They were built by the Germans to stop allied forces going around the top of Europe.

Mikkel allowed me to do a swallow on his them thar arm

Tina was strong,sat like a strong person.
In a very strong way.
Tak Tina.

Sophie and I had a real good business idea for people in a trade of sorts,where a lamp shade persistantly gets in the way of your face,but where a peak-cap or hat of sorts is required to help reduce the glare of the lamp.
Tina is studying medicine,wanting to go in the direction of becoming a surgeon of sorts.
Thus…..that is when it hit me……………..
‘Brow-augmentation’………BAAAAAMMMM!!!!!!!!
i/you could get brow implants,thus making any hat of sort void.
they could come in a range of sizes…….34 BB…..perhaps saline for that realistic feeling…..silicone for that bounce,its up to you.
if they are in the way,or perhaps you want them to keep there shape in the years to come………there is a solution………..
BROW-BRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!unless that time comes when you embarrassingly have to tuck them behind your ears.
maybe your are more inclined to a sportier lifestlyle????
SPORT-BROW-BRA!!!!!!!no more flappy brows hitting you in the face while trying to return that serve from McEnroe!!
or…..maybe you enjoy the fun in the sun on the beach………..
BROW-KINI!!!!!!!!!make sure you go for that that brow-kini-wax before you go!!!
anyway,heres Tinas tattoo

Jesper wanted Wonder-Woman tattooed,allowing me to add a bit of this n that,so i added a camelia flower.

Steffen got his tape cassette unreeling into miss Munroe

My friend Mads,otherwise known as ‘the Boy’,got a man-rose on his foot.

some more pics will go up soooooooooonn………….

tak

europe’s totally radical.

Radical ass-ness!!!!

Found this site on another persons blog.
it’s radical.
Look how hot it makes me look……
you get to stick things on in a myriad of ways.

new things

!!!!!!!!Soon my lady and I are off to France and such,for a much needed and deserved holiday.
So,that means I will only be taking more appointments again from the 27th of September!!!!!!!!!!

…………………………………………………………………………………….
Micheal Jones’s start to his sleeve.
His fathers name is David,hence the Davey Jones locker.
awesome.
A piebold octopus,with some jellyfushuss’s,and a couple o’ blue whale so far.

Did a bit more on Benjamins man-chest,he’s coming in again this week to do the other side.
It can be a pretty draining couple of hours getting your chest tattooed.
but ben is strong like bokwurst.

also did some more on adelines thigh.
not quite fininshed,still to colour the frame and to cover-up the ‘thing’ inside it.
awehnesss braaaaaahhhhhh………….
lank stoked bru

My main-man
This is FACE………no,not from the fukkin’ A-team.
The other of the two American Bulldogs my lady and I co-habitate with.
Look at his face,he has a handsome bastard of a face.
his facial structure is likeable.

…….this ain’t no popularity contest…………….dickhead.

christ,look at her…………just wanna………
looking all cute and shit………..
they’ve destroyed 3 and a half couches,7 pairs of shoes,the interior of my automobile,about +-30m of hose pipe,4 brooms,a good few items of clothing,many a plug,they eat razor-blades(literally),a duvet,they can get in a locked cupboard,pull out everything from inside and then piss on it,a rose bush and every other plant around,cutlery,they thoroughly enjoy toilet paper,5 soccer balls………….and probably more.

but…………they are amazing animals,they’re part of the family and they will protect us from any bastards that mess with us………

they will bite your face off if you are not nice…….with their teeth……..and then piss on you,just like our belongings in the cupboard.

christopher here got an ornate anchor on his fore-arm,with the positioning arranged so that whilst smoking many a cigarette,it will be visible to onlookers.
you see,smoking can be good for you…….
thanks chris!

well,well,well……………..well what do we have here……..?
I think they both woke up that same dorky morning,thinking the same dorky things………..
two dorks……………….wearing the same dorky t-shirts….the same dorky beanies……the same dorky glasses……….
christ………avoid them if you see them.

wooooooo……..wooooooooooop dah’ woooooooooooop………sheeeeeeeeeeet.
Keenan got this here little owl i did draw.
i bet that owl thinks he’s real smart with his heart-locket on his chest………flying around……….in-front of all the other owls……with the key in his grasp……………he is in control.
thanks keenan.
enjoy ‘Ing-guh-lund’.

These next 2 pictures are of the start of Tanjas back-piece.
It’s ‘Yaegaki Hime’,i re-drew it slightly different from the original,but still keeping all the necessary detail intact.
The story goes that,Yaegaki(i think that is correct?),who’s lover died in battle,dances with his helmet,as though she is possesed by the Kitsune(fox-spirits).
But,she’s actually really driven by sadness.
(……damn villagers and their gossip……)
Tanja’s husband ,Niel,is also a warrior-lover,but he’s possesed by the spirit of ‘Facebook’(or ‘Assbook’,’Assface’,’…….etc.’).


I managed to get all the main outlines done,the next session will be the detail in her Kimono.

This was Devins’ second session on his asian sleeve.
he had already some exsisting tattoos that he wanted to keep and somewhat incorporate.
He sat like a demon,but cried like baby……
he didn’t really cry,but i’m sure he did on the inside.
getting you elbow tattooed is a relatively enjoyable experience.
i thoroughly enjoyed having my elbows tattooed,so why dont you?
come in……..sit down with me,while we discuss the various options and endless possibilities of the future of your elbows.
trust me……you don’t want to be too old,and worrying about when,or where you’re going to get those knobbly little suckers beautified by my fair,but stern hands.

I was going to tattoo the following picture on Grant………….
a somewhat latina styled chola,but suddenly,i realised i am not from East LA.
So,with little reference that we had,and little influence courtesy of Mr.Cartoon and Mike LaSage,i managed to whip up my very first clown-faced ‘Chica’……..he-seh’………
‘…choo’ dont know me……’
boy,did i feel loco…..
(i’m not going to quote Cypress Hill)
i kiiiiiiiiiinda did my own unrelated background,a mandala of sort….and kiiiiiiiiiinda did very un-LA style roses,whatever that means.
But,i treally enjoyed drawing this.
By the time we finished ,i only had time to do a little one.
So we did the ‘Family’ on his hand.

Some new sheeeeeeeeeeeet………….

Leopold here wanted an ornate key attached to a key-ring attached to his arm in a somewhat ‘violent’ manner………
man……..is this a violent key-ring,or is this a violent ke-ring!?!?!?!?!
after i got over all the violence,blood,pain,anguish,hardship and emotional roller-coasterednessess………i bottled it all up,far away,in my frontal lobe,where it is to be stored safely,till the day comes for that very much needed lobotomy.
then i proceeded to tattoo the image in a somewhat orderly manner.
As i fought against the violent torrent of blood pissing in my face,i knew,sometime,somewhere……..somehow…..i’ll finish this tattoo……
boy oh boy…….did i finish it…..
did i finish it?
yes….i did.
i finshed it good……real good.
Leo,you sat like a champ.
well done.
Thank you.

Hierdie rooi roos is op Jeanette.
n roos is n blom.
i gooied dit op haar arm met a tjuprewolwer.
dankie.

CJ allowed me to got to that little town i go to quite often………’Drawsomethingandslapiton’.
A juxtaposition of camelias,a heart and an ornately hooded peregrine falcon.
ca-caaaaaaaawwwww……..fweeeeep-fweep………….woooooooooo……..flappity-flap………..prrrrrrrrrrrrrrt.
thats the sound a falcon makes.
it represents the elusive,but yet fragile hints of frailty amongst distant emotionless memories of yester-years show-tunes.
thanks Christy.
You sat the whole line-work in a single session……crazy.
well done.

schnelfichenhosen

put a bit of colour in Jaco’s ladies the other day.

this here is a ‘jack-a-panther-lope’,on my friend Ryan ‘Micheal’ Bolton.
he also makes tattoos on people in Joburg.

Neele got her flower tattoo finished the other day,good,strong and wholesome German lady.
thanks Shai and Neele.

Jason here is busy getting his other ‘twybhal’ tattoos covered up with some japanese inspired 3/4 sleeves.
this time he took it like a man.
Jason makes and owns bread,at Jardine Bakery,he owns that too,around the corner.
He has his very own special ‘yeast’ he harvests himself.
He now sells better coffee.
He makes very nice ‘s..s ..s ..s ..samm’iche’s…..’.
He talks alot.

Added a bit of colour to Adelines leg piece.
She sits like an Amazon warrior lady.
not a squeak…….not even a flinch.
sets a high standard of how to handle getting tattooed.

Gideon got his chest man-handled by me the other day.
drew this up for him,as i do with most tattoos i do.
fun to do,cant wait to start the colouring.
thank you Gideon.

Craig wanted a rat wiff’ blossoms,so i drew him this then proceeded to tattoo it on him.
thanks Craig.

did this here little birdie on Abbi

Camel piss

Here’s Leon’s panther.
reeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwww………
added the bits of coulour we didnt manage to do last time.

Ulrica got me to do a highly intellectual owl on her finger.

He did the Comrades marathon,this is how his legs felt afterwards.

Jaco here allowed me to do some real puuurrrrrrty ladies on his arm.
He gave me some ideas and so i drew him up 1 lady based on a Mike Giant girlie in my own way,the one with the snakes,roses and day of the dead make-up.
The other lady got herself a nice hat.
Got most of the linework done,some gaps are left to fill up for the next session,possibly with yet another fine woman,to make it a round 3 dames.
I really enjoy being able to draw up things like this.
So if this style suits your wants,come round and i’ll try my best to make it puuurrrrrrrrrty.

I dont get ‘ferns’,or ‘heart’ designs in my coffee…………i get this……
Thank you Anele.

Das ist zupa

Icht sproiken ze Duetsch.
Ja.

This here is Waldo’s hand.
He asked for a fraulein mit und fox,ja.
I did draw this up then proceeded to tattoo it on to him.
Dankie Waldo.

This here be Neil,he brought in the image,just made a couple small changes.

Jason here let me go to the big bad town of ‘Drawitupthewayyoulikeitandtattooitonme’.
It was alot of fun to do,forgot to do the rose-bud top right,but we can sort that out next session.
Thank you Jason.

Vai a fanculo!…….ciao….’

I speak’a da Italian’a…….wiff’a my mouth’a….like a spicy meat’a-ball’a.
Today I tattooed Mara.
I drew up and tattooed a diamond on her foot,then Mara taught me some Italian.
vai a fanculo.
I’m international now.
Thank you Mara!
Ciao Mara!

This is the other lady in my life.

This pic was taken in January,around the time of the S.I.X Cape Town Tattoo convention.
We’re on the way back from Robben Island,after a brief tour and hand poked prison style tattoos we tattooed on eachother.

(Most of these tattoos are not too recent,they just got mixed up with other pics.)

This little pocket knife is on michael.
Thank you for the picture!!,it is framed in my work room,with my stash of cool shit.

I drew this for micheal cooper.
Thanks micheal,you champ you.

Neil came in to finish a tattoo that was already finished,but we’re both to ‘tard to remember that i can’t finish a tattoo that i had already finished,when i finished it the last time.
so,i drew this up for him and tattooed it.
Neil’s a tough guy,he listens to rap-hop.
He ‘rap-sprays’ walls with street art paint.

Lukey-poo,has had a couple tattoo’s by me,this is’nt the most recent,but i realised i hadn’t actually put this one up.
Thanks Luke,you steaming hot slab of man chunk.

Finally………’Beyond the Permafrost……’

I tattooed some rap-tastic Nederlanders vanaf Die Hague the other day.
UBUNTU’ is a South African saying………

One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu - the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can’t exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can’t be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality - Ubuntu - you are known for your generosity.

We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole world. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity.’- Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

He says rad stuff,I couldn’t have put it better myself……..’ - Archbonehead David S Chaston.

These four homies are in a rap-band called ‘Kernkoppen’.
Frank,Frank,Guus and Tom.
I remembered.

Guus

Thank’s guys!Hope all is well and the album is doing great!

Here’s some ‘winkie’ coffee art…..

I did paint this with my mind……

….and paint this with my ear…

Between customer tattoo appointments,I drew this up and tattooed it within 1 hour on our desk-boy,Leon.
Almost finished it,but my next appoinment arrived.
‘…….reeeeeeoooooowwww…….rooooooowwwwwww….’
That’s panther talk for important panther stuff.

This is my pumpkin,doing the ‘pumpkin dance’ at her Birthday Bash/dinner/fun-time at ‘Superette’,where she doth make delicious eats.

I tattooed this on my friend Adeline,now I’m going to make a painting of it.

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMME………I’m,like,so lame…….pffffffffff.

I have been pretty lame at updating this here blog lately………
Buuuuuuuuut……my komputor crashed,then my ladies komputor did broke aswell.
swak-tits-ahooooooii…….lank swakkels ek se chynah……
There’s a ton o’ foto’s I need to upload,a ton to write,but i have already forgotten all the pearls that shot through my mind,but they disappear as quickly as they are thought of anyway.

Anyway,this here tattoo I did make on Sandy.
Her first tattoo,really fun to do,and she was tough as tarmac.
Thank ou Sandy,you champ you.

This black and white art foto really captures the soul of Russell………
Actually it’s because he’s ginger and I couldn’t bear for anyone to see his leathery-sun-licked-be-freckled ginger hand.
It’s a mandala/lp of sorts.
Russell works one day……,i mean ‘entertains’ us once a week with his A.D.D fueled Tourette syndrome antics and bowel-movement conversation with our customers.
Never the less,he is a gem of a human being.

This is Ninja,from ‘Die Antwoord’,getting tattooed ‘prison style’,by Tyler.

Benjamin sat like a muh’fukka’ with his chest piece.
Goddam tough bastard,didn’t think he would last,but,we got 99% of the line-work done.
I drew it up for him,with a couple changes here and there.
But I really really really love doing work like this.
Thank you Ben,for letting me go to town with this ‘un.

GEOMETRY……..i like it.
Raymaond here is a swell human being.
Always a pleasure.

Bruce here I done known for a while now.
Gave his two,somewhat,cameos,of the sort,a freshening up,and a bit more…..pazazz,if you will.

Dave Noellert is an awesome human.
He hails from New Orleans,thats in Americania.
He spent 2 months by us here at Sins o’ Style.
Never a bad word said,only gave good things.
Especially good tattoos.
Tyler and myself gave him his ‘S.O.S’ tattoo,to make him a honorary member of our family.
Thank you Dave and Sylvia.

Graeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemeeeeee………….schweeet boet.
My friend Greame has been a regular customer for the past 3 yrs.
Did this a week or so ago on his man-chest.

My Amazonian friend,Adeline.
The old,hand poked tattoo in the middle,is being kept,so i designed a frame,finch,pearls and flowers to go with it.
She’s tough as hell,didn’t flinch the whole way.
Again,I really really enjoy and appreciate my customers putting trust into my design and tattooing.
Thank you Adeline.

…….i’m the killer wolf…..’

Danzig ain’t got shit on my belt-buckle!!!!
“Chikka-pow-wow-chunky-junk!!!!”
….sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet…….
It’s made from pure Kudu horn.
It weighs about 732kg’s.
I actually had to drag it up a tree,then ate the whole Kudu,as not to attract scavengers.
It’s so heavy I had to make a harness,I hammered it out of gold and diamonds,that goes under my clothing,to support my back.

Ulrica’s tattoo is almost finished.
Ulrica is Swedish.
A tont.
It’s a cover-up.
There was an ‘Eye of Horus’ that watched her back,in Sweden,when she used to hunt Mooses in the Fjords,with her hunting partners Ani and Johhahn Tontersson.

I tattooed Elzanne,or better known as ‘Sonja’,on Saturday aswell,almost finished her ‘psychedelic green snoek’.
Didn’t take a good enough photo to post.
We had to finish up early,as Sins of Style had it’s 2yr Birthday Party!
Shaweh………….

………makes you nasty…..

wow………assholes…….green-eyed assholes.

Corky ain’t no asshole………….looks so familiar……reminds me of someone i know.

Well,yesterday i got my ‘finger-sleeves’,or,’mittens’ tattooed by the fair and un-pretentious hands of Happy Dave.
Thanks Dave,now i’m happy.
Cobras,eyes and somewhat ‘vaginal’ reference grace my digits.

Call me ‘Snakey-hands Mc. Sausage-fingers’,if you will.

…..MARSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHmallow…..Marcello Lawrence………’,you uni-browed(not mono-browed) beast nuh!’
Marcello(Marshmallow),wanted a Gypsy lady.
I was oh so happy to oblige,so i did draw.
And draw I did………..i drew my chubby little sausage fingers off!
I drew him one of my Gypsy-dames,squeezing the poor,short and frail,but somewhat lengthy migratory life out of a swallow,after having a little nibble on it.
We got the line work done,and boy……….boy oh boy….did Marcello sit well?
It is safe to say he did,like the marshmllow he is,soft,fluffie,smooth………and creamy.
Thanks Marcello.

My old friend Maddin,’Maddyfresh-ah’,got some writing on his payer-lines.
WARP SPEED…………Fuck-yeh!.
It’s for when he runs really fast,with his little girl feet.

He has just introduced me to ‘Skeletonwitch’……………..they totally gave me a little thrash-metal chubby.
thanks guy.

……deddie……..deddie…….I wanna teh’-too!plees’ men’ deddie! ………nuh’

tattooed Jorge a lil’ ol’ dirty green fly yonder his fleshy hearin’ appamaratus the day before….

Started this piece on Shai today.
Didn’t quite get to finish it,as he had to run off and be famous somewhere.
Shai and his brother play music in their musical band ‘Merseystate’.
They play musical instruments,that make music and stuff.
I think Shai would like music forever on him,so i made a music on his arm.
Just need a few more bits n’ peices done here n’ thar’.

This here is Dave……in the super-secret-machine-building-HQ………
He’s tappin’ that sheeeeeet……..

This is 1 of 6 different prints of my ‘Dame’s o’ Doom’ pen drawings.
Each one has a different theme.
t-shirts,hoodies(hopefully)and prints will be available soon.
E-mail me if you are interested at davidschaston@gmail.com
It will be a limited run of each.

Ca-caaaaaaaw…..

This here eagle here i did tattoo thar’ on them thar’ Lukes’ thar’ arm.
It was a fun peice to do.
Thanks Luke.

I drew this up for David,he wanted a somewhat ‘mendhi’ styled half sleeve,so i added a few different elements to it.
He sat well as i motored through it.
‘…..lines n’ lines n’ lines n’ lines……’(as ‘Tubbs’ would say,from the dark British comedy,League of Gentleman)
Thank you David.

Fokkit……

I have been pretty distracted from updating,these are from the past week or so.
Apologies if I have left out or forgotten something.

Annemieke!….or Anne-Mieke….or Anemieke….well,she received her very first tattoo from me last week,and i foolishly forgot to take a foto.
Thank you,and i hope i got either of the variations of your name correct!

This is Ali’s tattoo,her design,i just added a bit o’ detail to it.
Thank you Ali.

Hermanus

Shannon from Florida,this be her foooooot……..a beloved foot.

Hy somer net gooi dinge ne’,hy gooi die kaatjie,n’ mes,n’ kaart,’ys’,n’ hart(dit pomp jou bloed),en ek weet nie wat n’ ‘skull’ is in Afrikaans,maar hy gooi dit ook.
Ek gooi die Afrikaans.
Ek het die prentjie geteken en getjup.
Dankie Rouleaux en jou vroutjie.
Kom braai n’ tjoppie.

My memory fails me,i forgot your name,but i enjoyed doing this feather.
Thank you kindly.

Joooooooooorrrrrrrrge………………thank you Jorge.
I drew this up and proceeded to tattoo this Purple-Beehived-ciggi’-smokin’ lady of leisure for my Portuguese friend Jorge,he’s Portuguese,from Portugal.

Dickheads

The cock-masks became of use during these times o’ quiet.

A ginger-dickhead…..the worst kind…….

and another……double the worsenesses….

My pumpkin even got tattooed by dickhead,a cajun dickhead……..

Nicci ‘Tsatsiki-taramosalata-dolmade-pants-mac-uzo-face’ the plate smashing Cyprian here has had a couple tattoos from me.
Yesterday she got a little Stegosaurus making a little Stegosaurus poo on her lip,aswell as a little heart on each of her olive pickin’,souvlaki slappin’ fingertips.


Christopher here,a returning customer,got this heart being stung by the scorpion tail of death n’ doom,and such,on the inside of his arm,sat like a champ!
Thanks Christopher!

Mark ‘Donatella Versace’,returned to fill in some more on his arm……..he was a bit of a baby,but he survived none the less.

……….Rainbow……..in the dark…..”

Ronnie James Dio,is my Rainbow in the Dark.
Sometimes.

It’s been a slow,but ‘cock-filled’ week,not much happening,but a bit o’ cock here and there.
With appointments not showing or cancelling,it has given me time to busy myself with some arts and crafts.
I built me a cardboard-bifocal-cock-mask,with a matching cardboard-electric-cock-guitar.
The bakery around the corner even made me a cock-biscuit,to dunk in my coffee…..?….i think.
Here’s a picture of my ‘artisan coffee’ with my name ever so artistically sculpted in the silky froth of the creme……

…..and here’s my matching biscuit….

Damn you tattoo-appointment-non-showers………damn you.
Well,atleast those who didn’t bother to call,those who did have the decency to let me know…….damn you too.

These are pictures of a couple of my SHOWING UPPERS……
Roger here had some fixing-upping,and/or refinement of exixting tattoos
These tattoos were not done by me.


These are my 3 most important beings in the world,on Sunset Beach,having a right ol’ time.

….this be me……like a rainbow…….in the dark

This here be a ramshackled skateboard deck that has seen better days…….I’m painting it for a friend.


Below is Cathy’s Nightmare before christmas themed leg peice I’m busy with.
She’s Portuguese,she knows Jiu-Jitsu,and no,she doesn’t own a fish n’ chip shop,or a Nando’s.

I am Mr.Mendes……..the Goat of Mendes………or just plain ol’ Donkerbok.

Hi…it even looks a bit like me.

Today I tattooed an old friend I hadn’t seen in a while.
Catherine always swore her first tattoo would be done by me.
She said that atleast 7 years ago,way before I even started tattooing.
The promise was kept,so today i tattooed her.
Again my foto skills need to improve.
3 swallows are what she did request,according to how I see fit.
Thanks Cath!!!

The picture below is of my co-worker Lee Herbert.
He may be Mexican,he may be Peurto-Rican,even Indonesian,some say ‘Eur-Asian’…..who knows?……….who cares?
I don’t.
Either way,he’s a real gem of a human.
He works about 2 meters away from me.
He be a ‘master-killah’ of da black and gray tattoo.
Come by the shop,check out his work,perhaps chat to him,even ask for answers to questions that have no answers to……
Lee puts up with my shit,he is the yin to my yang…….

October 1st…………if i was Mayan,i’d be really special.

……Apparently.

Lexamil helps me feel a bit special,in a special way.

Today i finished Wendy’s tattoo,she sits very well.
The tattoo has taken about 2 sessions.
Thank you Wendy!
Sorry for the not so great photograph

This is a picture of one of my first decent water colour paintings….

My super-secret-art-cave.
This is my work area at home,getting the pictures finished for a project of mine.
It should be ready soon………

Veggie Burger vs. The Blow-Job

……man,this veggie burger is good…..
Today I tattooed Mark and then Morgan.
It was Morgan’s first tattoo after just turning 18 and becoming a real live grown-up of a lady.
But I stupidly forgot to take a picture.
Mark has existing tattoos,a real mix of designs on his arm.
So,I had been chosen to add,spice-up and combine some more to the already existing tattoo(s) to bring it all together in some way.
I drew up 2 variations of a mandala and stenciled it on as a kind of background.
We managed to get the outlines done,then it was time to call it a day.
Here’s one of my not so great foto’s…
I did only the mandalas in the background.
here’s before and after pictures…….the difference is unbelievable…….
BEFORE

AFTER

I found this foto of a tattoo I did a while ago,it was from a rough pencil sketch of the ‘king of da jungal’.

This is one of my many foto’s of animals in ‘mode-de-kak’.
I took it within the very first days of the the new year,whilst in the Eastern Cape.

These roses pooping out Russian Babushka dolls i did draw up and tattoo on Anie from Sweden.
It was done about a month ago.
It was really fun to do.
Anie is an awesome Swede who helped me better pronounce a Swedish profanity.
‘Tont’
Now,I speak international.

The Lupercalian.


It has been pretty quiet lately,well atleast the past 3 days.
I cannot complain,as it gives time to catch up on other things,like my super-secret-art-drawing……..

Today I tattooed Candice,it was her first tattoo.
A feather,braking up into birds’s….subtle like……just below her ankle bones’s.

I enjoy doing varied styles of tattoo………….tribal not so much,but,perhaps.
They might just have their comeback,like alot of other nostalgic unforgettable 90’s memorabilia.
Apparently lumo attire is currently part of a trend,i don’t know who or where it may be,but it’s what i’m told,by really,really important trend and fashion forecasters alike.
Amazing.

I also started a ‘Davey Jones Locker’ themed sleeve today on Mike.
I outlined the octopus,chest containing the heart and banner.
There are still jellyfish,whales and a Galleon to be oulined in the next session.
I drew up the octopus when he came round to the shop.
It can be a lot of planning and drawing that goes into a sleeve.
Mike has been tattooed by me before.
I’ll put up pics when I’m not too lazy to put them into a single sequence shot.
Tiredness has set in,Master Astaroth is calling…..

I feel drunk

The optical apparatus I now have to wear,everyday,make me feel as though I am in some way intoxicated,or looking through a window,or,intoxicated whilst looking through a window.
I think it has affected my hearing aswell.

Now that my eyes be re-getting a visual edu-mah-cation on them thar’ things all round mah-self,I’m not as handsome as I thought.
So,I now bottle up my emotional anguish and take it out on my clients.

Today I tattooed my friend Daniel,a fellow worker in the trade.
He works and co-owns(I think…..)’Young Guns Tattoo’,in Observatory,Cape Town.
We have been meaning to do a tattoo for a while,today it was.
A somewhat Spanish Galleon.
Finished 99% of the line work,before he got tired of me taking out my emotional problems on his ribs……….
But,it was a really fun piece to do.
Thank you Daniel
.

I can see across the road now……..

I got glasses today.
I can actually see where i’m driving now,let alone,what i’m tattooing.
Christ,i’m funny.

I almost finished Neil-Piel’s tattoo today.
Here’s a picture of the near completion.

My new machinery……..
my babies………
my NEW Seth Ciferri machines,each one is no.10 of only 12 made.
the packaging was pretty damn cool aswell…..
(thanks pumpkin!)

the weinerdog style shader

the micro-jones style liner

this fine hand-made piece of tattoo applying equipment was made by the fair hands of Dave Noellert,from Uptown Tattoo,New Orleans.
Dave is currently working with us at Sins of Style for a stint.
Come down and get tattooed by this fine Cajun gentleman,his manners are impeccable,just like his tattooing.



The hounds had a much needed wash yesterday………then came today……

No,they are NOT Pit-bull terriers…………christ

These are our new responsibilities………….
His name is ‘Face’(NO,NOT from the A-Team),and his sister goes by ‘Rose’.
These two are American Bulldogs.
They are not Pitbulls.
It is a very old breed of dog,they have to be called ‘American’ Bulldogs,as the name Bulldog is immediatly associated with the short,squat extremely in-bred English Bulldog.
They bred some of the original Bulldogs with smaller more manageable breeds like the pug,the result being a poor animal with breathing,skin,defecating and hip problems for most of it’s life.

These are the O.G Bulldogs.
We got them from Marinas Blue Kennels in Nelspruit,South Africa.
Pieter and Marina are awesomely amazing people,who put us up with a place for the night and a braai,when we went to visit them to choose our dawgs.
check them out at www.americanbulldogs.co.za

Oh,this is Ollie,he’s a ginger(disgusting,I know.)
I like the picture though,and he’s a real good friend of mine.
The tattoo is of a Cracken and a Whale.

i painted this the other day,it’s postcard size,maybe it can be a postcard.

Pretty pretty pretty pictures…….

These are some pictures i did draw and paint with my own fair hands.
They are some of my first watercolours.
The cobra-skull is just in pen.
It’s alot of fun to do this stuff,it helps alot with other related things to do with picture making.
I didn’t take great foto’s,but you get the idea.
i hope you like them,i might sell some at some stage,or something.

This is a picture of one of my favourite albums,the bands name is Black Widow.
I have only heard the one album,Sacrifice.
They’re from the late 60’s,it’s satanic-progressive-psychedelic-folk-rock.
Well,that’s how it sounds to me………either way,it’s awesome.

The Booth….

I took this photo while we were in the Transkei.
The area is very rural,the cows enjoy the beach.

Beach Meat

I did this today on Micheal Cooper.
He suggested the colours,it turned out cool,he was happy,so i did good job.

I drew up and tattooed this highly educated owl on Aaron at the convention.
I think it was one of five tattoos he got during the weekend of the convention.
It was fun to do.
Thanks Aaron

This was our booth at the Cape Town Southern Ink Exposure 2010.
In our minds there was a booth competition,and we won.
Tyler and his father put this together.
It looked amazing,it’s pretty much the shop,shrunk down and taken to the convention.
Tyler likes wood,lot’s of wood,wood everywhere,tons of wooden things that look like wood with wood in it and a bit of wood to go with the wood incase there’s not enough wood.

Chrysanthemumumumnyum……..umum……

Flowers are always great to do.
I drew this up for Sune,finished last weekend,but i’m slow at putting up my recent work.
Thank you Sune!

……I say old chap…….’

'...oh...i do say...'

I did this a couple months ago,but it was a ton of fun to do.
Josh wanted a shark,and a Gentleman of a shark he got.
Thank you Joshua.

Newwwww…..ish……

I did this tattoo yesterday,but left my camera at home,so i couldn’t take a picture until today.
So it’s…..newwww…ish.
This is Kari’s first tattoo,she allowed me to go to town with the design.
Thank you Kari.
A gypsy lady,roses………..and leopard print.
She sat like a champ…….didn’t complain at all.
I really enjoy doing peices like this,and the customer putting trust in my design work i do for them.

Fresh yo’……………

This be my fresh new dope-phat site.
My amazingly talented woman has done everything you see.

I’ll post some older work photo’s along side the new stuffs being done.

Again,thank-you,my pumpkin,for updating the site better than i could have thought.
