Over the Christmas period we will be open up to and including Thursday 22nd, and then we will reopen on 28/29/30, closed again for the New Year and back to normal from the 3rd.

Joe

This is the start of a butterfly, rose and wave sleeve I've got on the go. Going to end up really bold and colourful

This was a last minute design I drew up for Stacey, I love doing women's faces so this was a real treat

This was a great walk in to do, quickly drew up a pocket watch with the date and initials and finished it in black & grey

And I got to finish off Tom's owl when I got back from the States, the bottom half is fresh and the top is healed up

Thank-you to everyone who came to the birthday party last week, We had a great time and the Performers and DJ were awesome. Looking forward to next year now, and for all of you who missed out...

Hi to Andy

We've been busy recently with decorating the studio and preparing for the party on Friday. Eva started out at her new studio last week (www.inksanetattooparlour.co.uk).
We'd like to welcome Andy to the shop, He's been tattooing for a long time now and he's worked in Wembley, South Harrow and most recently Watford, so he's familiar with the area. He's starting this Friday the 2nd, and will be here every week from Weds-Sat. Here's some of his work, and any idea you have he'll be able to help design something amazing for you.

If you want to book in with him then just give us a call at the studio and we'll sort it all out, or just come drop by. See you all at the party on Friday!

Bad News

Sorry to say that I'm back! I've been told there's been a few calls for me so if you're looking to continue work I'm here and ready, so get in touch. It's been a hectic couple of weeks but it's great to be home.

Some more bad news is that Eva will be moving on at the end of the month, so anyone looking to book in with her, her last day will be Thursday 24/11. She's moving to Greenford and we'll have more details in the coming week.

On a cheerier note, our 2nd Birthday Party is in less than a month's time on Friday 2nd December. We have a Badass DJ booked, a raffle to give away tattoo vouchers and lots more. If you want to help us celebrate then email getmein@accomplicetattoo.co.uk and you'll be added to the guestlist. There's no door charge and I'm going to look into getting some drink deals to get things merry!
It will be held at Trinity bar 378-380 Station Road, Harrow, HA1 2DE and will be from 8 - 11, and then the regular Trinity club night will carry on if you want to carry on as well!

Goodbye until November!

I'm going to be off on Tuesday until 10th November (but Jo and Eva will still be here), so before I leave, here's some things we've been tattooing recently.
Also, I'd like to thank everyone who got a RNLI tattoo, we managed to raise £100 for the charity and bang out a few nifty tattoos, so thanks for getting them done!

Joe

Finished Mauro's other half Sleeve, (he has this dragon koi on his right arm), well, it's almost finished, we still have the inside to do but it's good to get the dragon completed!

Had lots of fun tattooing this on Adrian, we're almost finished with this sleeve as well and should hopefully get it done on Monday.

Always good to tattoo a skull!

Hayden's first tattoo was definitely a brave start! Nice to do something a little different to what I usually do.

Last couple days of our RNLI offer!

So far we've raised £100 for The RNLI, enough for a first aid kit bag! A few more Tattoos and it'll be enough for a safety helmet. Please help out a charity that saves lives and get a tattoo done before the end of friday! And please share this with your friends!

Lifeboat Tattoos

Until October 15 I'm going to be doing some small tattoos for RNLI, they cost £25 and £20 will go towards the charity. So come get a nautical tattoo and help a good cause at the same time!

We've been pretty busy recently working on a lot of big pieces. Here are a couple of photos of the smaller stuff we've been doing.

Joe

Had a nice traditional pocket watch to do yesterday.

Chris got this tattooed horse head for his birthday and we're going to be adding a couple more horses and some roses to make a whole side piece. The lucky guy's in for a lot of fun with this one.

September

We've been very busy recently, mostly with ongoing pieces and neither Eva nor myself have really taken photos of pieces in progress, just waiting to post the finished article. Here's some of the stuff we have taken photos of:

Joe

A little cover up on Anna, a nice quick fun one

Managed to do this in a few hours on Jason's arm. We're going to add some doves in a couple weeks and finish off the background.

Sail ship on Sean, Going to add red to the rose and then add some more bits to complete a full sleeve, I love doing this kind of work

Heart locket and Key on Wendy, this is a healed photo and I'm really happy with the way it's turned out

Eva and I have been treated to some really nice pieces recently, we're both lucky to have customers who give us an idea and free skin to go to town with, and it's great to get some big pieces finished and looking better than we planned.

Joe

I managed to finish off Anthony's leg today and get a picture of the finished product.

This was a great walk-in piece on Saturday and very fun to do, F.T.W.

Zepplin art work, because they're the best band ever I'm told.

And some Boog flash finished, the top half's healed up, bottom's still red and fresh.

Busy times

Been a bit busy recently and haven't had much time to update, but here's some of what we've been doing!

Start of a dragon half sleeve, a lot more work to do but it'll end up claret and blue as Mark's a big Hammers fan for some reason

A nice dagger on Chris, fun to keep it simple and traditional

Finally got a healed picture of Dean's half sleeve

A key for Kay, really enjoyed doing this kind a black and grey work

Rose Cover up

Black and grey Swallow, lots of great traditional stuff to do

Another japanese piece as well, looking forward to putting some bright colours in this one

State of the Art 2011

Such a great weekend, had great fun and met some great people. Just can't wait to work the next one now! Want to tell everyone to check out:
http://www.tattoohq.co.uk/ - Chris and Brenden did some stunning work over the weekend and were really friendly guys.

http://www.facebook.com/Diamondinkts - Faye was working next to us and helped us out loads. She started and Finished a cowgirl pin up over the convention that ended up looking sweet. I also got to do a little tattoo on Elsa the piercer there, great studio up in Sheffield.

http://www.twistedinktattoo.co.uk/ - We met Chardaine, Jamma Dodger and Jack at the pre show party and was great to talk tattoos to. They did some big work over the weekend and there's a lot of good stuff to look at on the website.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=196217949072 - I tattooed Adam and his apprentice Kelly with a couple of small tattoos. Another great studio who were set up along our row. Adam did some really nice fun tattoos, and it was a great way to end by tattooing him.

Everyone we met were a pleasure to talk to, from other tattooists to customers to people just stopping by, was a really friendly atmosphere which carried on throughout the weekend.

Unfortunately we didn't take a picture of every tattoo we did but here's a couple

Jo's Pin up

Wu Tang Hand

We have more photos of the Facebook page so join up and have a look

Summer piercing deal!

So along with out Facebook fan page deal, our local friendly piercer Alice is offering a loyalty card scheme with piercings. It is usually get 4 and have the 5th for free, but until the end of August she is offering every third piercing for free! You can share the card with your friends, or keep it all to yourself, but pay for 2 piercings and get number 3 for nothing. Just phone up the shop to see when she's in and then come pick up your loyalty card.

Eva has also started her own blog so for just her work, have a look at http://evatattoo.blog.com/

And just a reminder, next weekend we will be working at the State of the Art convention in Derby, and unfortunately we will be shut on Friday and on the Saturday.

And here's what we've been up to in the shop;

This is the start of a half sleeve designed by Jo, there's going to be some clouds and heavenly gates added to it along with some doves.

Managed to finish Christian's Rose, and will get started on the next one soon. Only managed to get a camera phone picture, sorry for the quality.

And I got to start off the week with this drag queen pin up on Teagan. Going to put colour in it later on and we're getting started on another on the other foot on thursday.

Gift Cards, Twitter and Tumblr!

So today we got some brand new gift cards in, they look super sexy and would make a great gift for anyone who's a tattoo lover, or even someone who's always ummed and ahhed about getting one and just needs that last little push!

These are available to buy now and can be used either for tattoos or piercings.

If you're up on twitter, Jo is posting a lot on there now with what we're up to at the shop and putting up some tattoos here and there, so go have a look @AccTattoo and I'm sure you'll find some "interesting" tweets on there.

And I have my own blog now on Tumblr, at thegentlemantattooist.tumblr.com. I'll still be posting work on here but as Eva and I will both be posting on here it could get a little confusing, so this will be just my stuff, and when Eva sets up her own page I'll post a link on here as well.

And lastly some tattoos!

This is the second session on Anthony's leg, might squeeze another quick session in before Derby but if not we'll have a nice long session and get it finished there, as long as he's a brave boy!

Started this Boog piece last night, should finish it in the next few weeks.

This is a pin up drawn up by Jo, it's similar to the one we have outside the shop but with just a few changes to it. Looks really nice in flesh and we might put some shade in it, but I think it looks like a good piece as just line work.

Show some love!

By joining the Accomplice Tattoo Fan Page and get included on some special offers this summer!

Big pieces in the pipeline

If you're viewing this on your Mobile then hopefully you're finding the new layout a big improvement! It's a bit more organised and easier to navigate.
At the shop we've had a few big pieces started/ in progress recently and just wanted to share them as I've not been able to post any small ones recently! We're also about a month away from the State Of The Art convention and we're getting all geared up for it, just writing down lists of what we need and getting some tattoos lined up to do on the weekend.

I've had this Koi piece drawn up for over a year now and Anthony's finally decided to get it done. We've got another session to do at the studio and then we're hoping to finish it off at the convention, so it will definitely keep me busy for a little while!

This rose on Christian is the start of a half sleeve. I love doing roses and doing them this size is a really fun project. Got 3 more to put on after this one and then filling the background with leaves and some script.

Mauro's come back for another half sleeve (he had the dragon koi with samurai mask put on his other arm), this time for a dragon. We've had a few sittings with this and I wanted to post an in progress picture to show how it's getting along. It's going to be very bright when it's finished and should fit in very well with his right arm.
