A little Wednesday update from Berlin

Hi there!
No real news today.
Well, there's always some news, right?

We're still working on our travel schedule, and finding out if we'll be home in November, or if we'll go to Japan.
Hopefully we'll find out this week, and i'll be posting about it here, of course.
A lot of people have requested appointments in November, so if you're one of them, keep an eye on the blog in the next few weeks.

But London in September is confirmed, and Uncle Allan will be working at the convention next to mr. Chriss Dettmer, doing flash on walk-ups as he's done the previous couple of years.
So no need to write us about booking an appointment at the convention, just show up, form a line if there's more than one of you, and see if there's anything you like.
I'll be posting sneak peeks of the flash he'll have available at the convention, assuming he doesn't finsih at the last minute, of course.

Wendy (wendy_p@live.com.au) and Matthew (matthewgordon@live.com.au) will not be going to London this year, so if you want to get work done by either of them that weekend, they'll be right here in Berlin, ready to tattoo you.
And if you wanna know about their availability on some other dates, just send me an email and i'll check it out.
Below are  few designs with no owners yet, but of course custom work of (almost) all styles and sizes is always an option too!

Oh, and we're actually adding another convention appearance to the calendar soon, so check back to see which convention it is.
Maybe it's near you!?

Our new web shop has had a great start (thank you all for that!) and some items have sold out already and others will soon, so take a look and see if there's something there you just can't live without.
We're working on a few new prints that will hopefully be added soon, and we also just finished setting up our screen printing area, so as soon as we have time to sit down and figure that shit out, expect homemade stuff to be added too!

Instaspam!

Fun little Uncle Allan tattoo, just because!

Mmmmm, shopping...!

I am really excited to announce that we finally have a proper web shop where you can see, and purchase, prints, flash and other exciting products done by the artists of Conspiracy Inc!

It's still in the early stages, so lots more will be added soon, but we already have a bunch of limited and never before seen stuff for you to drool over, so please do that (although not too much, cause that can severely damage your keyboard... just some friendly advice).

conspiracyinctattoo.bigcartel.com

Enjoy, and shop away!

We still have a merch page on this blog where you can see additional photos, so check that too!

Ps. We ship out orders once a week.

Bunnies!

Or just bunny, really... but bunnies! sounded better in my head.

Anyway, Matthew found this rabbit drawing in his giant pile of stuff that recently got shipped here from Australia, and he never did this as a tattoo!
I know, what a shame, but he'd still very much like to do this, or something similar, so if you're interested, send him an email, he still has openings in August and September, so you won't even have to wait much!

matthewgordon@live.com.au 

Oh, and in case i somehow forgot to mention this, or just mentioned this on twitter: Matthew and Wendy are staying in Berlin and at Conspiracy Inc. indefinitely (they have an apartment and pets and bicycles and everything!) so you won't have to worry about either of them skipping town while working on a big tattoo project, they ain't going nowhere.
And you can book with Wendy too, of course (wendy_p@live.com.au)!
She'd love to do some more skull tattoos... just sayin'.

So yeah, tattoos, bunnies, skulls, do it!

A post from the surface of the sun

Earlier today i was sitting in the office, sweating my ass off, thinking "it's too hot to blog!" and then i remembered that Allan is doing three tattoos today, a Sunday, and i decided to not be a dick and maybe just post a little something.
Work solidarity, you know?
Also, the shop is probably the coolest place in a city that's burning up.

Ok, news!

I'm still booking from Uncle Allan's waiting list, so be patient, i will post here when we're taking bookings and for which months.

Matthew is currently designing our new shop business card and it's looking rad so far, very excited to see it finished!
But in between his business card painting and bike riding, he does have time for tattoos, so email him to book in, there are plenty of openings coming up: matthewgordon@live.com.au.

Uncle Allan will be going to the London Convention in September, as usual, and also as usual, he'll be doing walk-ups only.
So the deal is the same as it has been for the last couple of years: come by the booth, pick some one-of-a-kind flash, get tattooed, be happy!
The Aussies will stay in Berlin this time, so if you're in Berlin and want to get tattooed at the studio last weekend of September, just get in touch with them.
I will however be bringing prints and stuff from everyone at the shop, so stop by the booth and see what we have.

We have a bunch of guest artists coming up, all of them pretty much around the same time, early October, and i will be doing separate posts on each of them in August. Yeah, that was a teaser, but i promise i'll let you know soon (hint: i already put two of them in the news section!)

If you have emailed me about merch and i haven't replied, i'm sorry, that whole part of the shop is still a mess, but i'll get on it and get back to everyone real soon, promise!

I recently realized that i haven't really posted that many photos from the new studio, and i wanna do something about that, so we're gonna try to take some decent pictures soon, so you all can see how pretty it looks (really, it's very pretty!)
But until then, here are a few shots from around the studio, as well as a few new Uncle Allan pieces, and Wendy's new awesome business cards!

 

How's that for a 36 degree Sunday update?!

Yeah, not actually that impressive, i know, but just let me think i'm being all productive, ok?

Business as usual

Walk-in week was last week, and what a fun little experiment that was!
Some days were super busy, some not so much, but everyone got to do a bunch of fun tattoos (there was even an all skulls day!) and we met some rad people.
We'll definitely be doing it again some other time during the summer, possibly on a weekend, so feel free to drop a date request in the comments. Who knows, we might pick yours?

Anyway, we're back to normal, and i am currently booking from Uncle Allan's waiting list, so if you're on it, check your email, and possibly your spam filter.
And if you're not on it, now is the time to sign up!

And while i have your attention, if you have an unfinished piece in progress by Allan, how about sending me an email and getting booked in  to finish it?
You all know who you are, and yes, that was totally aimed at you!

Wendy and Matthew still have a bunch of cool designs they'd love to do, but they're of course also available for custom tattoos, just email conspiracyinctattoo@gmail.com to book with them.

That's it for now, please enjoy my sweet collection os straight-from-instagram photos!

June walk-in days!

Hey guys, we are excited to announce that we are having a summer walk-in week, our first one ever, from June 10th till June 15th, both days included!
We started out planning a walk-in day, but we decided to try a whole week to make it a bit easier for those with not-so-flexible jobs, and well, just because we can!
Why not, right?

Matthew and Wendy will prepare some flash, but they will also be able to do small custom pieces, as long as you don't mind waiting for the drawing, of course.
They'll post sketches and flash on their instagrams in the coming weeks, so you can have a sneak peek at what designs you'll have to choose from.

We'll be starting at 1 pm every day, and finish whenever we're finished.
Uncle Allan is unfortunately booked that week, but he promises he'll do the next walk-in week, whenever that'll be*!

We hope many of you will want to come by, check out the shop and get a sweet new tattoo!
Any questions? Email me at conspiracyinctattoo@gmail.com.

*And should anyone cancel during that week, he'll be ready with some rose flash, i'm sure :)

 

 

And one more time in German! (no, i totally didn't write that, i just have awesome German friends to translate for me, that's all): 

 

Hey da draussen, wir sind total aufgeregt euch allen unsere Sommer-Walk-In-Woche zu verkünden!!!!

Unsere erste Walk-In-Woche überhaupt und diese findet vom 10.-15. Juni statt! Also 6 Tage Walk-Ins!!

Wir haben eigentlich geplant einen Walk-In-Tag zu posten, aber haben uns dann kurzfristig dazu entschieden daraus eine ganze Woche zu machen, was es für alle ein wenig einfacher macht in Bezug auf Termine, nicht so flexible Arbeitszeiten, etc! Und natürlich weil wir es einfach machen können!

Also warum nicht, oder?

Wendy und Matthew bereiten gerade ein paar Flashs vor, haben aber auch sicherlich Zeit um einige Customarbeiten machen zu können, solange ihr euch dann die Zeit nehmt auf die Zeichnung zu warten.

Die beiden werden in den nächsten Tagen und Wochen einige Sketches und Flashs auf Instagram posten, so dass ihr die Möglichkeit habt, schon mal einen kleinen Vorgeschmack auf das zu bekommen, was euch dann erwartet und worauf ihr euch schon mal freuen könnt.

Starten werden wir jeden Tag um 13.00 Uhr und hören auf wann immer wir fertig sind.

Uncle Allan ist leider in dieser Woche komplett gebucht, hat aber versprochen, dass er bei der nächsten Walk-In-Woche dabei ist, wann auch immer diese stattfindet!

Sollte in dieser Woche allerdings jemand bei Allan seinen Termin canceln, wird er Wendy und Matthew bestimmt mit einigen Rosen aus seinem Flash zur Seite stehen.

Wir hoffen das viele von euch vorbeikommen, das Studio besichtigen und am Ende eine neues Tattoo tragen werden!

Finally spring

Ok, it's been a while. Time for an update, don't you think?

Spring finally came to Berlin yesterday, and one day later we might all have died from sadness and vitamin D deficiancy, so yay, good timing there spring!

 Yesterday we went flea marketing in summer jackets, and today we had coffee outside with NO JACKETS AT ALL! Yeah, i know!

The studio is coming along great, some might even call it finished, but i won't go that far.

It is awesome, though, i'll agree to that.

And the parts that aren't awesome yet hopefully will be soon.

Wendy and Matthew are settling in really well in their new city and in the studio, and since they literally just got here, they have no waiting lists. That's obviously not gonna last forever, so i suggest you book a spring appointment with them right now, before it becomes too hot to even think about tattoos (what? A summer starved girl can dream, right?).

Email Matthew here: matthewgordon@live.com.au and Wendy here: wendy_p@live.com.au to book!

That's it for now, i'll be back soon with more awesome tattoo pictures, but right now the weather calls for yard work, so i'll be outside if you need me!

It's true, the weather actually is warm now!

From our new shop instagram, where you can follow us for tattoos and studio progress!

(1. New fancy buddy for the hallway 2. New plants for the stairs.... i think that one is actually from my personal instagram account, but whatever, same thing... 3. Tattoo by Uncle Allan 4. Wendy making magical things in the drawing room)

UPDATE: If you are on Uncle Allan's waiting list, don't forget to check your spam filter for emails, as i've heard from a few people whose emails from us regarding booking, ended up there.

So check, and if you're unsure of whether you may have missed an email from me, feel free to ask!

Studio peek

It's funny, for so long we deliberately waited to post any pictures of the shop online, cause we wanted the new place to be a surprise to the Aussies, but now that they're here, and we're allowed to post pictures, i can't really figure out where to start!
So maybe i'll just wait until i get some film in my camera, and take some real photos of the place?
Maybe, but until then, here are a few little sneak peeks of the studio we now call home.

From around the studio: drawing room, waiting room, employee lounge, work room

Same, and a bit of the hallway too, from my instagram

Don't forget that Wendy Pham and Matthew Gordon are actually here now, in Berlin, and ready to take on clients.
Wendy already worked for a bit on Saturday!
Write them an email to book a date, for now or later, they're here for a long time: matthewgordon@live.com.au or wendy_p@live.com.au
And don't forget that we have Joey Ortega visiting in April too.

Sketch by Matthew Gordon, could be your next tattoo!

That time Wendy and Matthew moved to Berlin to work at Conspiracy Inc.

Ok, so now that we've gotten the boring waiting list stuff out of the way (thanks for all the fun requests we've received already, btw), we can move on to more fun things!
Like the reason we've decided that the shop needs to be finished the 26th of this month, and excuse me while i have a panic attack, cause AAAAHHHH, not possible!
Uhm, sorry, back to the point: the reason we want the shop to be done-done, is because our Aussie buddies Wendy Pham and Matthew Gordon are arriving in Berlin and will be working at the shop starting April 1st.
And yes, you can book with them already!
Just send them an email with all your spectacularly interesting ideas, and they'll get back to you when they're ready to start booking.
They'll probably be here for about a year, or at a minimum 6 months, so you can book larger stuff too, not just puny one shots.

We're really looking forward to working with these guys again, and showing them Berlin (or you know, the coffee shop, cause really, when do we have time to see Berlin?), and we hope y'all have some fun tattoos for them to do.

Here are their emails, go go go: matthewgordon@live.com.au and wendy_p@live.com.au
