This tattoo makes me wish I could grow a big pair of mutton chops.

Everyone’s favourite uncle
It’s been quite a while since we posted anything by Uncle Allan, sorry guys!
Here’s a fairly new one, a kickass metal Viking skull dude. Enjoy!

UFC 146: FINISH HIM!
Due to the amount of finishes at UFC 146 Junior Dos Santos vs Frank Mir, TEN fights made it onto the PPV! The heavyweights proved they can entertain with highly technical fights mixed with raw power to create episodes of violence at its most horrifying degree. Bring on Cain Velasquez vs Junior Dos Santos two while we wait for Ubereem to return.

Cain Velasquez vs Bigfoot Silva
Our fellow brits Dan Hardy and Paul Sass picked up wins this weekend too. Hardy with a great first round KO and Sassangle continued his submission rampage through the lighweight division. The emotion Dan showed immediately after his win and humble attitude in the post fight interview goes to show how much his recent losses have changed him as a person and fighter. I hope that this is the start of a winning streak for him.
Dan Hardy vs Duane Ludwig
Unfortunately Mayhem lost his fight and will likely get cut from the UFC. Making this probably the first and last time you see a noogie in the octagon.
Mayhem Miller vs Poo lip
What a goon
Last weekend I attended the Northampton Tattoo Convention (I know that was over a week ago, but I’ve been mega busy), and finally got to meet one of the coolest realism artists in the country. We have featured a few tattoos in the past from Paul Johnson (including one on our friend Milky), and it’s a great to have an excuse to post another one of his tattoos.
This tattoo won “best small colour” on the Sunday at the convention. Although it’s a smaller convention, there were a pretty decent line up of artists in attendance. So a big well done to Paul, it’s definitely well deserved.

A bird with taste
I reckon the only reason birds don’t drink tea is that they can’t pick up the cups.

I pity the fool
This tattoo is so good that when I first saw it, I ducked to avoid the snickers bar.

The wizard king
Based on our posts you would be forgiven for thinking Simon Erl only does wizard tattoos, but he is SO FREAKING GOOD AT THEM!
I don’t actually know where Mr Erl is working currently, it all seems to be a bit of a mystery, but if you want work by him drop him an email.
The Reem – New episode: The good, the bad and the ugly
Alistair Overeem’s documentary series ‘The Reem’ has finally provided us with a new episode. I have been wondering how his team would represent him in this installment considering his place against Junior Dos Santos was removed following an elevated ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone.
This episode delves into his family life (his grandma and daughter are so cute), his training with the Blackzilians, some media work for UFC 146 and covers the events surrounding his failed drug test. After being fed speculations and incomplete facts about his situation, it is eye opening to see what really happened at his hearing with the NSAC and how unique a position he was in.

Holy Moses
It appears that it’s not just dogs that will bring a man his pipe and slippers. It does however seem that crabs can’t carry them all at once.
