Both of us have been working crazy hard in recent history - so we had kept this past weekend sacred - no band gigs, no tattoos, no nothing (which wasn't easy cos everyone seemed to want us to do something that weekend) - and we took off to the Highlands camping.Which in itself is pretty amazing - cos camping isn't something we generally (for that read ever)do - the only time we've put the tent up previously was the one time we didn't stay in a hotel when Paul played the Americana Festival.
This camping trip was dreamed up when we were in Japan in April - we were standing looking out over Lake Chuzenji and talking about how beautiful Scotland is and how we should really make more of an effort to get out and see our own country... ...so we are! And we're not bad 'campers' (!) either, we've discovered.

It did us the power of good just to stop for those 3 days - I'm now back tattooing away again.
Today I drew the background for a Japanese chest piece - it's the last section of a half bodysuit I've been working on over the last year or so - the main features of which are koi and sakura - definitely some cool pics of that to come. Then I traced a leg for a huge coverup featuring more koi and sakura in shades of blue - very Art Deco and stylised for that one.
This afternoon I started the daisy legpiece with Art Deco writing - a photo of that one after the next (final) session.
