Check out Nicole’s blog at http://ashotaway.blogspot.com/ for some photos she took at Horiyoshi III studio!

Sydney based photographer and videographer Steve Guzman recently posted this video he directed from the first Melbourne Tattoo & Body Art Expo. Its an amazing edit that really captures the atmosphere that was around for the weekend. He managed to squeeze in some amazing work from the supremely talented Sam Clark, Steve Cross, and a really nice insight into Dr. Rev’s groundbreaking “straight from the vein” bloodpainting that caused a good stir. Check out the video below!

Recently Tattoos Downunder photographer Nicole Reed went to Japan for a week. Here are a few snaps. Check out her website and blog at www.ashotaway.com for more!

Ive been looking forward to this one. In the first installment of the Freddy Corbin series, we get familiar with Freddy’s tattoos as well as see his two Oakland tattoo parlors, Temple and Tattoo 13. Freddy’s style is further explained by his right hand man and fellow tattooer, Jason Mcafee. We also got a chance to speak with another Oakland legend, pro skater and chopper guy, Max Schaaf, about understanding Mr. Corbin’s coolness.

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!
