Finished! Photo above: Session #4. Bellow, #3. Previous sessions here
Yep, I know. Not the best shot, but I wanted to upload just for the record. In a near future I will post less tattoo photos, as I aim for more quality shots.
Preferably healed tattoos or at least the ones you can compare the shadings and/or color tones. I hope you understand, and thanx for following this blog!

The original idea was inspired on the CD “And then there was silence” from the band Blind Guardian (here)

Last session here
One more brutal session with our friend Paul. We did couple painful spots today as elbow and inside the arm.
He always take it like a king!
We worked around 4 hours and most of the backgrounds are finished. We aim to complete this interesting sleeve in the next session.
Cheers!
Check here when this tattoo was freshly finished, and please compare to now.
Thanx Steffi for droping by and letting me re-take the photo!

Well, we’re done for now. I say “for now” ‘cuz there’s other plans to add some more later. Let’s hope she got hooked on tat’s!

One more session left to finish this tattoo on Lukas. We did a pretty decent session this time (3 hours tattooing) and the Dragon and the Tiger are more or less finished. Just waiting for few details that might pop up when we shade the mandala on the center.
Hope everyone have a nice weekend!
Do tribal tattoos still popular?
I mean, there’s some much diversity now with all dot works, black works and so many other variations delivering from what now could be considered “classic” tribal tattoos. Stuff people got heavily into in the 90’s thanks to Leo Zulueta and Ed Hardy’s Tattoo time books.
I still love to do them, and still amazed when I see them.
To give movement and dimension with one color only is so challenging and exciting!
Few weeks passed since Tattoo Bash Köln (held last month’s 25th to 27th) and I got myself back to write some for you.
I had a very fruitful experience in April attending 3 conventions in a roll (Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Köln) and many tattooer fellas might agree that there’s too many conventions nowadays.
They can’t be wrong. Definitely we can find all types and sizes of tattoo conventions on the most remote parts of the planet.
In other words, we (tattooers and customers) have the chance to hand pick which conventions, cities/ countries we might visit in the future.
In other hand we face odd situations like tattooing in noisy, dark, hot, cold locations and other “natural obstacles” we find being far from our common habitat.
As far for me, the experience of going through all this makes me grow positively stronger. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything else.
Specially right now that I’m driving by my own to these places to discover, meet and interact with different people and different cultures. All under one roof.
