Not so winter-ish, but a wonderland no less
Cats, cats, all about cats
As you may already know, Eckel isn't leaving Denmark after all!
At least not right now. I know, so confusing, but good news nonetheless.
And in very related news, it's Eckel booking time again, but things are gonna be a little different for new clients this time around, as Eckel has made a list of designs that he would like tattoo, and if you're a new client wanting to get tattooed by him, you should pick something from this list of ideas. Don't worry, they're all awesome!
If you already have a piece in progress by Eckel that you wanna continue, this obviously won't affect you at all.
Booking procedures have also changed a bit since last time and to keep things simple, we've decided that all bookings should go through one email instead of two, so from now on all booking will go though: grifzzfizz@gmail.com.
However, i will still answer any general questions and concerns you might have on the conspiracy mail after you've booked in with Eckel.
From Eckel's blog:
"and here we go again.
as i said a few days ago(read post below for further information)here is a list of ideas that i would like to do:
small,one session pieces:
-small animals with wings(such as:cats,rabbits,mice/rats,frogs...)
-black cockatoo
-a worker bee carrying a factory
-bird getting its wing cut off with a scissor
-girl face with ONE eye(as in cyclops)
-zebra head
-a guillotine
-stagbeetle with a castle for a head
-frog on a girlshand
-an old,ugly witch
-girl wearing a burkha(ideal for cover-ups,and i am not even kidding,see painting above*)
bigger projects(such as sleeves/ribs/chests and stomachs)
-girl riding a polarbear
-a black and a white cat
-hammerhead shark head with a deer's body
-a rat king(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king_(folklore))
-bird with a surveillance camera for a head
-crazy cat lady
-the young woman and the death(as in grim reaper)
-a hornbill
big projects(backs)
-a raging or dying horse
-large bird of prey with dead rabbit or smaller bird
-womans face with fancy hair and jewellery
-a sphinx(as in the egyptian woman with a lions body)
-a harpy(as in bird with woman's head)
-cat and bird/cat fighting cat/whatever CATS
the ideas and placements do not have to be combined in the way listed above,although some ideas categorized for big placements might be difficult to do on smaller areas.
note that the suggestions on this list are the only new projects and clients i will take on in this period of booking.
other than these i will just carry on with projects that have already been started.
in case you are interested to book appointments with me as a new client,i need all your contact info,even though i prefer communicating via email.pick one of the ideas from above for whatever placement,and a variety of dates that work for you if you have to travel to have an appointment with me.in case you want to get most of your travel,i have done two sittings on following days with a few customers in the past,and it works great that way as well if the piece allows working on different areas. in case you are up for a torture like that, let me know about it in your email as well.
that should be it.
thank you"

So there you have it, now go book!
Balloon-moth-thingie
You know how i always let you know well in advance when we have a guest artist coming so you have a chance to book in with them?
Yeah, sometimes i don't do that.
I already knew a while back that our friend Sarah B. Bolen, who lives in Berlin, was coming for a visit and we'd arranged for her to work at the shop for a few days, but since she'd already booked her weekend a good while back, i didn't wanna post about it here and make it seem like she had time for more tattoos.
And now i feel bad!
But she's already making plans to come back soon, and i promise i'll let you know when she does.
All official like and everything.
This is what Sarah did today
If you wanna see what she worked on in this goofy picture, you should look her up on instagram (@eraserbits)
And speaking of everyones favorite app obsession; Allan tattooed Sarah yesterday and both their pictures went popular at the same time... what a bunch of nerds!
Coming soon: a screen printing update!
That there church, that there church is on fire
Oh look, a tattoo!
That is all, i just wanted to show you that they still happen around here, and that i'm occasionally lucky enough to capture one on my phone.
This one is on Martin.
Don't worry, he asked for it.*

*If you're one of those people who feel the need to include "no satanic stuff" in your email when requesting an appointment with Allan, that one was for you.
Information

Thanks for everytime see my blog.

The random friday post
It's been a while since i've remembered to sneak a photo of a finished tattoo. Allan usually posts his on instagram right away, and Eckel has people out the door before i can say "excuse me".*
So here, this is as close as it's gonna get today: a picture of Allan's line drawing.
I know, lame, but at least they didn't finish, so maybe i'll get an actual tattoo picture next time?
We're pretty stoked to be back from our staycation and to be at the shop on a regular basis again.
We love our shop all the time, but autumn at the shop is especially cozy, and even more so now that the heaters in the shop work!
(Seriously, remember last year? That wasn't pretty...)
Besides (hopefully) tattoo pictures, i'll be posting pictures of our finished photo lab soon!
Yes, it's finished and i'm now working on getting the other back room ready for screen printing.
It's gonna be a cold winter i think, but at least we'll have lots of fun projects to start!

Dias de los muertos goodness
Also coming soon, a post with some practical information regarding booking and travels and boring shit like that!
*Not cause he's mean, it's just the good old German efficiency thing.
Prepare to be SPOOKED!
I was just about to give myself a hard time for not having had the time to take more pictures on Saturday, but now that i'm uploading the ones i did take, i'm almost glad i didn't!
I'm not gonna get too much into details about Halloween Walk-in Day, cause if you wanted to know, well, then you could have just dropped by, couldn't you?
But i will say that we me, Allan, Chriss and our guests had a wonderful day.
The shop looked awesome, pretty much everyone who came were dressed up in great costumes, we ate a ton of snacks, the mood was nice and relaxing, and everyone who wanted to get tattooed got tattooed.*
But if you missed it, don't worry; this will definitely not be our last Halloween event.
Whoa, that turned out to be quite the giant post after all!
See you again for more spookiness next year, i hope!
*Except yours truly, but really, who's surprised?

Undead cheerleaders needs tattoos too
As do cockroaches and elephants (although they came a bit late, so they got theirs on Monday)
Wookie didn't think he was getting tattooed, so it's good that he brought an evil nurse for moral support

By Chriss Dettmer on Wookie
Christel's amazing pumpkin muffins

And a second one for Martin; Helle makes sure he isn't too exhausted from that first one
Eeeevil clementines
A close-up of my last minute horns... not too bad, right?
Lucifer was dressed up too (but only for a little while and mostly so my parents, who aren't pictured cause they weren't in costume, could see him)
Wednesday Addams and her sailor (lifted from Martin's instagram)
The Creepy Conspiracy Crew (also lifted from Martin's instagram)
Halloween flowers from my parents
The tattoos Allan did on Saturday and Monday (click image for a bigger view)
