Oky Doky,
Friday is here and almost gone and I have installment one of my new tats, So as promised here are some happy snaps.
First, am I allowed to PLUG a shop nivek??? Chop this bit out if not. You know me, I don't understand protocol.
So if your not reading this bit its gone so ignore it. Hmm that made no sense.
Anyway in case it is allowed. I Highly recommend a lovely Tattooist called Ash at Broken Arrow Tattoos in Ballarat. Victoria, Australia. She is very good, very fast and very gentle. And a really nice person to chat too while getting tattooed. And best of all a great Tattooist.
If Ash is booked out the shop has a lot of really talented other tattooists, all young and really switched on dudes, you wont go wrong here with anyone. I promise.
Anyway....
Follow if you can.
Chest first, was in the chair for a few hours, Ash is very gentle and It wasn't too painful even though folks say the chest hurts like hell. Got another session to come, but here is the bit Ash got done today on the front.
Just for an FYI, she free handed the thorns how bloody good is that.
OK so that makes little sense on its own.
Next session will see more, I am getting a vampire bite on each side of the thorn a little above the Y shaped thorn above the U on Dracul. It will have a bite and a little blood dripping on and covering a small section of the thorns,
Next
Imagination needed here now...
This will go underneath it, as I don't have dark skin it will be Red with faded out black from the edges.
The original design had a Sword in the middle but I photo shopped it out and put in the cross you see.
It is a variation but this cross is Associated with Vampires.
OK so the cross goes down my sternum, and the Dragons over my Tits (Sorry, bloke tits
)
Dreading coloring in nipples, cannot imagine anything nice about that. !!!
Finally in the same design and font as the top ORDO DRACUL
I will have a curved
NOX ARCANA
in the same or similar design.
NOX ARCANA roughly translates to Night Secrets
I am very happy with how it turned out. Ash is an awesome Tattooist, and a really nice person so if your in the area I can't recommend her highly enough.
Finally the back bit....
22 re you here ????
Tell OT3P on your twitter feed she has to come to Australia soon, and she has to tell me which concert to be at. I don't concert unless I get the Mosh Pitt, no where else to be as far as I am concerned.
No mosh Pitt, No Concert
Tel her, like in the song, she has got to make me famous
Call me back stage, on stage and give me a raunchy Kiss. anything. I love her to bits, she is a goddess.
I love her songs, her poetry makes me cry, some make me ashamed to be male You both know the one(s))...anyway enough of that,
Here is my neck...
The rough look to the lettering was my choice, I wanted to match her album covers, I did not want it crisp.
I will wear it with pride. Com-on 22 you know you love me lol, send here a happy snap, a link, shit send her my email address, send her my home address if she wants to make me famous in a warm bed in a little shed out the Aussie bush
OTEP is a goddess.
Tell her I have 4 tats, My Family on my left arm (yes, put my ex wife on, the kiss of tattoo death, now separated for nearly 2 years) ...Fair enough, I was warned it was the kiss of Death.
My Tats...
A tribute to Led Zeppelin and Bonzo on my right arm.
A tribute to Pink Floyd on my right calf,
And OTEP on my neck.
Tell her I ousted both Rammstein and Motorhead on my neck for her.
She is a head banger, she will know that's BIG.
Giving Lemmy second place....
Com on 22, send her something,
Anyway, that's today's Tats, more to come, in a couple of weeks when it is all finished.
Oh and BTW, that crazy $$ quote 10 to 15 hours... from the other nutty tattooist shop, all crap.
Ash did all this in 3 hours, she is a legend. Other place was a rip off.
Don't go anywhere else Than Broken Arrow in Ballarat.
And no I have no affiliation other than they are my new and final tattoo shop
Cheers All
Sorry, another shameless plug to the godless of Metal...
