This Just In: Kiwi Tattoos Well, Still a Dirtbag...

One of New Zealand's finest sons (which isn't saying much) has, against all odds, become a competent, if not amazing tattooer.  I found this photo in my camera and figured I would post it here because it makes my blog look a little nicer.

So if you're in Sacramento and you're sick of waiting for me to drag my lazy ass up there, you should give Steve a call, especially if you want any realistic portraiture or horror related imagery.  Let's face it, he's better than I am and less of a jerk.  One word of caution, you'll have to endure his stupid accent for the entire tattoo.  He's good at following instructions, though.  So a simple "Shut up mate, g'day!" should do the trick.  His website is voodootaddoo.com and his email is tat2shippey@gmail.com.

And here are a couple other tattoos that he won fancy awards for...

I haven't updated in a while.  So just a few pictures I found in my camera that I don't think have seen the light of day.  Other than the daily proclamations of my own awesomeness, I don't pat myself on the back too often.  But today, I'm going to take a break from my almost pathological modesty and point out what an amazing job I did on the matte for that chihuahua painting.  The matte is definitely the best thing out of all the stuff presented here today.  Well, maybe second best.  Ikea made the picture frame.
