A week of japanese tattooing!!

Ok, so last week was pretty busy...started a new backpiece, tattooed Javi at the shop that sat like a trooper for almost 4 hours to get his knee tattooed, finished the hinari tattoo and Gary's tiger (thanx man ;) ) and had a quick escape to Amsterdam...it was amazing, everytime i come back from that place i feel soo inspired....so, i'm back to the drawing board!

I want to remind you all that on Friday there will be the opening of the "Idol Hours" Exibition at the London Miles Gallery, it will be an amazing exhibition, more then 40 artists and dj will be playing on the evening too....please come all along, no invitation required....have a peep at their website www.londonmiles.com

Tattoo artist out now

Here is my painting on the front cover of TATTOO ARTISTS 2010, the first issue of the yearbook realized by Tattoo Life magazine......it's for free with the last issue of tattoo life..... go and buy it!!

I also have some superfancy prints of it!
They are 342 x 438 mm big, Glicee' print on Somerset Velvet 255 gsm paper...the print is amazing and fades flawlessly into the paper like it was actually painted on it. I'm very pleased with them! For once! it's so hard to have good prints and it's such a shame considering the time i spend to paint all the details and that!!
The prints are 50£ each and the inks used are archival quality, so they won't fade or lose detail.
to buy please get in touch with me

Updates!

well lots happened in the last month...London Tattoo Convention, Made in Britain exhibition.....working and painting....photoshoots.....NEW TSHIRTS...more working and painting! i will be uploading bits in the next couple of days and set something up to buy tshirts online and new prints will also be available...they will be proper posh!

I just wanna take a minute to say thank you to all of you guys for supporting, for buying my tshirts, for coming back and getting more fun tattoos done and for showing always interest on what i'm doing.
In last couple of years i went through some pretty dark times finding myself to hate all about the industry. When i read 5 years ago Chris Cohnn myspace profile saying he quit tattooing because of it, i just couldnt believe it.
I went to my first convention when i was 15. I sacrificed a lot to do what i'm doing now and it all went ruined in such a short period of time that i was left with not even the time to understand what was happening. I'm a passionate person and i take everything at heart and doing so I found myself heartbroken. But in the last year i really changed a lot on my whole approach to tattooing and i became really private about it. I'm kinda trying to explain why i dont post things every night in either here or facebook or myspace or twitter or the next whatever! I just put a really small amount out there nowadays and everything became fun again!! It's too upsetting seeing people rapeing my designs or ideas or details and making money on top of it too!!

Enough blah blahs and here's some pics!

thats one of the reason for slacking on the uploads and also a sort of physical rejection to the internet and the whole networking thing had a major part on my absence!!!

out and about

well, i havent upload nothing in the last month cause i have been travelling quite a bit and spent little time in london....i was in italy, london and amsterdam all in one week.....pretty crazy and way too much time in airports i tell ya!!! but all for a very good cause...bit of working, bit of holiday and especially, having the chance to take part to a super nice exibition in Italy organized by the bad ass INFART COLLECTIVE at the ORTOBOTANIX.

owl and hawk for my 30th

It was my 30th birthday so my lovely boyfriend took me for a super nice weekend in the middle of the country side and we had a bit of raptor encounter....it was amazing...i wanted to do falconery for soooo long and finally i had it!!! hawks are beautiful and clever and fun to watch...owls are thick as fuck apparently, and they sleep all the time...not too much fun, but pretty!!i wanted to take all the birds at home apart for the eagle.....soooo big it could have eaten a child in one go, and thinking about it now, it would have been useful to get rid of some of those skanky Cally kids...but never mind!
thats it...i want a hawk.

its all about birds.....and some more london-ness

here's a couple of tattoos i did recently....st.paul's cathedral and a crow and compass flowers...it was fun!some more to come soon....wish u all a good week end...i'm off to the country side to make some birds fly.....bit of falconry and medieval looking castles!!

From Painting to Tattoo....

I finally finished this piece on lovely Alaina, she liked one of my painting and with some adjustments and changes here's what came out.....

Sunday tattooing

Sometimes in a while i tattoo on my day off....this is on an amazing customers of mine....she asked for a Metropolis tattoo but, because all i did on her is traditional looking, she asked to have it a bit more pin up and a bit less stiff....that's what she got!

Back to the web

Hello everybody
i'm new to the blogging universe, so probably my next few posts will be a bit messed up and i apologized for that in advance. The reason why i choose to start a blog is to share with everybody what i am doing,and what i am part of at the moment, so you will probably see and read about some of the great people and artist that i'm surrounded by every day. I hope you will check my page oftenly and keep updated with what's going on here in north London. I will post weekly pictures of tattoos, painting, sketches or whatever i feel to show you all!
hope you will enjoy it
sincerly Claudia.
