fall

hello,

i didn't take the time to think much about my blog sadly, so there's not much i want to say this time. November is almost over, and the cold winter can be a little bit depressing sometimes...

Fortunately some great projects are on the way, and this really makes me happy.
every here and then, some client comes in the shop with a new idea, an open mind...
 a person that is ready to accept discussion and creation of a new tattoo, as a true collaboration between the client and the artist.

sometimes, when the initial idea is not enough, or too much element, or for any reason not working right, then it's just necessary to make it work out. so we talk and talk... and draw...

and, well, this is what happened with the project below! happy week everyone!

more tattoos

...because last time there was more about frank, so this time i can put more of my stuff on the table.

oh yesterday my wife and i have gone to a cool concert, so we had our fun out of work too.

i am really happy about how this week ended!

melanie's first tattoo, final session, tadam!

joy division tribute, done...

back in Geneva

Hello to all,

it's been two weeks now since we have returned to our home city, and back to work.
Those 3 weeks of holiday were a great relief, i loved so many things in Montreal, Canada!

We WILL go again, that's for sure, i will miss it so much...

I'll post another topic talking only about the trip soon, but this ones about things happened in Geneva.

Last friday, Innina and me organized a "vernissage" with our friend Franck that's all arts!
We are now hosting his wonderful works, in our shop, and exposing for him some of his unique work!

Here are some of his creations, i took pictures of some of the frames in the shop, it's just for you to have an idea... you can reserve it in our shop, or online on his website here. If you have any question, about international orders or for custom demand, you can contact him here.

Also, we started to get into taxidermy to decorate our shop and that special evening, we received just so much stuff!!! so there's pictures of that too. Thank you Franck, Jerome et Phil!

...oh, and a couple tattoos, too.

some script, big'n'clean

And now, some of Francky's stuff!

Turning on 32

Today is my birthday, one more of many (well 32 is more than I expected a while ago)
...I'm still on holiday with my wife in Canada, I love this country and I definitely would like to come more often!
I have a few phone shots that I can share with you, so here it comes.

Montréal

Hello hello!

We have been in Montreal for one week already, and it feels great. I did work a little extra the past two weeks,and that DID make me a horrible person at work sometimes...
All my apologies, I guess I'm not a person that can handle stress very well. But my wife convinced me to manage this break, and I have to admit we really enjoy it!
We have also seen a bit of the Montreal tattoo convention, which I will probably talk more about on a new post later.
I am blogging with my phone in the hotel room right now, and I don't know if there will be wifi at my aunts place where we'll stay for a few days...
I have taken some pictures with my iPhone, and since I don't have my other pictures on computer, that will be all there is to see for now. Take care!

more and more exhausted...

As far as i can remember, most of the tattooists i met and talked with always have been telling me to draw more when i was starting...

Now i just know why. it's because later, like 10 years later, like now, i don't feel like i have enough energy to draw for myself most of the time.

I take it as personal laziness, being too tired is never an excuse, and i kick my own ass at it every once in a while...

I am taking a little time off to relax, that will be good for me.
My clients have been so cool with me these days, it seems like i have nothing but nice projects with nice people, they stand good 3 hours sessions and tattoos are moving along pretty fast...


here are some news!
take care fellow readers/bloggers
