Recently I attended the King Of Ink Tattoo convention while in Tokyo. I was lucky enough to get a tattoo from Mutsuo from Three Tides Tattoo!

At this point you must be wondering how Mike does it. With 2 shops, 3 children, and his own tattoo schedule to contend with, we find out how Mike makes it all work

Ive been a little lazy with blog updates, so lazy that Part 1 and 2 of Mike Rubendall’s Tattoo Age has slipped past me! Not for long though, check out part 1 now!

Part 2! get on it!

The amazingly talented Mike Moses from Thicker Than Water tattoo in New York  posted some info via his Instagram account today about a pre-sale of a very limited run of prints that went online around 9am this morning, and sold out almost instantly. After almost wetting myself, I got my hands onto one of only 10 of these prints titled “Glimmerhead”. For more of Mikes work, check out www.thedrowntown.com Tattoos by Mike Moses

Matt Cunnington has posted a print which you can get your greasy mitts on until they run out. How they haven’t already is beyond me, but you can bet I have one in the mail, and if you don’t… well… you are clearly insane. The limited run of fifty giclee prints on 308gsm Hahnemuhle rag paper are $100ea. 570 X 250mm. You will need to deposit it into his paypal account via mattmoo72@hotmail.com,  and send him an email with your details after you’ve deposited the cash. Don’t sleep on this one!

Melbourne based artist and our friend Steen Jones’ new website recently went online, so you will no longer have to scour Melbourne’s streets to see what he has been up too. Steen has been leaving his mark all over the city, with his aerosol artwork paying homage to some of tattooing’s greats with his work heavily influenced by the artwork of the industry’s pioneers So don’t be a slouch, check out www.steenjones.com
