The Lab Monkey Tattoo crew from Stirling in Scotland.
Beautiful collections with, among others, Thomas Hooper, Steve Byrne, Chad Koeplinger, Antony Dickinson… hmm, these names sound vaguely familiar…

took a ton of photos at the convention so I guess i will be posting a lot of these in the next weeks
don’t wanna overflow y’all init?

the event was wicked tho
the tobacco dock is a beautiful venue
big up to miki vialetto, it certainly wasn’t a safe bet to move out of bricklane and the truman brewery.

and i guess, today’s drink was Pear Cider. Something like a melt candy on the rocks.

Suicide / Diamonds, Fur Coat, Champagne

an other beautiful collection on SB contributor Naomi.

“look the fetus goes into the coffin when I close my arm”
…hmmy. yes it does

also including the best cover up i’ve ever seen (church yard)
(making fergus’ wild 15 magnum cover-up second…)

By the way, today I listened to “a strange day” by The Cure, something like 35 times. I strongly recommend you don’t sleep on this tune. (between me and you)

sorry, just can’t help myself…
