some really nice pieces recently, we're both lucky to have customers who give us an idea and free skin to go to town with, and it's great to get some big pieces finished and looking better than we planned.

Joe

I managed to finish off Anthony's leg today and get a picture of the finished product.

This was a great walk-in piece on Saturday and very fun to do, F.T.W.

Zepplin art work, because they're the best band ever I'm told.

And some Boog flash finished, the top half's healed up, bottom's still red and fresh.

Summer piercing deal!

So along with out Facebook fan page deal, our local friendly piercer Alice is offering a loyalty card scheme with piercings. It is usually get 4 and have the 5th for free, but until the end of August she is offering every third piercing for free! You can share the card with your friends, or keep it all to yourself, but pay for 2 piercings and get number 3 for nothing. Just phone up the shop to see when she's in and then come pick up your loyalty card.

Eva has also started her own blog so for just her work, have a look at http://evatattoo.blog.com/

And just a reminder, next weekend we will be working at the State of the Art convention in Derby, and unfortunately we will be shut on Friday and on the Saturday.

And here's what we've been up to in the shop;

This is the start of a half sleeve designed by Jo, there's going to be some clouds and heavenly gates added to it along with some doves.

Managed to finish Christian's Rose, and will get started on the next one soon. Only managed to get a camera phone picture, sorry for the quality.

And I got to start off the week with this drag queen pin up on Teagan. Going to put colour in it later on and we're getting started on another on the other foot on thursday.

Bank Holiday BBQ!

A bit short notice but I've been too busy to post this sooner, but on the 25th April we'll be having a BBQ at the back of the shop with everyone welcome. If you're in the area and want some burgers and what not then come on by, it's all free and we only ask you donate a little money which will go straight to www.barnados.org.uk.

Work wise, there's been a lot of good stuff in!
