London London London

So here I am again...and it has only been a day!!

I wanted to do a post about this years London Convention but as I was looking through my photos I realised that all the photos looked like crap or were out of focus! I did some really really fun ones too but the lighting in the convention is so terrible that it was impossible to get a good shot with my real camera. I was hoping that it would be better if I took them with my iPhone... it wasn't. So no pictures this time! Sorry! You should go to the Conspiracy Inc. Blog to see the post Amalie posted with some shots from the convention. But we still had a great time and as always, I wanna send a giant thank you to all the cool people who dropped by to get tattooed, say hi or buy stuff! THANK YOU!! 

Like the last couple of years, we shared the booth with my good friend Chriss Dettmer. The best booth mate ever. We stayed at a new hotel this time which was a really nice change but also resulted in us being a bit less social than we used to be since we didn't have to walk through the hotel bar on our way to our rooms. The hotel was really nice and in a new area, which meant new restaurants... what a treat! 

This convention thing that I have been doing for the last couple of years, doing walk-up only, from flash, was working perfectly again this year. So well that I will do the same for the Brighton convention. That's right! We are going to be at the Brighton Convention this February. No bookings. Just drop by and see what I have drawn up and who ever is ready as soon as I am will get tattooed. 

I have more new stuff to tell you, so this is it, about London. Sorry for the lack of photos. But I can't leave you without some sort of photo. 

Tune in again tomorrow for a new post.

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.
