It’s no good getting carried away with this suspension business, there is still lots of tattooing to be getting on with!
Back to the tattoo
July 1st, 2009Eight Bloody Holes
June 30th, 2009I took this picture after removing the dressings, about five hours after the suspension. I’ve not had too much discomfort from the piercings, even managing to get a good nights sleep from day one. I also started swimming as usual on Monday; which was a really trippy experience for the first twenty minutes or so, due to the weightless sensation you get when in water.

Suspension Pictures
June 29th, 2009
I promised some more pictures and here they are. (Gallery after the break)
Finally!
June 28th, 2009I can’t summon the words to do justice to my suspension experience. Everthing was right; the weather, location and even the tree I hung off! Anyway I think I’ll just post a picture and leave it at that for the time being. . .
Elbow Pit Redness
June 19th, 2009Here what happens after a couple of hours of elbow pit tattooing:
Still a little redness is nothing compared to:
Having a “sleep” may not be the best idea during a tattoo eh?
Another Week Another Tattoo Session
June 11th, 2009This is getting a little bit repetitive 
Another two hours work
And Once Again. . .
June 5th, 2009Can’t sleep, so I thought I’d post this image of the work that I had done this week.
More of the same from last time
Forearm Detailing
May 28th, 2009I really like the sepia effect of a new tattoo – I’m thinking we’ll do a red wash on this baby when she’s finished, it just works really well on biomech.
Forearm Detail
The negative space really pops-out now – that’ll have grey detailing put in later on.
Wrist Work
May 21st, 2009Here you can see some of the detail around my wrist, what you can’t see is the lining-in that goes around my arm.
Wrist Work
I didn’t get to hang last week as the weather was total pants. Hoping to go up in a couple of weeks, in the meantime am still off the coffee!
Elbow Tattoo
May 14th, 2009Damn me and my design completeness* ethos! It meant tattooing my elbow; oh well if you’re gonna talk the talk an’ all that.
Elbow Tattoo
In suspension based news; I’m currently hoping the weather holds out for the weekend, otherwise my week of no coffee is going to be a bit of a pointless exercise. Although I did learn that caffeine withdrawal isn’t very nice, I’ve never had so many headaches!
* Don’t get me started on people that only have half an arm-band because; “tattooing that side of the arm really hurts” – Grrr!
