Hello.. dunno if I mentioned it before, but I'm on instagram.. @richphipson
Alot of these images are taken from there.. Got back recently from Beijing. Had an awesome time there getting more than my fair share of tradition. Was good to break it all with an awesome chinese hardcore show on one of our last nights there.

Tibetan Foo.

Beijing HXC "It Never Happened"

Had a no show which meant i got to do a frikken tiny little Angry Bird filla on DannyK. 

 progress.

 and today.


oh also, the title is an Angry Birds reference. Thats your reward for getting this far!

cyclops

It's 2020, by this stage the robot takeover lead by Siri is in full swing.

It is unknown whether their desire for reverting to classic projectile weapons is due to a malfunction, or an over development in the nostalgia chip in their systems.

Either way, athletic robots shooting down planes with flaming bow and arrows is just awesome.

All Seeing Owl VS Blou Lion of Judaaah!

Hello fellow Inter-weba-lebers! Firstly thankyou for visiting my blog, I never say thanks, but it's cos I don't think anyone actually reads this, but then when i see my stats im like, "eff"! 

Special thanks to the lands of Northern America and Australia, where i seem to recieve a whole wod of support. If you guys wanna get tattooed by me, the awesome Rossel and I will be traveling to SA in Jan and Aus in March, for some convention time. I know still a while till then but hey. 

Today the electricity was out at work because we pretty much dont care about anything except tattooing... hence anything that actually has to do with business gets done last minute.. this sucks when you have to get them to come put the electricity back on.. sigh, irrisponsible us. 

Anyway, that meant no work for me today, but i get to come home and do some design work that ive been putting off for a while now. 

Also in unrelated news, my wife and I start tracking next week for our album, so that's gonna be a whole lota funness... aaaand back to tattoos, here's two for you.

 

Zombie praying hands

Religion is dead.

Navy shark

The navy's in town, I got to do this rad gnarly shark... 

There's a twist though, with a curfew of 12am and the dude only pitching up 2 and half hours late for the appointment means i had to do my best with what we had, it's a massive side piece and he sat pretty well. 

This is 5hours worth, real stoked with how it came out. The photo doesn't show the colour, but you get the vibe...

HELI-GO!

Rossy tattooed a toy designer who brought loads of prezzies! Yeah, we opened this rad helicopter with a camera. and thought we'd do a tour of the shop!

Roch, taming the Bee-st!

 

Heart of Gold

Martin came back for another, getting a parrot chillin with some gold.

Not much else to say that anyone would care about, so here's the tattoo.

Air at War

Been working on these massive hybrid Aves/Mammalia on Alex for a bit now. It's a 'Rowl' and a 'Hobbylope' I guess.

Crash

Al came in again after getting this about 3 weeks ago, he leaves to head back to Aus on sunday. So we did this dude on him before he leaves. Was really really fun. Loved drawing this. 

Can't say for sure what's going on here, he looks worried and there's a bunch of nuts n bolts flying of in an explosion...

Churchill Tribute

Tattooed a friend and crazy WWII fan. Filmed it for fun too.

 

Lookey.

too tired to type. here's a picture.

Don't kill yourself. pls.

Tattooed Ian from HK band DIV again, this is what we did.. 

still got a couple more gaps in his sleeve to fill up.

You shoulda seen the other guy.

 

Guy came in wanting a similar design to something that Julia had drawn.

brutality.

dear danny

 

Deer skull on Dannys inner thigh. thats it.

Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.

 

Started on Ian's sleeve yesterday and really had to push myself toward keeping it simple. Had so much fun doing it. Still freak out that people want me to tattoo them. 

Thanks for reading, looking and especially those who get tattooed by me.

Eurasian Hobby

Did this Eurasian Hobby on the Eurasian Alex.

 

Busy working on an owl on his other knee leg, but just couldn't wait to share this.
