Kathu Trip Report

Well it seems that things are nearing an end for the year. So it is time to tie up all the loose ends, dot the T's and cross the I's. So finding time for anything is nay impossible.

With our trip to Kathu done, and finally getting through all the road works. Here are the photos of the weekend.

When we arrived in Kathu we started off with Piet O, and his wife. This is the second phase of the angel. The next one should probably be the last. For now the progress is coming along quite well.

This is where I abandon hope and embrace despair, mainly since I have no idea whether this is right side up or the other way around. So let's hope this means what she says... I do like doing things different, and this is definitely such a case.

She contacted me for a meetup in Kathu, they both showed up, and both of them decided on a religious tattoo, fortunately this time I do know which way is up.

For her first tattoo she came around on the Gemsbok rally, and only had those four letter of her son's name, after she went through the horrible ordeal and surviving her painful tattoo, she decided to expand on it, this is the result.

It seems a crucifix always stays a classic design whether it is tribal, Celtic, Traditional or abstract.

It seems everyone involved with horses long enough and a love for tattoos eventually all get a horse for a tattoo.

She officially has more balls then the majority of men I have met, she sat for the outlining, details, colouring and shading in one sitting. She saw this design a while ago and waited almost 4 months to get it done.

This was NOT a full tattoo, this was originally just a few outlines that had some body added to it.

This is just the outlining of a Maori cross, after the next session it will probably have all the black and blue put in.

His homage to his sister's soon to be born young one. So here is hoping for the best.

Saturday and Sunday we crashed at Apples and Biance. Definitely two of the most social Mutts I ever encountered. All went well the entire trip except for all the roadworks and the worst possible service that SPUR Kathu has to offer!

Kathu Booking

We will be in Kathu, Friday the 18th and start off with tattoos the 19th. If you do not yet have a booking please contact me at inkhammer@gmail.com to confirm your booking. If you do it via email, I will have the stencil ready before hand greatly speeding up the process.

On a side note the past week or so I have been mainly busy with a few large cover ups, busy getting the new tattoos ready for upload etc. This will all be done by Wednesday.

Until the next upload, keep creative.

Postmasburg Trips Cancelled

Unfortunately I regret to inform you that the Postmasburg trip is cancelled, so if you had a tattoo at Postmasburg you will have to come to Kathu for any and all touch up works. This just makes more sense logistically. If you do have at least 5 people for new tattoos a trip can still be arranged directly to you.

So just let me know @ inkhammer@gmail.com to arrange all trips and make any appointments.

Busy editing will be uploading more pics soon.
