Not-so-foggy London Town

I was in the middle of writing a really exciting post (no, really!) about upcoming events at the studio, but as i was uploading pictures, i realized that i had way too many for one post.
And also i feel like the London Tattoo Convention deserves a post of its own.
Not because i'm gonna write a whole bunch about it, but just cause the show was so kick-ass this year!
Like, it always is, but every year it gets just a little bit better, and so this was the best one yet.
We shared a booth with Chriss Dettmer (as we always do and always will!), and we had a great time, and Allan and Chriss got to do a bunch of cool tattoos.
There's still some left from the super sexy American Apparel flash that Allan did, though, but those will be available at the studio on upcoming flash days (more about that in the next post!)
We saw lots of clients, friends, healed tattoos from last year, and unlike the other years, we even had some good food and coffee!
Oh, and as the title of this post implies, the weather was pretty great too!
Yup, it was great.

Ok, pictures so we can move on to other important stuff.

We stayed at a new hotel this year, and holy shit, what a difference that made... never again, Ibis!

Allan hard at work, as always

Stay tuned for the next post, coming up in a matter of minutes, if i don't get distracted by something shiny or edible.

London!

Ok, yeah, it may be kind of last minute, as we're leaving tomorrow, but here's that preview i promised you!
Allan has been working lots of late nights to finish these sheets for the convention, so we hope you'll like them.
We will bring his flash from last year too, so whatever he didn't get to tattoo last year is still available too.
There may also be some originals for sale, so come by the booth and check them out.

Enjoy, and see you at the convention!

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!

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?

April 2010

Just establishing the first blog page for Seppuku Tattoo, 2.0.

The new shop is relocated 900 miles away from its former location in Savannah, GA, & is still undergoing renovation & inspections. When we are ready, we will announce its address & opening dates, which should be in a few short weeks. In the meantime, I'm cramming on updating my five year hiatus on web design & giving our site a sorely needed renovation itself.

Just a FYI, both Matt & Johnny are attending both Hell City Columbus & Hell City Phoenix, (http://www.hellcity.com/) & also the Richmond Summer Arts Festival. (http://www.birdltd.net/)
