OK, so this is a few days late, really, but I just wanted to give a quick round-up of my recent trip to the UK.
I had the honour of playing the part of Best Man to my old roommate at his wedding in July (photo by Hubert Hung), so I hopped on a plane and made my way back to the motherland for a week.  This was a bit of a strange experience in itself, because I went without Beth and Addie.  One advantage of this, however, was that I was free to do a lot of work while I was there.

I was there for 7 days, and only took one day off.  I ended up doing some really interesting pieces, and tattooing some even more interesting people.  I finished off pieces that I started over a year ago, and started work on others.  I did everything from small bits of lettering to full colour sleeve work.  I'll be posting pictures on the gallery page when people send them to me.
I tattooed police officers, nightclub managers, Ultimate Frisbee Internationals and Illustrators.  I had a great time, to be honest.

The problem is, I came back more tired than when I left.  I'm taking another trip over in October, this time with Beth and Addie.  I'm not taking my stuff with me though - think it's time for a bit of a break.

Some really interesting pieces coming up before that though.  Expect another post in the next few days about my links with the Coptic tattoo tradition.  Exciting stuff!
