TAKING A LITTLE BREAK

Right now I am chilling in Haugesund with my family.

I will be back in Oslo at Wednesday..  

Bookings will still happen at ancientskintattoo@gmail.com

SQUUUIIIID!

Continued on the sea sleeve on Lina that I started on when I was an apprentice... Finally we had the time to do some more to it! So we added a squid and two jelly fishes. 

Very fun! 

I MISS YOU MY LITTLE DEMON.

It was a night of Terror. My lovely little cat got sick, only 3 years old.

I miss you, and hope I see you again.

Rest In Peace, little Pirate.

SECOUND AND LAST SESSION ON ANNE

Finally done with Anne's thigh.

So much fun to work with these colors... so feminine, and with the placement, it looks very classy.

The plan is to make a pin up on her sister too;)

FREEHAND SLEEVE ON TERJE

SOME OF MY WORK

Streamed from http://www.bodymod.org;

pretty much the best tattoo/piercing and bodymod society on the net!

WIENNAS BIRTHDAY BASH

Corpse Bride is always a favorite;)

It was Wiennas birthday, and what is a better present than continue on the sleeve I started on a long time ago?

Starting to look a lot better now!

Hopefully only one or two sessions left and you are filled up, babe!

JAPANESE LEG SLEEVE ON GEGGI: First session

Finally some big japanese to do!

This is my favorite style of tattooing. I just love the flow and all the images and designs you can use in it....

Geggi wanted a japanese leg sleeve, so I made a rough scetch.. and we managed to line it all up and do some shadowing in the first session. Can't wait to continue on this one!

DOING SOME OLD SCHOOL

Not everyday I am allowed to do some really cool old school.. but this was fun!

The blue flowers and notes are not by me.. she wanted something more. So I added a rose and an old school mic... fixed some of the lines and made some of the flowers look a little "dead". (added some brown).

I would love to do more of this stuff! Bold, solid lines and dark colors are a lot of fun... 

CHINESE SILK PRINT

Hege had her birth sign and birth date on her leg from before, and basically wanted to build on it. I was wearing a chinese silk night gown the other night, and got very inspired by the pattern on it... so since she trusted me 100%, I tried to make something similar.

I love how the white lines just really makes this flow with the skin..

Was so much fun to do!!!

FETUS SKULLS AND ROSES ON MALENE

So stoked on doing this sleeve. Malene wanted me to do whatever I wanted.. so we started on a sleeve with roses and fetus skulls.. 

As some may know.. I am obsessed with these little things.. they are so cute, but still grotesque!

Hope you like it. Cant wait to continue!

BOOKINGS

I will only take bookings by e-mail now!

THE WORLD HAS LOST AN AMAZING ARTIST

 

The news shocked me. The tattoo scene has lost an amazing artist. He was a good friend. A person who supported me through the hard times and told me to never give up. A person who could call me just to ask if I was doing fine. 

You thought me so much about tattooing and the business. Full of life and funny jokes. 

I already miss you, and I can't believe its true 

Without you, I would not have beene here. And I would never had come this far. I am so thankful for all our conversations. All the laughter, the jokes... 

You were a big inspiration to all of us. 

Rest in Peace, Morten Enger. 

You will always be in my heart and my skin. 

You taught me the most importent things in life;
