I hope YOU step on a lego. Twice.

Hahah! Well I have a niece who just discovered lego, so it’s quite likely to happen! :p

I was supposed to get my knee done recently, but I got awfully sick and my tattoo privileges were taken away for at least a month…. And the artist meant to do it, just took an artistic pause, so that won’t happen. So I guess next will be a piece on my solar plexus/below boobs, a new traditional wrought iron caged heart. Sort of. A woman I used…[Read more]

Tim Kern, Niki Norberg, Carlos Torres, Domantas, Paul Booth and Thomas Hooper.
I intend on making them all come true, and figure the first four should be possible within a year/year and a half.
The other two I have friends in common with, so it should be possible at some point!

Working 9 to 5 is for fucking pussies. Clocked 16 hours today, it’s 2 in the morning and I just got home..
Pros; Big artists bring big crews of techs. Techs dress in black and are covered in ink! ;D There was 35 of them, and about 10 were awesome looking. Even though they all left town tonight, working all day and night gets a hell of a lot easier…[Read more]

True. I was mostly thinking about the outlay of the design, it looked sort of like something that might work. And I love David and his work, but I’m not sure I’m willing to go through the pain hell it was getting my back done by him again… :p
And Marius is supposed to be equally hard handed!! He is awesome, though. I know several artists who…[Read more]

Oh you guys are so helpful….

Bert; yep, that’s the one!

peter; I’ve thought about it, but I kind of just want this piece of mexican art.. not an entire back. I should have at least been to Mexico first :p

I hope you step on a lego.

That looks freakin amazing!! How the hell do you even get in with these names on such short time??!

Ah! Gotcha. He’s still taking appointments at Reykjavik Ink, so I guess he just flies back and forth. Raking in a grand a day, 6 days a week, and being booked 13 months solid must make it rather easy to take a short flight between countries when needed.

Oh, I wish that was anything close to being all of it! 😀

He’s…[Read more]

Just say when.

Your place it is.

Is this a thing? I need to count my hours!! ;D Hmm.. 85! Ish. See you at the 100 mark soon!

There will always be some sort of reference material. If not as you imagine, but for smaller parts there may be! All depends on the artists visual gallery in their head. You can easily draw a phoenix out of thin air if you’ve done 20 phoenixes based on a number of sources and references. Eventually they’ll have no problem picking parts here and…[Read more]

Denmark, huh?
Well.. Line Marielle is very talented, but she has only been tattooing for about a year yet, and personally I’d be worried about how it heals. She has yet to see any of her work actually healed for more than a few months, and I personally wouldn’t get realistic work from her.. She’s just been guest spotting in my town, and I know she…[Read more]

I like it! I personally don’t like realism, so I’m happy to see something different! Jimmy Duvall here in Norway does some really cool geometric work(BertNaked has some of them), and I love it. Been seeing more of that recently, plus a lot of other takes on it, and I’m excited to see what comes next!

I gotta be honest… Some of those lines are shady as fuck. I really hope it’s just because you’re swollen, because it didn’t look like that on the stencil.
Hope to see a clearer pic of it soon.

I can see where this is going! It’s new traditional, I think the design itself is just right. And still in progress, yes?
New traditional can always look a bit off if you’re not used to the style and how it’s developing, but I’ve come to love that style. Seen several new traditional wolves, and they have nothing to do with realism. It’s in…[Read more]

Luckily it stopped at making out! But I had no idea he had a girlfriend at the time – I only found out later that night. I’ve been cheated on a bunch of times, so I have a zero tolerance policy on it now. Truth be told I once left one man for another, but I didn’t repeat my offense. And I did leave the one I was originally with within a week of…[Read more]

I have the best luck ever. Fool around with hot dude who lives in a different country – find out he has a girlfriend – tell him off, but figure “not my problem”, and hope he mans the fuck up and pretty disappointed because I finally met someone hot I got really well along with and ofc he’s a douche with a girlfriend, who lives in a different…[Read more]

Aw, it’s horrible when pets are sick :/ My dog was feeling bad last week, throwing up, having diarrhea and no interest in food. Luckily she recovered, and we just gave her easily digested food for a few days. Cooked fish was a good one, and puppy food 🙂 Hope your dog gets better!

Me and my ex were mistaken for siblings once, too. It was pretty hilarious, because we were at a rooftop of a hostel in London at the time, with a lot of people from different cultures and countries, we being the only Scandinavians there. The guy who said it, was black and with his girlfriend, and those two were the only black there.
So I just…[Read more]

Ah right, I just read and responded in a bit of a hurry 🙂 But yes, that is uncalled for.
I remember we had a customer come in, who wanted to tattoo the name of his daughter. Gave him a quote on aprox the price, and set up an appointment.
He told us that he’d been to a shop in a different town in Norway, looking to get the same tattoo. They had…[Read more]
