Ghost ship continued

Another session with the ghost ship. Definitely one of my most interesting projects right now.


I can't wait to do the background, which I think will put some real definition to it.

Tough guy

This tiger was finished in four sessions (twelve hours total). It's placed on his side and was his first tattoo ever. He didn't even blink.

Elbow rose.

Rose on Björn's elbow.

Nightmare before Christmas

Wholesleeve in progress on our webmaster Thomas, aka Bögiam aka Lillbögis. Consider him armed and dangerous.

Phoenix


Concept sketch (unfinished) and tattoo. Second session, all freehand, black & grey.

The good, the bad & the ugly

Sizzling hot piece of ink. Portraits of Marx, Engels and Lenin along with the flag of the lebanese communist party. The text reads "until the day we die".


One more session to go.

Lotus chest

On a girl known as "insjöbruden". One more session to go. I think it'll be fab!

Mujan

A good tattoo always looks like something you could buy in a candy-store.


I really like the sea-star, but it's a pity she wouldn't let me do a crab.

Space sleeve


Tobbes second sleeve. The soon-to-be-famous space-sleeve! (Danny the gimp in the background)

First session. Drawing for two and a half hours, then two for tattooing the lines. I think it'll turn out really cool.

Oh, did I say that I love tentacles?

Fafi half-sleeve

Based on works by french graffiti artist Fafi. Work in Progress. One or two sessions more, I think.

Surf half-sleeve update


So, today me and Patrik made a lot of progress on his surf half-sleeve. I finished 2/3 of the water and managed to get a picture of the shark, too.

Besides the rest of the water, there's an island on the back of his arm that needs to be done, as well as the flowers. Then the whole thing needs to be powerlined. I estimate that it'll be at least three more sessions .

I'm really happy with it, and very eager to finish it.

Update...

I've been working an awful lot the last few days. Started, and continued, a bunch of interesting projects. Pictures will be up as soon as possible.

Crazy sleeve

A really crazy, messy-looking sleeve I finished in August, I think. It's on a nice guy called Tobbe. It's got three-headed hellhounds (inspired by the song "two headed dog" by Roky Erickson), death-ray-shooting robots from space, ufo:s, a beheaded (but nontheless happy) rich guy, a four armed leopard-pinup girl on a pink cloud throwing lightning bolts and lots of other bizarre stuff.

We're starting his next project next monday. He wants some of space-sleeve and it will be all freehand. I'm very excited about it.

Ghost ship - nowhere bound

This is on local hardcore-kid Thomas. All freehand. We've done one sitting more since this photo was taken, so now it's got a bit of color too...

Note the danzig-styled skull and the scary tentacles. I love tentacles.

Forever love

I did this on my stepfather Lasse a couple of months ago, in honour of my mother. Now I'm waiting for her to let me do a "Lasse"-tattoo on her.

Usually I don't really like to do stuff like this since tattoos has a tendency to outlast love, but thev've been married for 21 years and are still a really cute couple, so this time I didn't hesitate a second.

Scanner

I ordered a new scanner today. As soon as it arrives and I get it up and running I will publish loads of sketches, drawings and all sorts of old junk here.

Dirty Bella's tiki-sleeve


Beautiful, hard hitting, rock-chick Isabelle's got this. Been working on it since August, and there's still a lot to be done...

The surf arm

Patrik's a really nice fellow, and we're working on a really interesting project right now. He wanted a 3/4-sleeve with a surf-related design. It's a lot of work left on it, but we've made some progress since this last picture.

On the inside there's a scary-looking shark and an island with palm trees.
