Hello, fancy lady

Tiger style

    On Friday Allan did this sweet tiger on our very old client Peter.
    Old as in "got tattooed by Allan 10 years ago", not as in "whoa, that's an old dude!".
    I'm tired.
    Anyway, expect to see a nicer photo of this one, or at least one that's taken with a real camera and not my phone, some day in the future, if and when Allan decides to blog about tattoos again!


    Grrrr!

*Insert sound of me sneezing*

    It's Tuesday, and we're back to work after a long and surprisingly unproductive break.
    I'm not super bummed about being back to work, but that's not saying that today couldn't have been just a little easier. 
    For the first time in what seems like a very long time the weather is cold and wet, i have a vicious cold that makes me sneeze every 5-10 seconds, and there's a mysterious draft coming from somewhere in my office (most likely the very old window, although i can't feel anything when i'm standing over there?) which is not helping with the whole sneezing situation.
    But it could be worse. At least we have a work-from-home day tomorrow already.
    Yeah, we're easing back into it for sure.
    But although we've had time off, Allan did tattoo for a couple of days last week.
    Max came from Russia to get his lower arm done, and to give us some sweet Russian souvenirs, and Martin came down from Norway to finish his frontpiece (something he wasn't quite prepared for) and to start a new piece on his lower leg.
    A couple of brutal days, for us and the troopers.

    Russian souvenirs!
    Martins frontpiece of doom

     I was taking a picture of this fancy gentleman werewolf Eckel did on Brian, and i somehow managed to fit everyone in the picture!

    Oh, and in case you missed it, we have a guest artist coming in the end of the month, and you should all get tattooed by him  (well, not all, but some of you should)!Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/search/label/Uncle%20A%20Tattoos

Bird tattoos (and a tiny little rant)

    Man, it feels so weird to be in Copenhagen and not at work 24-7.
    And by weird i mean fantastic!

    Eckel is still in Thailand and Allan doesn't have to tattoo until next week, so we only go to the shop once in a while to hang out and ship out prints.
    More about them later, since there may be a deadline coming up.
    Anyway, i had some pictures uploaded from weeks ago that i just forgot to publish.
    So here, surprise, tattoo pictures!

    Here's Martin, a shop regular, who on this day forgot his comfy pants and had to wear, uhm, alternative leg-wear!
    Fancy gentleman by Eckel
    Me taking a picture of Eckel taking a picture of the fancy gentleman!
    A good old Danish "skarv" by Eckel (that's a cover-up, by the way)
    Peacock by Uncle Allan, started years ago and finished in March

    As you can see, i've started watermarking our pictures again.
    I'm getting so sick of seeing the guys' work floating around the internet, on various tumblr's in particular, uncredited.
    There are too many people reblogging this shit to begin with, and mindless reposting of other peoples work is annoying in itself, but when they start to remove links and credit, well, that's when i get mad.
    If you see any examples of this, please feel free to snitch and let me know so i can have them removed.
    And if you, or someone you know, wishes to use our pictures, all you have to do is ask and make sure the image links back to this blog.
    Easy as that.

Worth the wait

    One of our clients, Innina from Switzerland, did a lovely post on her blog about her and her husbands recent visit to our studio where they got their long-awaited tattoos done.
    Such nice pictures!

    This is her tattoo


    The Red Cross print is selling really well, and i'll be shipping out the first batch tomorrow.
    Thanks to everyone who bought one, retweeted for us, mentioned us on their blog and facebook or told their friends about us.
    We really appreciate your support and we can't wait to send the money from the sales to Japan.Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/search/label/Uncle%20A%20Tattoos

Ria's birds

More butt roses

    I was just about to post something on my personal blog, when i realized that i didn't really have anything to blog about.
    It's a real problem for me these days; either we get home super late and i'm too tired to blog, or nothing new and exciting really happened.
    That's winter for you, i guess.
    Just lots of work and lots of xbox playing.

    But back to this blog, where i actually have a little update on a really cool piece.
    Anne got another session on her... well, her ass, mostly, last week.
    Still only lines, but now there are thicker lines, thinner lines and yeah, basically just a hell of a lot more lines.

    The fanciest butt in town

    Hopefully i'll have another update on this epic piece soon, so stay tuned!Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/search/label/Uncle%20A%20Tattoos

Thank yous

    It's the last day of 2010 and we've had quite a year.
    Anyone who knows us, or follows our blogs, knows that 2010 was the year that we moved to our new home in Schleppegrellsgade. And although the decision to move to this particular location looked like a terrible idea at first, it actually turned out to be a good one in the end.
    We love our new home and couldn't imagine being anywhere else.
    But that doesn't mean that it didn't nearly kill at times. It's been a rough path, getting to where we are now, and not just for us.
    Without the help and support of our team of carpenters and painters, the shop simply wouldn't have happened. There was only so much we could do ourselves, so if they hadn't decided to go all-in with us, we wouldn't have made it, and the shop wouldn't be the magical place it is today; a place we actually look forward to going to every day.
    They basically worked two jobs for months and got even less sleep during that period than we did, and trust me, that wasn't much. Some day oil paintings of their handsome faces will grace the walls of Conspiracy Inc. Or we'll write a nice song about them or something, but for now they just get a blog post dedicated to them.

    Our friends and family have also been a huge support throughout the year. Whether they helped us paint our new walls, loaned us money when our most valuable equipment broke down, gave us crap to put in our empty new shop, or loaned us their car so we could go to a million flea markets, it would have been hard to get to where we are now without them.

    I know this is turning into a lame blog version of the Queens new years speech, and that really wasn't where i was going with this, but i have to give one last thank you. To our clients.
    In the beginning, around March when we first moved, there was no furniture for them to sit on, no real entrance, and in some rooms, no floor. In the winter time there was (or is) very little heating and some days they'd be lying almost naked in a freezing room for hours and hours, and afterwards they'd give us money.
    They keep coming up with awesome ideas for the guys to tattoo, and rarely complain when they get something completely different from what they initially asked for. And sometimes they bring us cake too.
    Thanks guys, i hope you know that we appreciate the crap out of you!

    Last tattoo of 2010; Jon's death metal swallow

    We hope you all have a super happy new year, wherever your are, and we hope to see you at the shop or around the globe in 2011!Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/search/label/Uncle%20A%20Tattoos

*insert sound of crickets and tumbleweed*

    Uhm, so, it's been a while, huh (*stares awkwardly at feet*)... anyone still here?
    Lots have happened since we got back from Japan, but the truth is, i've been too busy to blog about it. Sorry about that.
    Everyone at the shop is super busy these days, and the upcoming holidays isn't making it any better. But we're good, we're enjoying hanging out again, and returning to Denmark wasn't nearly as bad as i'd feared.
    I think one of the main reasons we're actually enjoying being back, is the fact that we finally got our kitchen back.
    Yeah, that's right, the water damage, and the mayhem that followed, has been fixed. And it only took them 7 months too!
    There are still a ton of things that need fixing, like our heating for example, but there'll always be stuff like that, and for now i am just happy that my favorite room in the shop is back.

    Christmas hygge in the front room
    We were gonna go to the Swedish embassy today and get a rug to really tie the room together, but Allan is afraid to drive in this weather, so that's gonna have to wait (can't blame him, everything is covered in snow right now)
    Present from a Russian client
    A pretty bad picture of a pretty great room
    What this kitchen really needs is more food related art work (hint hint, guys)
    Apparently this is called a colander in English? Blogging is constantly teaching me something new!
    Eckel put the photos back up on the photo wall while we were away... that could not have been easy!

    Allan has been tattooing pretty much non-stop since we came back, but i haven't even really had time to beg him for blog photos.
    But last night I did manage to snap a few pictures of this black and gray beauty he started last week, and continued on yesterday (that's why the angel is still a little scabby looking).

    One more session and some touch up and this should be done
    As you can see, Rasmus is now the proud (i assume) owner of two rare b&g Uncle Allan tattoos!

    I promise (sort of) to post a little more regularly... or at least more than once a month, as soon as things start to slow down.
    In the meantime, i suggest you go check out this sweet feature Marisa did about our beloved shop over on Needles and Sins.
    And while you're there, do yourself a favor and browse the archives too, i guarantee you'll love it.Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/search/label/Uncle%20A%20Tattoos

Wrestlemania

    So, it would seem that Allan already posted a teaser on his blog yesterday, so i better hurry up and post the whole thing before we leave for Japan tomorrow.
    That's right, we're out of here, so the next post is likely to be something Inkrat and Tokyo related.

    Ok, without further ado, Ole's magnificent wrestler tattoo
    And a quick iPhone shot from our farewell dinner last night

A finished backpiece

    After that last post i figured you guys needed something less... wordy.
    I know i did!
    So here's a picture of Sanna's finished backpiece, taken right before her final session, which was about 20 minutes worth of touch up.
    Easiest session she ever had!

    Done and done

    Even though her back is all done, you probably haven't seen the last of this trooper yet.
    From what i've heard, she has some killer ideas for her lower arm, so we hope to see her back at the studio as soon as her and Allan's schedules will allow it.Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/search/label/Uncle%20A%20Tattoos

Uhm...

Under the cherry tree

Rosy cheeks (pun totally intended)

    Today Anne had her second session on what is turning out to be a rather large backpiece (see pictures of the first session here).
    Anne was not expecting this thing to include neither butt nor ribs, but that kinda just happened anyway!
    But i think we can all agree, at least the three of us did, that it's staring to look pretty damn awesome.

    It's always so nice and chill when friends get tattooed.
    Lots of time for coffee and cake, and chatting about random shit.
    And lots of time for Allan to complete his rose-stencil puzzle without feeling stressed!

    Bird-lady, or lady-bird?
    Butt rose 1
    Butt rose 2

    Next time, whenever that will be, Allan will add some more lines, and hopefully some black too.
    I personally can't wait to see this one finished!Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/search/label/Uncle%20A%20Tattoos

のうみそ ください

    Saxe from Germany has a way of sneaking in and getting small monster tattoos when his friend Björn comes to get tattooed by Allan.
    And since Björn was only getting touch-up on his now finished sleeve today, the tattoo even got a bit bigger than planned.

    Something tells me this fella enjoys eating brains...

    I was planning on taking an in-progress shot of the huge thigh piece Eckel started today, but before i knew it, the customer had put her pants on and was out the door.
    Don't you hate it when that happens?
    Ah well, maybe i'll have better luck tomorrow.Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/search/label/Uncle%20A%20Tattoos

Back at work, and happy about it too

    Oh hi, how are y'all doing?
    Us? Well, we're back from London and we couldn't be happier.
    The convention was a bit weird this year, and none of us had a truly great time, but i plan to rant about that on my personal blog tomorrow, so i'll spare you for now.
    But Allan is gonna post the three tattoos* he did while there very soon.

    In the meantime, i had a rare opportunity to get a sneaky shot of a tattoo he hasn't gotten any decent pictures of yet.
    See, Nicolai came in to get some robot-spacechick-madness done by Nick last night, and while he was just sitting there, i got a few classy iPhone pictures of his penguin!

    Penguin awesomeness, real pictures will pop up on the blog of Uncle eventually


    More news, dates, updates, and that sort of stuff coming soon.
    Right now i think i'm gonna try to convince Allan to watch some more Bored to Death with me!

Sake maki

    It's always difficult for me to get Allan (or any of the other guys for that matter) to give me pictures for this blog.
    Understandably, they'd rather post them on their own blogs, and i can't exactly blame them, but in order for this blog to have the occasional tattoo photo, so it's not all about me whining about broken kitchens, i have to demand tattoo pictures.
    As i did with this one when i said, "i'm taking the sushi and that's it!"
    Or something along those lines...

    Anyway, here's Kim's flying maki

    And here are all those battles i did not win.
    Until next time, Allan...Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/search/label/Uncle%20A%20Tattoos

Vampires and water leaks

    Ok, since Allan already posted a sneak peek of this one on his blog, i better hurry up and post the whole thing.
    Keep in mind that it's one of those half healed/half fresh situations that are so damn hard to photograph without glare.
    But not to worry, we'll get a healed shot when Stefan comes back to get his backpiece started!

    Grrr, argh

    In shop news, it seems like we may get our kitchen back in the not so distant future.
    After much delay, shit is finally starting to happen, and the water damage that broke out in May, and has left us without a kitchen and therefore with a very messy shop, for over a month, could be fixed within the next week or so.
    I'm hopeful, but not optimistic; shit has a way of going wrong for us just when we're about to reach our goal.
    The goal, in case you all forgot, is of course not only to have a completely finished shop, but a shop that is so finished that we can finally have that opening party we've been talking about since March.
    Personally i think we might as well wait until our one year anniversary is coming up.
    I know that sounds a little crazy, but we've waited so long already and now that fall is rapidly approaching with its rainy and windy weather, none of our foreign friends will want to come visit anyway, and who can blame them.
    So yeah, maybe it won't happen until March, but it will eventually happen and when it does, there will be an abundance of 80's hors d'oeuvres for everyone!Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/search/label/Uncle%20A%20Tattoos

Greetings from Transylvania

Dinner is served

    Sorry for the blog silence lately, but as you may know, Allan and myself took a much needed week off in the country.
    Too short, but good nonetheless.
    But now we're back... in fact, we're all back.
    Now, i don't wanna get all sentimental on y'all, but i can't tell you how good it feels to have the whole gang back together again, for the first time since we moved.
    It's fun and awesome and... magical.
    Like, unicorns and rainbows and Zorgon magical.

    The following pictures are from Wednesday.

    Yes, Nick really is back (see more here)
    I can't say for sure, but i think we might be the only tattoo shop in the world that produces our own coriander (and it's good too!)
    Allan started this lovely laaaady on Jens
    Here's what's happening on the other side of that leg... to be continued soon
    Nick bought a rice cooker and made dinner for everyone
    Ta-dah!
    Tuna surprise!
    Geeks, geeking out
    More geeking, and a sleepy Lucifer

    We all stayed at the shop till around one am.
    Who wants to go home when being at work can be so much fun?
    It's probably a good thing we only have two sofas and no shower.

    We saw this on the way home: a tea party on the middle of the road, in the pouring rain.... Copenhagen, what will you think of next?
