(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.

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.
