poison apple at the lethbridge tattoo convention

this past weekend was the windy city tattoo weekend in lethbridge. X, Derek, and I decided it would be a super fun day trip and maybe we would get some pictures of some really nice tattoos.....ok well we did find a hot tub show next door to the tattoo convention so here are some pictures of some really nice hot tubs.

Summer is here......

.....and we dont have an air conditioner yet! anyone who has ever been tattooed knows that not only does it suck to sit for 5+ hours, but as ryan has just learned its 100 times worse when you are getting you ditch colored in solid red and its almost 30 degrees in the shop. just look at that picture, doesnt that look like a nice way to spend a hot summer day.

monaz out

Liams last day is this friday. i personally wont miss him, but becka for whatever reason is all upset about it. i guess it was an alright time having him around and who knows maybe he will be back in the fall (if octoberfest and/or vegas doesnt kill him first). maybe now that i think about it, i will miss him cause now who am i going to rip on for being an aussi. that being said, if there is any aussi's out there that want to come and hang out at the shop and let me and becka make fun of you for who you are, feel free to come and hang out with us. anyway here are a couple neat tattoos that liam did while here in ferine.

happy zombie jesus day!

so i dropped the ball and missed zombie jesus day last sunday. here is a tattoo of a zombie chef

becka did back in january. this guy is just hangin out makin some BLT's for his sick zombie party he's having.

"...and there is no one to stop us!"

does anyone remember the monster squad?!?! the 80's spawned a countless number of fuckin rad things (i.e. Michael Jackson, top gun, pac-man, me, etc). if you have never seen the monster squad, well first off get a fuckin life, but its basically a movie about every rad monster than has ever been thought of getting together and trying to fuck the world. this tattoo of Frankenstein is one part of what is going to be a monster squad sleeve. its been in the works for well over a year (slightly due to lack of motivation from derek's fat ass) but its likely going to be done sometime in the next couple months. check back to see the whole thing once its put together!

FAST FACT!
did you know that uncle rico from napoleon dynamite (Jon Gries) plays the werewolf in the monster squad and fright night part 2.
