Progress on one of my paintings

Progress shot on the 2m Jesus piece I'm busy painting.

Black and Grey monsters, Indians and some small stuff

It's been so crazy trying to get my paintings done and tattoo at the same time. These are some of the guys I've been busting out this week.

Finally finished the Nosferatu piece, arts are healed and some are fresh.
Started an Indian chest piece as well as a rad humming bird and carnations piece.
More progress shots in the coming weeks ..

Compassion

Cool concept, for a rad custom piece I did Last week. Birds have been some of my favorite subject matter of late. Super amped to finish the bird paintings Im currently working on and hopefully Cape Town will give me more birds to tattoo.

Weekend quickies

So started this rad rib piece over the week end. It will be full colour when it's done. Will probably need two more sessions.


Then I also did this small anchor and heart piece.
I'm currently building a portfolio which just consists of small custom pieces.. So if you have any rad ideas, then bring them down to Sins of Style.

Wu-Wednesday.

For those of you who don't know, every Wednesday down at Sins of Style,
we bump Wutang and some one gets a hand-poked Wutang tattoo.
Today I was next inline, instead I ended up doing this lettering piece on one of the dudes from Sellah.
Been doing work on a few of these guys and they've been touring for the past few months.
Check them out.. Big things coming from this crew.

Then it was time for a quick dragon fly cover up tattoo on a lil lady before she had to rush off to work.

Then the next day it was another member from the Sellah crew that wanted a 777 logo in a pyramid for a neck piece. We eventually came up with this...

Tattooing in Middle Earth

Photographs supplied by Karl Schoemaker and Donna Watson.
These were shot on my last trip to my home town Port Elizabeth.
We officially closed down Black Concepts and this was at the secret location where I am tattooing select clientele.
If your keen on getting some work then hit me up at my new home Sins Of Style in Cape Town.

To Middle Earth and back

So I've just returned from another trip to the hometown of Black Concepts. I spent most of my time fighting the flu, dodging crazy pigeons and topped off with some turbulence and landing gear problems. It's good to be back home and back in the studio.

Catching up...

So here's a collection of some of the work that's been keeping me busy the past few weeks. Promise to keep you up to date with the latest posts. You can also follow my progress on Instagram at BAKED_INK

Holione South Africa Cape Town

So it's been a while since my last post. It's just been crazy, with all the tattoos and new painting I'm working on. So today after work I took a stroll down to the parade to check out the Holi One festival. Was refreshing to get away from all the work and to catch some dope drum n bass from Niskerone and Mix n Blend.
