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
