Nearly there!

Ok peoples, I realise the new studio has been a LOOONNNNNNNNGGGGG time coming, but we are now about 3 to 4 weeks away from opening the doors to the public. The benches are in, the flooring is down, we are just co-ordinating tradesmen now to get it finished.

Clarity will sadly be leaving Tatudharma in October, to open a rather ambitious project with her partner - stay tuned to this space for more info. We wish her all the best in her new venture.

Taking her place (physically, not personally..) will be Rhys Gordon, formerly of Innervision Tattoo in Surry Hills. Rhys has been around for a while, and is doing some great solid work. We look forward to the new dynamic and having an artist with huge potential joining the crew.

Nathan and i will be working the convention in New Plymouth in November - the New Zealand Tattoo and Art Festival - it's looking like it's going to be an AMAZING show, with 150 artists confirmed, a LOT of really good tattooers. Flights are cheap, but if you are thinking of coming along, make sure you book accommodation VERY SOON because Jack Johnson is playing New Plymouth that same weekend, so it'll be busy. Nathan is close to being booked out, and I've only got a few spots left, so if you want to skip very long wait lists to get tattooed, get in touch soon.

The MORTE exhibtion will be opening on the 21st October in Darlinghurst, the address still to be announced. There's a lot of great tattooers and artists that are contributing, and most of it will be for sale on the opening night only, so make sure you mark that date! It's looking like being a very big event.

My apologies for not updating the blog more regularly, but being a father, a working artist, tattooist and running a business makes for very little admin time! Thanks for keeping in touch, I'll make a more concerted effort to post news and art here more often.
