All hail the pumpkin king

Here is another blogpost directly from my phone to you, yes you, right there in front of the computer. Wow right? Technology.
Anyway. If you follow me on instagram or twitter you already know this but we are having a Halloween day at the shop this Saturday. I have been working on a flash sheet that I will be tattooing from. No appointments or reservations and these bad boys and girls will not only be done once so if you have your eye on something the. Don't worry you will have plenty of chances to get it done. Thing is, on this special day it will be half price if you are dressed up. I'm not talking putting on a hat. We want to see some really well thought out costumes. So get dressed up and drop by the shop for some Halloween fun and cool tattoos by me and mr Chriss Dettmer who will bring his own sheet of scary goodness.
The fun starts at 1.
Hope to see you there.

Leftovers

Yesterday was our second attempt to get the danish customers in gear and give them a chance to skip waiting lists and all that stuff...be spontaneous and just jump right in and get at tattoo. Well... Let's start with the concept.

As some of you know (you who follow me on twitter, here and instagram) we had a few leftovers from the London flash and since I really wanted to do some more tattoos from these pages I decided to make two days where you could skip the waiting list and get a tattoo right now. First day was previous friday. I ended up doing two tattoos witch was really good but there would have been time for a few more. Still a big thanks to Jonas and Kasper for getting a piece done. Second day was yesterday. Much better! 3 guys came from Sweden to get a piece of the action and our regular customer Ole also wanted a little something. Just like in London, everything just worked out smoothly and I had a really fun day. Thanks guys! It was awesome to work like this and actually get to do 4 cool tattoos on 1 day.

If I still sound a bit disappointed it's only because I had hoped for more people to be spontaneous and just drop by. I do feel it was a success and I had great fun both days. It just seems funny how people always complain about how impossible they think it is to get tattooed by me when really, it's not. Join the waiting list. Look on our twitter for last minute cancelations, and drop by when we have a walking day like these two days. I hope it is just a matter of getting used to this before we can make it work because I have plans about doing this at least once a month. I'm gonna build up a collection of flash that will be available on these days and where you can just drop by to get tattooed on the day. It won't be one of a kind flash like this was but I'm hoping that the collection will grow so that there will be smaller chance for repetitions. The few designs that hasn't been done from the London flash will be going into the flash archive but those designs that I have tattooed by now will not be made again. DONE!

So keep an eye out for flash walking day news later. It everything works out the firs one will be sometime in December. So remember: Walk-in...no appointments needed. No custom work, ONLY from my own flash. More info soon.

So here is what came out of the leftover days, minus one that was bleeding a bit too much to get a good picture of it.

SALE!!

We have started our staycation that will last all of october. That however doesn't mean that I won't be working at all. Still have bills to pay and we do have a few fun projects in mind...maybe around Halloween!?!?

But first things first. As I have a few designs left-overs from the London flash that I really really want to do I have decided to have a flash sale out. This means that you will have a chance to skip the 2 years waiting list and get tattooed right now... if you would like to have any of the flash designs done that is. I'm gonna have this Friday the 7th and then Saturday the 15th of october to choose from. So if you are interested in getting one of the designs done let me know asap. Who ever comes first gets an appointment. I'm gonna try to squeeze as many in as possible since there is different sizes to choose from. I might update once in a while about what flash is left to choose from. All designs will be done only once except the King Diamond Flash. I might make prints of that so I can't promise that there won't be reproductions of that one. I will still tattoo from it if anyone wishes. So Email me if you are interested in getting something done this Friday or Saturday the 15th. You can also try your chance and drop by. If there is time left I will be doing walk-ins from the sheets as well. Anything to do more from these pages.

Email Amalie for appointments at conspiracyinctattoo@gmail.com

So here is what is left so far.

London is the reason

Here is the fruits of one of the most stressful weeks ever. As you may know if you read this blog or follow me on Instagram or twitter I had decided to make a special flash set to tattoo from at this years London Tattoo convention. As always this had to be done in the last minute which resulted in a week of no sleep and no time to hang out with my wife or anyone else for that matter. But my plan worked. The deal was that there would be no pre bookings. Who ever came first when I get there or finished a tattoo would get the next one. This part could use a bit of adjustment. It worked perfect for me as I was just tattooing non stop friday and saturday and got a small break sunday when we decided to stop the walking part after the first one as it was kinda big and they closed at 7. I do feel that there were a lot of people who might have felt that they wasted time just hanging out at my booth waiting to get a spot, all for nothing. I do wanna thank you all for the patience and the interest and I hope that you will come back and try again next year. If you were one of those who waited for nothing I would like to hear what we can do better next year. I am gonna do the same thing: make a set of flash to choose from and do the walk-in thing again. I just want to hear if there is anything we can do better so we don't waste peoples time. Write a comment if you have an idea.

A big thank you to you guys who did made it and got tattooed. Thank you for the patience and for sitting in painful positions while getting tattooed for hours!

Thank you to all the people who have shown interest in the flash set and asking for prints. There might be prints of the 2 sheets that I didn't tattoo from including the King Diamond sheet. I am looking into getting those printed but not sure yet so be patient and don't email me about them just yet. It will be up here if I go through with them.

Today is the first day of our whole month of stay-cation. I do plan on working now and then but mostly work on the tons of other things that I have started but never finished. BUT... I have this idea. I wanna do some more of the pieces from the London flash that never got done. I will find a few days in the end of october where it will be possible to get some of the designs done and skipping the loooong waiting list that I have. So if you a interested in getting a piece done from one of these sheets then stay tuned. I will announce the dates in a few days.

But here is what this post is all about...the designs that DID get tattooed at the London Convention 2011. It seams like it is impossible for me to take good pictures at the convention and that actually resulted in one tattoo missing here. Sorry Matt.

Enjoy:

London news.

Here is a quick post made from my iPhone so I'm sorry if it doesn't look like it is supposed to. This is the first time I try this blogger app but I have had noooo time to blog for a while. Every day working and going home afterward to paint for my London flash. Still not done yet but this is the last chance I have to post a preview of what you can get done at this weekends London tattoo convention. There is no appointments so just drop by and see if there is an opening and something you like. Every design will only be done once so it will remain exclusive.
Now if you will excuse me I have a tattoo to do before packing and finishing my flash.

here we go

So as promised... Im back with more pictures of things that I have drawn on people! Wow... right? I actually did it.

Ok so here is some of the left overs that didn't made it to the last post. I still have a few pieces left but I still don't want to spoil you with them all at once. Patience my friends!

But since I have been cheating and actually made this post right after that last one, I don't really have anything new to tell. Nothing really happened the last 10 minutes so here is the pictures as promised.

A little different kind of tribute to the two daughters but hey, if the girls wants skulls then that's what daddy should get.

Thomas dropped by from the states (well he was in europe anyway) to get this evil witch. Looking forward to get a healed picture of that one. Another super trooper in the books.

Them British girls really like their tea so here is a good start of a new sleeve.

Another British gal with her fancy lady who have a ship in her hair for some reason. Who are we to judge. I say if the lady want a ship in her hair then let her have it!

That's it for this time. Be back soon!

Hello hello

By request from certain people I am back at the blogging. I am taking a break from making the cover for my friends in The Kandidate. The front is done and I will be working on the rest later today and this weekend we will have a photoshoot for the album as well. Fun times. It is also time for me to get working on the flash designs that I will offer for walk in customers at this years London Tattoo convention. There will be no appointments so if you wanna get tattooed by me at the show just drop by and see if there is anything you like. As always there will be no necks, ribs and other back breaking spots. I all reveal this much about the designs... it will be Metal, it will be dark it, it will be satanic, it will be awesome! So drop by and see what I have come up with and grab a few of my new black metal stickers. 

I am also almost done with all the tshirts designs that I have been working on so soon I will just need to figure out where to print them but I got an idea so stay tuned for that too. 

Also in the works: It looks like we are on to a way to make fancy ass prints. This will make it possible for me to do more limited runs of prints which means more prints for sale since I don't have to do a big run each time. More about that soon as well.

Alright, I think that was enough exciting news for now. I need to save some for later posts so you guys don't have to wait months between blog posts. I have even saved a few pieces for the next post. Speaking of... here is some tattoos:

Our friend Adam Hays was here working for a week and he got him self a little tribute to his granny who used to shoot the coyotes from the porch back home in Texas. Yeb!

Alex came back for a bit of touchup on his epic battle between the mongoose and the cobra. Since he had to come all the way from the Uk to get that done we figured that we might as well add a small new piece to make it worth the trip. A tribute to his mom...i think it was...right?

...and the epic battle.

This one here was an instagram classic so here it finally is for the blog readers.

Last one for today is my Norwegian regular, Martin. I couldn't get a good picture of it when we did it so I was happy to get a picture of it healed this time. Finished a few new pieces on him but they will have to wait till next time he's back. 

I promise I will be back soon.

Don't you forget about me

Here is a quick little post to show that I'm still here. We have been on stay cation for some time now where I have been working on business cards, stickers and most importantly tshirt designs. More about this really soon...like for real soon. But now I have to make sure that my wife doesn't die of boredom so I have to take her to Sweden and maybe our vacation house.

So here is a little "be right back" sign from me. A couple of tattoos that never made it up here. Got a few more when I have time to unload my camera.

See you soon.

Just like Pearl Jam I'm still alive

I know I know... but let's just skip the excuses.

Sooo...I'm back.

Still not a lot of good shot of finished pieces. Been working on a lot of bigger ones or finishing stuff where it's hard to get a good shoot because some is new and some is healed....Buuuut I do have a bit to share and just to make sure that I have something to blog soon, I'm only giving you these 4.

Don't know what to tell about them so how about you just sit back and look at them and make up your own stories this time?

Many things have happened since last time! MANY. Some you can check out on the Conspiracy Inc. blog (Like my surprise Black Metal Birthday party) or on my photo blog (like our trip to Hong Kong and the Roskilde Festival).

I have been working on some sweet tshirt designs that I hope I can share with you soon. Just need a bit of cleanup in photoshop and then they should be good to go to the printer....who ever that end up beeing. But I hope to share them sooner than that. Other sweet metal related things have been going on at my drawing table. Like so evil satanic logos for both me and the shop! EVIL I tell you!! Soon!!!

I promise I will be back in a few days. My vecation is coming up so there should be time to blog a bit and catch up on things.

See you all soon!

Don't forget about Japan

Helloo hello.

I'm sorry that my first post back from our vacation isn't more interesting than this but it is important though.


Most of you know that Japan mean a lot to me an my wife. It is our second home and my personal favorite place in the world. This is why it's important to us that we can do something to help the country that was shaken to it's knees.
Just because we don't hear about it in the news anymore doesn't mean that they don't still need our help. 
We would like to thank everyone who has already bought a print to help. It has been amazing to see how supportive people have been. Some have even bought more than one to help out. A great present with a good thought behind it.


The red cross campaign is ending in a few days so if you want to help out then hurry up and buy one of these limited prints where all the money goes to red cross and Japan. 

Go HERE to buy one.

Ain't fit to live here

As always I have a hard time getting back into blogging when it has been a while. I miss it but as usual time and mostly energy has been working against my blogness. Still is. We are leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow so there are things to be done. But I figured I better go on vacation without blog guilt. It will a real vacation. NO work. Hopefully I will get my dose of photo action and other than that we just plan to get as much hang time with Nick aka Electric Pick as possible. We are looking forward to see this place of his that stole him away from us. So no fresh tattoo shots from Hong Kong but hopefully the photoblog will boom when I get back. 

Let's go back in time a bit. Let's catch up, shall we?

Friends have been visiting. Good times. Last it was Joey Ortega who was scheduled to get tattooed by me so we figured that he might as well just stay a bit a do a few tattoos. It was cool to have him and hang out a bit outside a convention.

I have been starting a bunch of cool new pieces but I rather wait until I have finished photos before they go up here. Many has made it to my Instagram though so if you are an Iphone user get Instagram and find me there. I'm Unclea. 

Since the sun started to appear I have been listening to a lot of metal. I think I have mentioned that in the previous post. That has opened a big heavy wooden door of inspiration that has started to show on my drawing table. It looks like there will be 3 or 4 new tshirts coming in a hopefully near future. I still need to find a place that can print them.

The last post also showed one of my new Black Metal paintings. The response to it has been really awesome and since I had fun doing it I have decided to make a whole series of them. I have just got the biggest inspiration to the project in the mail but more about that later. 

All this metal has also ment that Mr. Dettmer and myself once again will team up at the London convention and have decided to stick with the Metal theme. We will see what crazyness that will lead to. But before you guys start emailing me about appointments please read this following text:

I will make a set of flash sheets made specially for London convention. There will be a theme...yes...it is METAL. I am planning to show a sneak peak when we get closer to the convention and when I have actually made some. There will be NO APPOINTMENTS!!  ONLY WALK-INS!! First to booth, first served. No reservations if I can help it and there will be no customizing of the pieces since I will have everything ready including stencils. All pieces will be up for grabs one time. When they are tattooed they will no longer be for sale. 

Don't worry, I will get back into details again later.

Ok I know there is so many things I wanted to share and stuff but while I am sitting here writing, printing tickets and stuff time flies so I better start thinking about what to bring to Hong Kong. Sorry!

Hope to be back soon. 

Ohh..wait... Pictures...there is pictures of tattoos...

Ok quick one.... random order...

 

 Jon got a tattoo of his mom as a young girl. I hope I can catch a good healed picture later...at a better angle...

Martin dropped by to get his chest shaved and a healed picture taken...well a picture taken of his healed tattoo.

Rikke B finally got her appointment so she could get a tribute to her grandma who called her mouse and made mice umbrellas out of her favorite flowers. 

 Sarah came back from England to add a Johnny Depp to the collection. This one from Sweeney Todd. Hopefully I will get a healed photo of that one as well later.

Ok that was it for this time. See you soon 

Black Easter

It has been a while since easter already but better late than never right? So here is how I celebrated easter... Evil style!!

Our friends in Cancer Bats came to town and Stanley brought them here in his van. Stanley is an awesome guy and he is also the one who introduced us to the guys in Cancer Bats when he got us in at the Roskilde Festival 2 years ago. Needless to say, good times were had. New friendships were made and the rest is history. We have talked about doing a satanic bible on him for a long time so since there was a bit of spare time before the bats had to play we figured that now was the time! So done and done! One satanic bible of DOOM!
I took some pictures of the bats the night before when they played Odense. Check them out on my photoblog.

Max, our Russian comrade, came back to get a satanic crow. And that is what he got.

He brough presents from mother Russia. Good stuff...good stuff indeed.

The Russian gift basket incl. the flowered scarf.

In all this unholyness we had to get Martin in as well. The original plan was to start 2 new pieces on him but I decided to finish the chest piece of evilness instead and just start one piece the next day. Pictures of that next time.

One of the few painting that I actually did get done on my vacation was time little thing.

With all this black art comes a soundtrack as well. A lot of headphone time so I wouldn't drive Amalie crazy. I actually kinda like being in my own little world of headphones. Keeps me more focused. The problem is that it can be really antisocial at home. But it works.
