Once again, Yen amaze us with his interpretation of tribal, check it out, you will know what i mean, this is the second sitting for a full calf tribal tattoo and it looks good already. Believe it or not, no stencil was used. Pure imagination via the help of his trusty Sharpie markers.Symmetrical motif freehanded.

For those fans of piercing/ stretching/scalpelling, probably you can consider the following short"CUT" to stretch your current piercing. Baldwin Horikawa in action for the following pics.Enjoy the gush! Victor in the first series of pics went from nothing straight up to 13mm.

This cool dude got an oversize labret plug for his Xmas , no way to get it stretch to 11mm before Xmas, so scalpelling is the only alternative.Oh yeah, he left some blood on the floor of Gimme Love as his Xmas present..

Days in GimmeLove prove to be quite productive for Augustine Nezumi , other then tattooing his major big pieces oriental stuff(soon to be posted in the blog), he spend his remaining time drawing and painting...sorry, and watching corny dramas.The red oni are done using colour pencils, and water colours for the dragon fish.

viewing of works.

Due to my incompetency in blogging, I need some time to figure out how the gallery is going to work, so meanwhile, it will be possible to view our works by clicking on our pics on the right side of the page. Thanks guys!

Hola

The first few days of work was pretty good in Gimme Love. Everyone got their fair share of works. Apparantly everyone like the concept of the studio, and of course the welcoming ambience makes everyone feel comfortable. Photobucket
