Bitches be hatin’

Apologies for the profanity in the title, but as you can see, it’s somewhat out of my hands.

I never thought I would like anything Jar Jar Binks related (unless it involved a gruesome death), but Paul Johnson really knocked this one out of the park.

Rebel scum

Rebel-alliance

KidKimura is off up north getting another tattoo by the talented Miss Kerry-Anne Richardson at Cock A Snook today. I am left jealous but excited for him as it will be the first Star Wars themed tattoo either of us have (the first of many no doubt).

Due to the design being a unique take on the Rebel Alliance logo (from what I understand), it is only fitting that I put KidKimura in the right frame of mind to be needle raped by sharing this video with you all.

Yes, you better believe your ears, that IS the Airwolf theme song. You are welcome.

“Star Boards” charity project

“Star Boards” charity project is probably one of the coolest ideas ever conceived.

Some of the best tattooers in the UK painting/customising skate board decks with Star Wars themed designs, which will then be auctioned off for charity at the Liverpool Tattoo Convention. Great idea right? I thought so. So did 70 artists from around the country, and they have been pulling out all the stops to make this something really special.

Check out some of these pics for examples of the pure awesomeness that these fine chaps have been creating. Look on the website and facebook page for further details, and if you want to have a chance to own one of these boards, check out the Liverpool Convention site.

Star Wars prints by Sway

A while ago we posted pictures of some flash sheets that Sway from Sacred Electric Tattoo had made featuring, quite frankly, some of the coolest Star Wars designs we’ve ever seen.

Sway being the dude that he is has now made some prints of these sheets, which he’s selling for the bargain price of £20 a sheet. These are A2 size limited sheets, and they are bound to go pretty quick, so pull your finger out and get on it now or you’ll miss out.

More Star Wars awesomeness

As you may have noticed, we are both pretty big Star Wars fans, and thus any tattoos containing Star Wars imagery are instantly super cool.

I saw this drawing on instagram, it is by the mega talented Pete Belson from Dragstrip Tattoos in Southampton. If you have an iPhone you should definitely download instagram, there’s loads of great artists on there. And of course, make sure you follow Pete.

I also thought I should share this little gem that Pete did. As well as colour realism he is well known for his miniature black and grey portraits, be sure to check them out.
