Shit outta luck!

Skate and destroy

My friend Elenia came in yesterday for a romantic and skateboarding-related piece. We chatted a little about that in the last month, and we finally agreed with the solution you can see below… and hey, she never complained: boys, take notice!

Next session we’ll be adding all the color.
Also, you can see her illustrations here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hell-enia/

Faster dragon kill kill

Despite of the huuuuuge amount of work we had to do here at home before we’ll finally turn all the walls from yellow to white, tonight I found a couple of free hours to paint a funny dragon design.

Uh and here’s some nice lettering motto as well.

Busy week about to begin!

The unfinished business

Just started a couple of pieces in the last days – well the first one began the past year to be honest, little by little we added other stuffs and we finally decided to add some background on the the top of that… it will take another session to get everything done at last.

Then there’s this small Virgin Mary I started on Charlie. After he almost got an traditional body suit he can’t stand the pain anymore, so it’s pretty funny to tattoo him since he doesn’t last more than fifteen minutes!

On the other side, this morning I took a pic of this healed script.

All for now!

Evergreen

Names of sons and daughters are a timeless classic, but it’s always fun to do them!

Cold sundays rock!

I’ve been thinking about this small Fred Marquand design for quite a long time – beside being so cool, I knew it would have made a nice postcard.
Today I finally found an empty hour and redrew it a little bit in front of a cup of peach-flavored tea. Yup.

Under the rain of tuscany

Just a couple of funny snapshots from the Florence Tattoo Convention last sunday…

You should know this guy, uh?
If you don’t, shame on you. (and bookmark el-rana.com)

Corrado, me and Marco Ruffa himself.
Crazy afternoon, man.

As you may notice, Corrado got some work done from Marco.

I’m very proud of these simple shots. Beside being a very polite and humble man, Herbert Hoffmann is a 90 years old living legend and he’s still travelling to conventions talking to everybody. He’s incredible and he spreads such an incredible energy.

You should know Luca Mamone and his machines, also.

Oh well, thanks Matteo for this clever face.

Time to go, Leo.

Simone packing everything.

As many people did, Manuela left Firenze with a nice tattoo from Stefano.

True love iz forever (session #1)

Started a nice piece on Claudia’s arm this afternoon.
Too bad she didn’t make until the end! We’ll be putting all the color next time.

Tomorrow I’ll be trippin’ with the whole Skin Fantasies crew to the Florence Convention – odd enough for a first time in a big city, I won’t see the city at all.

Scary friday

Pretty appropriate tattoo for a friday 13th, uh?
Tony found it quite painful at the end of the session – I told him it was my revenge for all the years he spent listening to Lagwagon.

Postcard time

Enjoyed some spare time in this warm and sunny morning, so I managed to get some postcard design going. Yup! One of these days you’ll see around as Skin Fantasies Tattoing advertising postcard.
