What a very busy, slightly stressful and thoroughly enjoyable weekend was had by all. Nobody died, no windows smashed no crime of any sort, it was a good convention but I think the Sheraton City Center hotel will not be having us back next year!
So many photographs taken of the Victorian Britishink and accompanying, suitably attired clients, who rock BTW.....
"Tis how we perambulate"
And thank you to Erica who took this fav. of mine, so far....
If anyone has photographs and would like to forward them for inclusion on our site please email them to office (@) britishinkdc.com.
Thanks to all who came out and made it a hell of a time....wow...thank you....

We got round to the extension of the snake to the ditch of the right knee, ouch, with roses and some vines:
So this is the first, and terrible, photo of the whole layout:
That is one massive snake....and still so much to do.....

| The cover-up from Hell |
[09 Jun 2007|01:24pm] |
|
Every so often I come across a person in need of some good design. A cover-up in this case, in desperate need of some thought and an artistic challenge beyond the day to day design and tattoo work that is my bread and butter.
The HUGE black snake on this mans back was tattooed in Thailand with bamboo split to form the "needles". Too "brutal" he called it, no grace or finesse. The poor man lives with this for a few years and finally gets the courage to see another tattooist who says he can fix it.
His concept is to create a tree from the black snake and add flowers and insects and an additional, new snake.....

First entry,
So what does it take to make a custom tattoo?
I'm going to run through the stages of a piece I'm working on step by step to show the process from conception to completion.
