Well last week was a tough week. I think working 7 days a week for the past 5 months is finally taking a toll on us!! Also I just have to ask if people can be so kind as to be patient with us at the moment. Matt is under a lot of pressure to get work finished (as much as he can) before we go away. So we do apolgise to those people who have called recently to try and get in before we go and we haven't been able to help. Matt very much wants to get any work he has started finished but he is only one person and is booked out well in advance these days. Thanks so much to those people who have been really understanding about this and we will get to you as soon as it is physically possible.

But anyway it's ok, things are looking up!! Japan in 1 week and 6 days- yesery- it is finally upon us!!

We had a "photo day" on Saturday, thanks to all those people that took the time to come down! So we took some photo's of some of Matt's latest stuff, it's all pretty much been posted on facebook and myspace, so check them out. And I may as well post a few here:

Also Matt finished the big phoenix side piece he was doing on Jess. Big thanks to Jess for being such a great client of ours and for toughing that side piece out like a true champ- your one tough cookie!! Also thanks for the wonderful thoughtful gift. Note to other customers- gifts are always very well received here :P Anyways here is some pics of that one:

So that's about it for this installment. Take care everyone, have a great week, we will!

oh and.....

WE WOULD LIKE TO ALSO REITERATE THAT WE DO NOT TATTOO ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES- NOT EVEN WITH PARENTAL CONSENT!! We just need to put that out there in the universe. Please wait till you are 18 to get a tattoo. Thanks for listening!
