I had great lil weekender in London at the annual London Tattoo Convention. 2013. Its crazy how un-tattooed i feel whilst be at the London Tattoo Convention. and how little of the very serious 'tattoo' circle i am involved in. its also incredible to see how it changes peoples lifes and how with drawing skills and a steady hand can have you burning peoples pockets. Lots of incredible artist at the convention and even more beautiful people, with the courage to tattoo them selves despite generations of negative connotations and disappointed parents. When all it is, is a personal choice. But yeah a bottle of rum and a few cans of Gingerbeer later this is what i captured. i hope you enjoyed. If you're lucky enough you'll notice the faces of Abandon Ship Apparel Designer Rich, Black gardens finest tattooist Rodrigo Souto, Some babes form the Rock Star thing, The uber Gypsy babe and PIC Poppy Moon, The talented mr Howie...

Went to London, got Tattooed By Tutti at Black Garden Tattoo in Holborn. Stayed with my gfs in Greenwich. Did a shoot for Prowl. Borrowed loads of things then drove back wearing a medieval headdress. 

MIA always hits her videos and visual on point. Couldn't resist by self by screens shots a couple of the best moments from the video. The first part of the video was so raw, with the short snappy cuts it honestly gave me some good old goose pimples. I always seem to find myself excited about the next scene and cultural references she / the video producers come up with. Not only does she style out a crazy perfect geometric hair tie. There's Loads of hot gangster boys standing around looking chic and thug in white. Ending with a standard praying, ritual, party scene with mad (need to learn how to do that) dancers. Just watch it or check out my stills ...

a Rather sore 2 hour piece dedicated to my older brother. the crazy,climbing joker he is a by Ricky Williams

Went on a little Mission to London this weekend to mainly get Tattoo by the very talented Ricky Williams who did a crazy ass angry baboon on my arm :) Somehow managed to bag myself a couple of Huf pieces too some sweet ass Marijuana Leaf socks & a 'dirty bag crew' beanie. Kinda standard up north & after the Odd Future hype but to be fair you can't really go wrong with any sort of marijuana symbold clothing I sayyy. (slightly too happy here)
