It has been awhile since we updated our blog here, most of the updates we do is on our facebook-page: TattooWorld Höör

Here comes a few updates on what we have been up to,

First off...some new prints that Elin has painted, if you want to buy those prints,

just call the shop, they are cheap, 400 Kr for a set of 5 A3! a bargain!

And also some tattoos that Elin has been working on,

And some really nice sketches for tattoos and ideas

Tony has been busy building a bike for a client, based on a Yamaha dragstar (v-star) Classic

and also been travelling to meet with some friends and family in China and Taiwan,

here comes a few photos of the bike and travels,

It started out like this

and went in this direction, until we changed our minds, 

..and did it like this, bobber style with apehangers.

The art of Ozuma Kaname

Ozuma Kaname was a painter/artist from Tokyo,Japan,

who worked closely with japanese tattoo-artists, creating

amazing pieces of art on silk!

As much as he was inspired by the art of japanese traditional tattooing, irezumi,

as much he also inspired tattoo-artists and his second book that came out in 1995,

was a true source of inspiration and reference.

We would like to show you some of his amazing works, all handpainted on silk

Enjoy

Old Japanese photos of irezumi

We thought we want to share some really cool old photos from Japan, early ca 1900-1930

The tattooartists are unknown and long gone, but the photos remains!

True piece of art and proud craftmanship, this is the real thing, uncut!

Enjoy!

I hope you all get inspired by these beautiful photos and can feel the pride, patience, dedication

 and amount of work that is behind creating these beautiful pieces,

Its a prefect example of that tattooing is NOT a fashion-thing, if we choose

designs and placement wisely, Go BIG is the keyword! 

  Enjoy!
