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.

Busy times
Been a bit busy recently and haven't had much time to update, but here's some of what we've been doing!
Start of a dragon half sleeve, a lot more work to do but it'll end up claret and blue as Mark's a big Hammers fan for some reason
A nice dagger on Chris, fun to keep it simple and traditional
Finally got a healed picture of Dean's half sleeve
A key for Kay, really enjoyed doing this kind a black and grey work
Rose Cover up
Black and grey Swallow, lots of great traditional stuff to do
Another japanese piece as well, looking forward to putting some bright colours in this one

State of the Art 2011
Such a great weekend, had great fun and met some great people. Just can't wait to work the next one now! Want to tell everyone to check out:
http://www.tattoohq.co.uk/ - Chris and Brenden did some stunning work over the weekend and were really friendly guys.
http://www.facebook.com/Diamondinkts - Faye was working next to us and helped us out loads. She started and Finished a cowgirl pin up over the convention that ended up looking sweet. I also got to do a little tattoo on Elsa the piercer there, great studio up in Sheffield.
http://www.twistedinktattoo.co.uk/ - We met Chardaine, Jamma Dodger and Jack at the pre show party and was great to talk tattoos to. They did some big work over the weekend and there's a lot of good stuff to look at on the website.
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=196217949072 - I tattooed Adam and his apprentice Kelly with a couple of small tattoos. Another great studio who were set up along our row. Adam did some really nice fun tattoos, and it was a great way to end by tattooing him.
Everyone we met were a pleasure to talk to, from other tattooists to customers to people just stopping by, was a really friendly atmosphere which carried on throughout the weekend.
Unfortunately we didn't take a picture of every tattoo we did but here's a couple

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.
