Tattoo Tea Party round up

Here’s a little round up of some of the tattoos done at Tattoo Tea Party last weekend in Manchester. It looks like it was a great weekend, and I’ve heard nothing but great things about it, I’m absolutely gutted I missed it. I’m determined to make it next year!

Star Wars day at Jolie Rouge – THE VIDEO

So on Star Wars Day last month (May the 4th to the uninitiated), Jolie Rouge Tattoo in London dedicated a day of tattooing to the greatest movie franchise of all time.

It goes without saying that some amazing tattoos were made on this glorious occasion, but the fact that they even managed to get Claudia De Sabe to do one makes it that much more special. Anyway, watch the video, and cross your fingers that they do it again next year. If they do, I have promised myself that I will make it down for a new geekalicious tattoo.

Behind the needle

I saw the latest of these videos posted on TattooSnob the other day (awesome site, make sure you check it out) and felt I had to share it with you fine chaps.

These videos feature some amazing artists (one of which tattooed me earlier this year!) and a bit of insight into the work that they do and how they got started. They were filmed at the London Tattoo Convention, and were all made by Zeitgeist Magazine.
