The Evil Lure of the needle!


I've been contemplating getting into tattooing!
It's been on my mind for a long time...and I keep shrugging it off because I dont even have a feckin tattoo! I mean What kind of Tattoo Artist doesnt have a tattoo?!
Like I want one, just dont know what yet..and I want it to really mean something to me and I want to design it too. So when I figure all that out, then I'll get one.
But I just think I'd really Love to be a Tattoo Artist! It'd be sweet, Getting to draw all day and getting payed for it. And everyone'd think I was deadly :) ha ha, only jokin.
I could see myself being quite good at it though. Like I'd be able to do portrait tattoo's and all no bother I'd say. (once I did all the training and all of course.)
All these feckin Miami, LA and London Ink have me hooked!

But at the same time I'd say I'd be pissed off doin repetitive trend tattoo's. Like I wouldn't wanna do them on people if it was gonna be an obvious phase tattoo in a few years. Like the rose on the arm, or the dolphin on the belly everyone used to get to copy Mark Owen. Theres no way I'd want to be doin shit like that.
And I'm not into all the big skulls and tombstone biker type tattoos, wouldnt be interested in doin them at all!
I dunno..I'm just waffling now.
I've to design a tribal neck and shoulder tattoo for a friend, so we'll see how that goes. I'll prob post it up here if it's any good. I wish I could tattoo it on him! :)

Sidetrack Project...

I'd a few idea's for things I want to do and one of them was to make some clothes on zazzle!
I want to make a few with my paintings, photos etc on them, but I also saw a bit of a niche I might try tap into.. It's just a bit of an idea at the minute but we'll see what happens.

There's a lot more women going to see the matches these days, or at least to the pubs when the matches are on (the feckin hussies!)... and I think they could do with and would love to be able to buy some nice feminine Dublin supporting clothes to wear.
So I made this >> Up the Dubs!

My friend told me the seasons over till the Summer, God dam it!...but on the bright side that'll give me plenty of time to design up a load of really nice stuff by then :)
