Shine On A Rainy Day

Listening to Brent Cobb while making this here post.
How have you been?
I have been up to all sort of things! So many that it has been hard to keep up and get back on updating you few guys left here on this blog, but I haven't forgotten about you or given up on the blog. It's as always just really hard to live up to the standard that I have set for myself and the idea of the next post being really amazing. So instead of posting something, which would be better than nothing, no new posts makes it to the internet. Well, here we go again. Lets skip this and get into it. Let's try to reconnect. Let's get reacquainted. Let's get up to date.

Last time I told you guys, that my friend, Electric Pick, was in town, visiting. Yeah well... he is now living in the house and is working besides me at Conspiracy Inc. That's right OG Conspiracy crew back together again! He is currently taking bookings for both smaller and bigger pieces so get a hold of him to get one of his amazing pieces. Rumours has it that he has a bunch of ideas of new things that he really wanna try to tattoo. Especially these really cool flying or floating houses. Super cool ides...he just need someone to tattoo them on. Get on it people!


He is here to stay so don't be afraid to start those big pieces. You no longer have to wait a year for the next session. Hit him up on Pick@electricpick.com



Another thing that happened since last time is, that I have for filled another childhood dream. Getting a Harley Davidson. Since I was a kid I have dreamed about getting a Harley Davidson. For many reasons that dream had always seemed impossible and something that wouldn't be happening to me. But it did! Things fell into place and my dream became a reality in May after taking my drivers licence in the early months of spring. Here she is! My 2017 Harley Davidson Dyna Street Bob.


 Doing this, is one of the most amazing things, I have ever done and I can't believe where it takes me and what roads have been opened up to me... pun intended. I want to go places, I never felt like going to before. Since getting my baby it has taken me from Berlin to Copenhagen, Denmark. To Bergen in Norway. To Prague with my buddy Adam Guy Hays, who himself have been possessed by this love for riding a machine on two wheels. I tell you guys, all the cliches are real! It's all true! It is freedom on two wheels. What a feeling riding with the wind in your face, smelling your surroundings and watching amazing landscapes fly by. Things you never get to see or feel while driving inside a car.
I can go on and on about how great this feels and what it does to me but I don't think you would care and I don't think we will cover much more ground in this here post, so I will try to wrap it up as fast as I can!
But I can't let the subject go completely because it is a part of what is coming.
I will go to New York in a few weeks and I can't wait to go ride in the states with my Brother Adam Hays. This trip will only be a taste of what is coming. If everything goes as planned, we will be going on a longer adventure next year. New York to San Diego and maybe back. Unfortunately that won't be on my own bike, but there is a sweet substitute waiting for me and I am excited to ride through USA with Adam.
Should you want to watch some of my adventures on the bike, you can check out my YouTube Channel. I will insert a video here... Ok two....

First one of me and my beloved dog, Lucifer riding together.




The second one is from my ride to Bergen.




I'm still learning how to edit the videos and make it more interesting to look at so bare with me. I am also planning on doing some Vlog episodes soon so stay tuned for those... even better subscribe to the channel and since you're there anyway maybe press that like button.
I want to make stuff happen on the channel and I hope it will encourage me to keep this blog alive running alongside the videos.
I hope you guys will help and encourage me on this new travel. This new motorcycle adventure is something that I am very very passionate about and therefor something I want to share with you all. Hopefully you will all come with me on this ride and see where it takes me.
To begin with there will be mostly motorcycle stuff on the channel, but I am planning on mixing my tattoo life in the videos from time to time and sooner or later the channel could become a good mix of both. But let me know either here or in the comments on the channel what you guys think and what you would like to see. One thing I will try to maintain on the channel is to keep it positive so keep it light people. There is too many keyboard warriors out there. If you don't like the videos... then just don't look at them. No one forces you to look at them. It's your free choice, so keep the comments constructive and positive to improve the content.
Looking forward to hear from you.



My special little guy, Lucifer,  have had a rough year with an operation for two slipped discs and a new allergy, but this 13 year old puppy is tough as nails and keeps going strong. After a period of dog physiotherapy he is back to being his playful self. From barely being able to stand to running and playing again, I am happy to say that Lucifer is back to his normal self.
He actually gets excited when his motorcycle bag comes out and I ask him if he wants to go ride the motorcycle. Best!!

Kinga have also been daring enough to go on the back of the bike a few times. I hope to be able to share more trips on two wheels with her.



Now I think it is time to look forward a bit. We can't keep dwelling on the past, now can we?

I wan't to announce a few travel plans for the future. I will update the list as we go but here is what I know for now.

October- November 2017 -Riding with Adam Hays and eating delicious food and drinking tasty coffee in New York.

December 5th-14th 2017 - Back at Let's Buzz in Bergen, Norway. Some xmas/anti Xmas time will be held on Saturday the 9th. Check Let's Buzz' Facebook for details. For normal booking email me at Onkelallan@gmail.com

February 3rd-4th 2018 - Chiangmai, Thailand Convention. With following vacation and possibly a short guest spot.

March 9th-11th 2018 - Mondial du Tatouage, Paris, France. Will be doing walk-ups from predrawn designs so just come by.

In the works is also a bunch of new merch. So far I just launched a new shirt. Hope you will like it! One more coming soon plus "godless tattooing" aka Corpsepaint uncle will be back in stock soon as well.
But for now you can get your hands on this burning hot item. Get yours before I run out of your size.

230 pages of Black Metal goodies. Drawings, paintings, tattoos, photos and sketches. Foreword by the legend, and my friend, Kristian "Gaahl" Espedal.



Ok before this gets out of hand and gets toooooo long I better get you guys a couple of tattoos. That is usually why you guys are here, right?

Before I go I want to mention that since I will be in New York this year for Halloween there will be no Halloween walk-in day at Conspiracy Inc. THIS year but we hope that we can pick it back up next year. So start thinking about something cool to dress up as next year for the Conspiracy Inc. Halloween bash!

As always, let me know what you want, where you want it, how big you want it and when you would like to have it done. Anything to make the booking process easier and faster. Thank you!

Looking forward to see you soon!

Back in the New York Grooooooove!

Hey there!
It's sad that I need to travel to find the time to post anything here on my blog... and it's sad that I have to blog when I am traveling. Naaah, It's all good. First day back in New York and I am hanging out at Red Rocket, my New York tattoo home for the next few weeks. 
Much have happened since we last talked. Much is still happening. Things that will be unveiled in the near future. Thing is in the works that will change many things concerning me and my shop. More about that in the nearer future.

One of the things that has occupied much of my time the last many months have been my Black Metal book, "Black". It is finally done and printed and is now a reality! IT EXCIST!!! Even though I haven't seen it yet myself, I believe it to fucking amazing. 

Here is a little picture of the amazing cover and the cool box it comes in.


You can check out more about it at Clandestine Republic HERE and buy it HERE
I will have a small amount available at the shop at some point but the only way to by it online is through Clandestine Republic. All questions about buying, shipping etc should be directed to them since I have nothing to do with that myself. There will be a small amount of extra VIP editions available as well so don't sleep on that one. 

There is a couple of other cool new Uncle Allan items for sale at the moment. I finally got talked into making sketchbooks... so I figured, why not make two? Right? So I got some stuff together and gave it to Gentlemans flash who did 2 amazing sketchbooks for me. I can't decide which one I like the best. I'm really happy what he did with both. You can buy "lines & Sketches" HERE and "Stencils & Sketches" HERE.


There is also a few new items for your cool wardrobe. A re-design of a "classic" Uncle Allan shirt. I redid the logo on the front of this Black Metal shirt with my corpse paint on it. The new logo is inspired (stolen from) by Watain and Ondskapt. 
The back is a photo I took of Fantoft Stave church in Bergen, Norway. 

There is also something for your cool battle vest! These two cool patches!! 




All printed by my good friend Marco at Perpetual Lab.

I also did this set of prints of burning churches. 5 Norwegian burning churches that got burned by black metal people back in the days. They only come as a set.

You can get it all HERE on my online store.

I have a few more items hopefully to be added on a few weeks. I can't say too much but it might involve pins, prints and stitched patches.. maybe! 

What else is new? What else do I have to tell you guys? Well, tons of things! Travel and event dates...

Conspiracy Inc. will have a Halloween party on the 5th of November. There will be walk in halloween tattoos by Jakub and myself from 12:00-20:00 and with following partyyyyy. Come get tattooed or just hang out and have a drink and sing your heart out at Karaoke. Half price on your halloween tattoo if you're dressed up. I will post preview of my flash on my instagram soon (Unclea).
Hope to see some of you there!

I will be back in Bergen for some anti-christmas madness at Let's Buzz. I will be there from the 7th-11th of December. Still have a few appointments available so email me if you are interested. 

I will be back at the Paris convention, Mondial Du Tatouage on the 3rd-5th of March. I will be doing walk-ups from pre-drawn designs as usual, so just drop by.

There is some other trips in the planning but for now that is all that is set! 

I am currently booking from now and till april 2017. Email me your idea to Onkelallan@gmail.com to book and let me know when you are looking to book in. 

Ok... I think that is it for now... don't want to spoil you guys with too much fun! I will see if I can post some more while I am on vacation. Maybe even some tattoo pictures!

Norway!

As always, many things to report and I have had no time or energy to post anything about it. I feel bad! I wanna update you all and keep this here blog alive! But things are finally looking like they are going in the right direction. Light in the end of a long long tunnel that has seemed to be going on for ever. But with our new colleague, Marcio, and future shop help, things are clearing up and more time is in my future. I am hoping to be able to post more about this mysterious new guy on the Conspiracy Inc. blog very soon.

The Black metal book... "Black"... has taken and seems to continue to take a lot of my time. Just when I think it is over, new tasks comes up and steal me away from other projects. 
The pre-sale is still going on. Clandestine Republic still needs to sell a few more preorders in order to pay for the printing of this glorious book. The special prints and postcards that I have gotten made for the book has been printed and is now sitting on my desk, waiting to get signed... one more task for me to do, before shipping them off to Clandestine Republic so they can be added to the VIP edition of the book, Only available  through pre-orders. We are sorry that the release is taking a bit longer than expected, but be assured that one of the reasons for this is that we want to make sure that you get the absolute best black metal book you have ever seen. 
So if you haven't already ordered your copy, please go do so right here!

Here is a little preview of the goodies ready to sign and put into the limited edition VIP version of "Black"

On other important news!
I will be heading back to Bergen, Norway in August. I have been invited to bring my camera along to the "Beyond the Gates" festival and why not make a couple of cool tattoos while hanging out with some cool people at Let's Buzz? So if anyone wants to get something done between the 23rd - 31st of August, please send me a mail with all info needed. Idea, placement, size, Budget, preferred date, etc. Send it to 
Onkelallan@gmail.com

Hope to see you there.


That is all the time I have for now for blogging! I will try to make an effort to be back in a few days with more news.

Sign Of An Open Eye




Here is some more photos from the amazing Blekk Metal Event this year in Bergen, Norway. These are from one of my favourite shows, Gaahls Wyrd. More shots and alternative versions can bee seen on my photo blog HERE







Unholy Night




Using these holidays to post some stuff on these here old blogs. I guess it is about time and waaaaay overdue.
In November I was a part of a very special and historic black metal and tattoo event in Bergen, Norway... Blekk Metal. Go check out the site to see more about what you missed out on. And miss out you did if you weren't there. This was a once in a life time kinda thing!
Besides being there to tattoo I also brought my camera to capture a few of the bands playing there. Some of these photos have been posted on my photo blog and more will follow soon. Go HERE to see them.
Here is a couple of alternative versions of some of the shots.

Nordbundet


The jouney continues! 
As part of my never ending project, The Black Metal book, I will be heading back to Norway, more specifically, Bergen. From February 1st till the 8th I will be taking photos of what I believe gives Norwegian Black Metal that unique sound. There is just something about the cold, grim, yet beautiful surroundings that I believe takes root in the sounds no matter if it is intentional or not. 
I want to go back and capture some more of this nature, these trees and also revisit Fantoft Stave church. A famous landmark in the Black metal history. 

But it will not only be all about photos. 
I will be hanging out and tattooing a bit at Let's Buzz. A shop I have known about since I started tattooing back in 1999 but never been to. I am excited about going there and work with this bunch of god people. 
BUT... The spots are limited since my main goal is to take pictures for the book. I already have a few people and regulars lined up but since I still collects stuff for the book... and since I am in Norway... I would love to get to do a few Black Metal Tattoos while I am there. 
So if anyone is interested in getting a black metal tattoo while I'm in Bergen, Norway from the 2nd of febuary till the 7th of febuary please email me at Onkelallan@gmail.com with size, place, idea and what else I would need to know to do your tattoo, and I will try to book it in as soon as possible. Please be patients since I have many mails to answer. 


Should anyone have a great idea for a photo shoot for the book, then please don't hesitate to email me about it. I would be interested in hearing anyones idea if they want to be a part of this book.
Same email:
Onkelallan@gmail.com

Black black black

I'm still working on my Black Metal book project that will be published through Clandestine Republic as soon as I get completely done with putting together stuff... I keep finding stuff I want to add to this dark project of mine and therefore keep postponing the deadline... BUT it will happen. I still feel that there is some black metal tattoos to be done so if you have some cool idea in mind that has something to do with Black Metal then let me know ad I will try to squeeze you in as soon as possible. Since there is a deadline somewhere I will do what I can to get these last minute pieces done asap. So Email me if you have an idea that you think will work with the project. I have to point out that is really have to have some reference to Black Metal music and not just satanic imagery. I would prefer to do stuff with reference to band members or bands but it can also be reference to a song title or even lyrics. 


Immortal on Copenhell 2012


I know that it isn't fair to the ones who have been waiting for an appointment forever but I need to finish this soon so I will have to do it this way. But if you are on the waitinglist to get something else you can still jump on this opportunity and still keep your spot on the list. This is two different things. So get on it people and help me make this book super awesome and dark!!! 

Email me with idea, size, placement and reference if needed to:

This post has been on its way since monday but it can be hard to find the time to blog when you have to work and hang out with awesome friends who are here to visit so I will have to make it as short as possible now... actually got to go to work right now..

Here is a few quick shots from the show. Time was against me so these are just some quick shots of the walls to give you guys an idea about what was there.
A lot of the paintings and photos is still up for sale so if you are interested in buying an original or a print of one of the photos send me an email.

All photos and paintings comes framed as you see them here. There is no prints of the paintings. So if you are interested send me a mail for size, availability and prizes. Please mention which one you are interested in and maybe a second option.

There is also a few of the limited Uncle Allan Black Metal shirts left and some of the stoner metal chick shirts so let us know if you are interested in those bad boys!
