In between farming,repairing storm damage,fighting with insurance,riding and Tattooing..................i have managed to attempt to build some Tattoo machines.
The frame designs are based on two traditional style machines...namely a Bulldog and a Jonesy.
As these are my first attempt,i have outsourced coils and A bars...but as of this week...i should be hand wrapping my own coils.


The Jonesy is set up as a Whip Shader(for soft delicate grey wash)

And the Bulldog is set up as a fast Liner(not quite a cutback...but still fast and punchy)

So the final year end results are out.
I ended my race season finishing 5th overall in the Regional Off Road Series.
My sponsor is so pleased that i have a full team ride next year.

First main race of the season will be The Roof Of Africa....only 30 % of the enties finish.
Still considered one of the Toughest Off Road Races in the world.

Best i start training now.

A friend of mine(also a Tattoo artist) wanted me to draw and then Tattoo a styalised picture of a machine on his forearm.
Here is my first draft.......

Blown geysers......rats in the ceiling and lilly white thighs....
My geyser blew last night...Water everywhere....
A family of rats has decided to move into my ceiling...gentle persuation does not seem to work..
Just received my new coils and springs for my machines.......my lilly white thighs are calling....
