Shooting in Vegas
Couple months ago I was working in Vegas with DTA, Franks Chop Shop, Black Scale, IMPRM and many others at MAGIC.
While I was over there photographer Andres Herren took some time out from his tour of California to come shoot me + Arabella Drummond for Jilted at The Luxor Hotel.
….Back out To California in Feb to meet up with everyone again.
….MAKING NEW WAVES!

London Tattoo Convention 2011
As funny as it may seem I don’t really do the whole ‘plastic tattoo convention’ thing especially in the UK but London and a couple others I make exceptions for!
A perfect chance to catch up with friends from around the world who I rarely get to see!
1st things 1st Friday morning I went to collect the 1st version of the Jilted Royalty ‘X’ Great Frog collaboration ring.
Got to the convention late so straight into my day sitting with Matt Difa for final session on Reptile Read ‘X’ Wolverine sleeve!
Me, Matt + Claudia had a laugh man!HAHA (….Every-time is story-time!)
Ring could be spotted a mile off, was getting asked about it all weekend!
SESSION OVER!
Time to go see the sights!
Quick shoot with Nathen Hicks
Shoot done! ….Time for a few mixed drinks!
Because I’m a twat an couldn’t be arsed to carry a camera I didnt take ANY pictures at the convention and ALL the pics on this blog are ones people have emailed me!
Gutted that i have non of the IN-BETWEEN times at the convention and who I was with which were the best parts of the whole weekend!
Jee Sayalero tattooed my hand around 3 years ago in Milan, we’ve planned a few times to touch it up but just never ended up being the rite time!

All in all a good weekend!
For good + bad reasons this weekend was a memorable experience for me that will be added to my mental log, just another entry to be inserted into Read’s diary of life!
Life is 1 big lesson, NEVER FORGET!
