Actually, I totally forgot that I did this last week.

I promise to stop letting you guys down and actually paint something this week, even if it’s a 1930’s Bowery redraw.
So my two day guest spot that fully booked has now turned into, as of June the 1st, I will now be working full time at Physical Graffiti in Cardiff. A massive thank you to Chris and Chris for the opportunity to finally work in my home city. Email me for any appointments ashdaviestattoo@yahoo.com, this does not effect any of my other guest spots this summer. (Taken with instagram)
ASH IN CARDIFF!!! FUCK YEAH!!!
Me: How can I help man?
Idiot: I’d like a full bodysuit. Shoulders to feet.
Me: Awesome, that’s a big undertaking though.
Idiot: Yeah… Uh… How much?
Me: What? How much? You want a price for a FULL bodysuit?
Idiot: Yeah, how much for it. The whole thing.
Me: Seriously? Well… You’re talking probably 150 hours work man. So realistically between 5-7 grand.
Idiot: JESUS! Five Grand???
Me: Yeah, but possibly 7. Shit, maybe 10. You’re talking about a few years work here. What, did you think we’d charge you £40?
Idiot: Well the shop up the road (Which, is fucking TERRIBLE might I add) just quoted me a thousand.
Me: Well I suggest that you go back there then.
Nervous.
YEAH! FOLLOWERS OF THE BEAST!
Thanks to everyone for following. I appreciate all the love you show me. I know I haven’t submitted for a while but I promise to get back at it ASAP. Having a new girlfriend is more time consuming than I thought.
Shaun.
Anonymous asked: Is royal blood your tattoo shop and where are you based?
No, I called the blog Royal Blood after a tattoo that I have. I work at Skin Creation which is in Cardiff, Wales.
Drop by sometime.
Bring snacks.
Got asked to paint “the basicest rose humanly possible”.
I also managed to finish this sexy little number.
Two year anniversary at my friend’s studio.
Finished and on its way to Washington.
Anonymous asked: Hi. What's a sneaker weirdo?
Someone who has more sneakers than most people have ever owned in their entire life. A person who after wearing a pair, cleans them compulsively, replaces the card inserts and places them back in their original box.
I have genuine issues.
Anonymous asked: I wanna become a tattoo artist but all my drawings suck, how can i get better at old school flash tattoo art :(
If your drawings suck, you should work on improving your general drawing skills instead of concentrating on flash art. A tattoo artist should be able to do everything, not everyone will want clunky old flash pieces.
Then again, maybe this will…
This may very well happen today.
