Stuff

I know it's already been over a week since Alvaro was here but I didn't get to post all of the work he did while he was with us. We had a lovely week with our mate and look forward to him returning soon! So he will be here again in early August but has already got people in mind for the two days he is here. He will also be back in October (dates still yet to be decided but I will post again as soon as we know exact dates and if he will have any space available). So here is another couple of tattoos he did while he was here:

Here is what Matty has been up to: 

In Progress, massive cover up on the guts

One session to go on this one

Just the outline for the first day, still more cherry blossoms to add

And here is what Jamie has been up to: 

Simo's work over the past week or two:

And last be definitely not least here is Stu's work from the last week or so:

We have Wendy Pham and Matt Gordon with us this week, so should be a fun week. I hope to post the work they do here by the end of the week, so stay tuned. If you are interested in getting tattooed by either one of them they might be able to fit a few consultations in while they are here. So shoot us an email if you are interested. Include what you want to get, where and size. 

That's all....

I made this 3 weeks ago for an american girl from arizona. she came to get tattooed her shoulder. thanks a lot for the patience.

Portsmouth Tattoo Convention

So the 28th/29th is just around the corner and we're all geared up ready for the Portsmouth Tattoo Convention! There aren't many advance discount tickets left, so get them while you can or pick them up at the door on the day. I've got a couple pieces booked in but I'll have space to tattoo walk ups on the day and talk about any old shit, so if you're going, then come by and say hi.

Andy will be keeping the shop open so everyone back at home won't be missing out. 

It's been a while since the last post, so I think I better post some pictures. We keep a more up to date feed on the shop on our facebook page, so join that and nothing will slip by.

Blog Time

Well it's all happening here at the moment, I am getting way behind in the blog department (well about the shop that is, hopefully you enjoyed the one about Japan from yesterday). 

Stu Pagdin started with us last week, so yay for that! He is getting busy, so hit him up if you want to get tattooed. His done up some sweet flash that he would like to tattoo, so if you like any of those hit him up. Just email the shop progressiontattoo@hotmail.com or give us a call to make a consult time with him.

We also have our good friend Alvaro (from Korpus Tattoo, Melbourne) here with us this week. He is booked solid this week but he is returning very soon. So if you are interested in getting an appointment with Alvaro next time he is here, call the shop to arrange a consultation time with him for this week.

Japan In June

Better late then never they say, eh? We have been back from Japan for over a week already and I haven't even blogged about it yet!! But we have been super busy to say the least, I only unpacked a few days ago!

We had an epic time, as per usual, as if I was going to say anything different? But we have realised a week is just not long enough time to spend in such an awesome place such as Japan. We did however get some quality time in with friends and jam packed our week full of fun things and of course lots of tattooing!

Our first day we did our usual routine, of wondering around Yokohama and going to our favorite restaurant "Dalian" for lunch. Dinner was spent with the Yellow Blazers and our good mates Tomo and Ei. We had Brazillian food, which I might add I have never had before and loved it! Good thing we are not vegetarian anymore or we would have had nothing to eat! haha but was so yum, i'll be going there again that's for sure!

The following day we spent with Ei, Tomo and our good mate Crystal. We did a bunch of fun stuff, which included Kyosai Museum, watching Rockabillies dance in Harajuku, patting puppies and meerkats in the park, shopping, Ninja restaurant for dinner and topped off with some Karaoke! Perfect day in Tokyo! Here is some pics: 

And I thought Matt was too tall for Japan, seems Ei has the same problem- haha

Rockabillies in Harajuku, so cool! 

EEEEEEEEP! Puppies!! 

Yep, found a meerkat to play with! 

Ice-cream stop

Matt the Ninja! 

I love karaoke- can you tell? 

And we spent 4 glorious days at this place. 

2 days later I look like this. 

1 day later and I feel pretty damn good! I have the baggy pants on though

My little walks to China town

My fave store for buying stuff

2 days later Matt looks like this.... 

Last day in Yokohama, was such a beautiful day. 

What? 

Yokohama! 

So we go back in December, which is just far too long a wait! Of course there is much more that went on but this is all I have time for right now.

That's all....
