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.

Lifeboat Tattoos

Until October 15 I'm going to be doing some small tattoos for RNLI, they cost £25 and £20 will go towards the charity. So come get a nautical tattoo and help a good cause at the same time!

We've been pretty busy recently working on a lot of big pieces. Here are a couple of photos of the smaller stuff we've been doing.

Joe

Had a nice traditional pocket watch to do yesterday.

Chris got this tattooed horse head for his birthday and we're going to be adding a couple more horses and some roses to make a whole side piece. The lucky guy's in for a lot of fun with this one.

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.

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.

Summer time's coming!

All this sunshine is great! Also got to do some work on Chris, finished off a matching girl sugar skull on his other shoulder and managed to get a picture of the original one healed.

Also got started on this cover up, the original design was a bit of flash I'd drawn up and just changed a bit to help cover up the dragon, really pleased with the first sitting and can't wait to put the back ground and colour in

And a piece of flash drawn up by Jo of an Angel, really fun piece to do and get finished!

Update day

Been quite a busy week so here's a few photos I managed to take.

Hand of Fatima with some roses. Hopefully we'll be continuing this on the make a whole sleeve, so more pics soon.

First session on a dragon half sleeve. Can't wait for the next session.

Little Sugar Skull design. Good fun piece.

The next session on the William Morris design I posted previously.

Banksy design with a phrase incorporated.

Happy New Year

Bouncing Souls logo slightly modified

Custom Ganesh piece on Georgia, really fun to do and finished in one sitting

£30 Flash hands on Kay

£30 Flash love potion on David

Courage script on Georgie's ribs

Some close ups of Ben's arm, there's a picture of the full sleeve posted a few months ago as well.

Another week

Got to do another Sugar Skull and colour in a rose that I did on Chris a while back. Was good fun and we should be doing more work on his upper arm soon

Here are a couple of designs Jo Ardiles has drawn up and people have got done, both fun pieces to do.

More good stuff

Lot's of fun work in this week, here's a few pics that I managed to take...

This is on my friend Jay's foot to celebrate The Day of the Dead, just a fun little one to do

This next one just got completed this morning, it's on Sam and I think it turned out really well. Some bits are fresh but the Blue robe is all healed up

This last one is on Stacey who also has the Owl and the Pussycat in a fancy frame as well, really looking forward to finishing it off

And also I've just started this massive back piece on Paul and I'll get a better picture when we get the next session laid down

Been a while since the last post

Plenty of new work to put up! Had my friend Andrew come in a get a sweet pin up on his neck which was fun and a bit of a challenge, and also had a couple of custom jobs to do later in the week.

 

 

  

  

To start this week I had Peter and Ray come in, both people I've been working on for a while. Peter had a portrait of his mum on his arm, and I also got to take a photo of a religious piece I've been doing for a while. He likes it as it is but I'd still like to put a bit more work into it.

Ray had a highway man put into his sleeve and hopefully he should have both arms completely finished before summer.

 

Late one from last night

Fun piece from last night, couple hours work and hopefully it'll be added to later on.
