NEW DESIGN

VOODOOCONVENTION: New Orleans 2010

We had a blast!
I'm in love with New Orleans!
Here is a tattoo I did on another tattoo artist at the convention:

Danny saw a sketch I had done.. and I drew this rose up to him...

I had a blast! So much fun to do...

I think it did hurt a litttle by looking at his face;)
See you next year Nola!

LOVE THE PROFESSION PART II

Finally got to put on some color in Candy girl's tattoo!

As I said earlier; she is a hair dresser and hair stylist... and one of my bestest friends...

Think you all should check out her blog!

FOR DOMINIK

Dominik! Here is your sketch!
Still some changes I need to do with it.. I added some horns on the cage just to give it a little personality, but Im gonna change them a little so they will grow out behind it instead...

I though about colors too;
Blood red roses, dark green leaves, a gold and old rusty cage, the harlekin clown in Orange/purple (and more details in the clothes/suit) just to make some contrast.
I think it would look wicked as hell!!!
The rest of the background we will do freehand so it will fit perfectly to your arm!

Hope you like it....

AT ARMS LENGTH

Finished the ten armed squid today!

I had so much fun!

 

I freehanded a ten armed squid on his arm..

3 sessions I think. So much fun to work on you, man... many nerdy conversations! haha..

Would love to do more freehand.. it really flows with the curves of the body...

So cool when people really trust you and make you do whatever yu want. Thnx!

BRINGER OF STORMS

Max Morbid from BREED and Hellish Outcast had an appointment today....

Straight from the airport and in to the studio to get his ribs done;

 

The whole piece is inspired by the work of Paul Romano, and is taken from two albums of the band Hate Eternal... 

Check it out on Paul Romano's page.... 

He has also done the art for Trivium, Mastodon and a whole lotta cool bands out there, and is amazing!

I think we started planning this one 2 years ago when I was very fresh... and I was stoked to finally start on it!! Thank you so much for the trust!

ALWAYS GOOD TIMES WITH YOU..

SUNDAY SESSIONS

I love working sundays! So quiet and relaxing... and I don't waste the day of just being home hangover or tired. haha..
So I started on Wiennas thigh... a big piece. She has been walking around with bloodlines there for a year now, waiting for the tattoo artist to come back and finish it, but now she asked me to finish it, and since it was only lines I said yes. A really fun picture... But I will wait to post it, because it doesn't look finished at all..

Wienna took a picture of me in the studio.. 

Yes Im a star wars nerd! haha

Anyways.. if anybody wants to get some work on sundays.. let me know.!

BACK TO THE DRAWING TABLE

Just a little taste of something that will may turn into something. So relaxing to draw and be creative again!!!!

ACID TRIP

Tattooed Kenneth AKA Slim today. Crazy eyes. Crazy skull...

LOVE THE PROFESSION

Did the outline on my Candy girl today..

She is a hair dresser, and she has been thinkin' about doing something that shows that for a long time, and since I didn't have any customers today, we found out to just do it!!!

It's gonna be fun to put in some nice colors in here!!! Hopefully in two weeks;)

CICADA

Did a lot on Sveinung's leg last time he was in the shop.. starting to look good!!!
Lot's of nice colors and BLACK!!!!

SOME UPDATES FROM OSLO ROCK CITY

So... drawing at 5 in the morning... not always the smartest thing to do... but sometimes I wake up and get really creative... This was the sketch for a Koi sleeve I had to do...

And this is the result from the first session... Next time we will shade in the background.. and then after that.. colors in the kois and flowers. So much fun!
Thnx for the trust... Can't wait to continue on this one!!!!

DAY 3 AT KARMA

Made a cool one on Marius. He is born as a Gemini.. so I made two twins.. haha... oh.. and one of them is tattooed with the Gemini sign on her arm.

He sat like a hero the whole session!

WORKING AT KARMA TATTOO THIS WEEK

KARMA TATTOO, HAUGESUND, NORWAY



This week I will work at Karma Tattoo in Haugesund.
Haugesund is where I grew up. A small town on the west coast of Norway.
I have to say... I think this is Norways most sexy studio.. haha... all black metal...
So relaxing listening to Windir while working...
The reason why I came here was because I allready have a lot of customers here, and since I allready knew the people there well, they let me work there. So much fun!




Yesterday I continued on a sleeve on my fellow dreadhead, Reidar.
We did a cover up with a koi some months ago in Oslo, but since its easier for him to travel to Haugesund, I did an Oni warrior this time. Still one more session to go.
Cant wait to put some color in there!



Today I made an awesome one on Hallvard, I allready did a lot on his arm.. Today we made an old school microphone and some roses.. fun stuff!
Hope to do more of stuff like this in the future!
He will be back on Friday to do the other side of the arm. He sat like a champ!

Tomorrow I will do a kick ass piece on a leg.
Updated will come!

Until then... Stay Grimm.

Soundtrack of the day; DEATH ANGEL- Devils incarnate

CHINESE SILK PART 3

Finally got done with Heges thigh and leg...
Looks awesome.. Will post a better picture when it is all healed up...

MERRY APOCALYPSE
