Mehdi started this here sleeve on Benjamin, whom came all the way from france just to get it done by Mehdi.
Really cool guy, and a trooper he sat two days straight to get as much done as possible and didn’t complain a bit.
This picture was taken after the first day session, only the lines got done, second day a lot of shading and some additional lining got done.
He’ll be back soon to get it finished up, so I’ll keep you guys posted.
Roger and Willem are Mastodon fanboys!
Gha gha ghaaa ghaa
Got a little mix of doodles that the guys here at the Bunker made over the last couple of weeks.
Yet another owl by Willem.
Looks like owls are going to be the new thing in 2012. Wolves and koi fish are sooo 2011.
Mehdi finally got to finishing the feng huang sleeve, a lot of color and detail went into this one.
Kraken lady with skull and roses on the lower leg by Roger.
Florencio finished up this Mary and angel sleeve a couple of days ago.
Last but not least, I got two little script pieces by Willem.
Got to love what the later one says.
Pow pow pow!
First post of 2012, 300th post total!
Happy New Year everybody!
I got a couple of picturas por mi trusty readers.
First off, a chest by Mehdi, wich is actually finished already. I can’t find the finished picture, so you’ll have to do with this one for now.
However, Mehdi did post it on his Twitter, maybe you can find on there, while you’re at it, follow the boss man.

I only have a little Phoenix by Florencio.
He actually finally got a smart phone, so he’s figuring that out and posting more images on his facebook, with a lot of in progress work you won’t see here on the blog, so go and befriend him aswell.

Willem decided to extend his urban-zoo animal collection with a Pigeon and a Trout.
Roger finished a samurai tiger.
Bet you didn’t know tigers can be samurai!
Owls are a group of birds that belong to the order Strigiformes. Most are solitary and nocturnal. Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects, and other birds, although a few species specialize in hunting fish.
Unlike folklore has it, owls aren’t very smart. There are no known records of any owls having college degrees. Let alone attending college in the first place.
Other interesting facts about owls:
- Unlike their color would suggest, owls do not taste like chocolate.
- It’s a well-known fact that owls do not pay taxes.
- In ancient folklore owls are viewed as harbingers of bad luck, ill-health, or death. The biggest thing I´ve seen an owl bring is a large-sized rat.

The goldfish is a freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. It was one of the earliest fish to be domesticated, and is one of the most commonly kept aquarium fish.
Unlike folklore has it, goldfish do not have a memory-span of only two seconds but have a memory-span of at least three months and can distinguish between different shapes, colors and sounds. They also tend to be great subjects for tattoos.
Other interesting facts about goldfish:
- Unlike their color would suggest, goldfish do not taste like carrots.
- Unlike their name suggest, they are not made of real gold.
- It’s a well-known fact that goldfish do not pay for sex.
- If goldfish would happen to have legs instead of fins and lungs instead of gills, they probably would not have been refered to as fish.
- It is thought that goldfish have no concept of time, since there are no known records of goldfish wearing watches.
I got this message from Mehdi today, of a conversation between him and Roger which really made me laugh.
Mehdi: You ride with the Dark horse ?
Roger: Yesss Ow mighty horse rider with the caravan of black Magic and eternal wisdom to exceed in the aftermath at the afterparty of the afterlife.
Roger: I is, as we speake, kamming my hairs.
Mehdi: Kom er aan
Roger: Can I take the (from kraait) black car to the place where endless stories are being told by monke in bikini?
Mehdi: Come they fly with black crow crane, to pages of the dark book story telling!
Roger: Let’s ride west toward the dying sun en breath the ray’s of glory in the evening darkness of holy (shit) soulscattering death blood kill chopped roof coffin slow mortfaces of evil
Mehdi: Yeaaa!!
Mehdi: In the land of far, were the hound’s of blood and hellfire with breath of endless death poison, there we will go and fight for our victory for eternal wisdom and love ( and sex with all the angels from heaven and hell and beyond)!!!
Long story short, turned out, Mehdi only wanted to know if Roger needed a lift to the shop.
I had this really cool quote I wanted to start this post off with, but I can’t remember what it was.
So I’ll start off with a completely random quote.
“If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.’ -Clint Eastwood
Now we got that out-of-the-way, it’s time for the picture section of this intellectual post.
I had this picture in line to get posted for a while, but before I could get to it Mehdi had already done the next session on it, so you get two for the price of one! Now, how’s that for a deal!?
Still not completely finished, the japanese skyscraper in the back there needs a couple of layers of exterior paint.
Furthermore we had some leprechauns over all the way from Ireland.
It was off-season in rainbow-country so Gillian and her friends got a chance to leave the pot of gold unguarded and hop on over the big pond, to get Gillian’s sleeve started by Mehdi.
Ironic that she works for Disney aswell…. ( get it? being a leprechaun and all…)
Gillian! If you read this, someone hacked into the bunker blog and wrote all of this! I’m innocent! And I hope you don’t hurt me the next time you come over. Thanks for your understanding.
Sincerely,
-Andy McCockinson
A stupid little girl once said that skulls are overrated in tattoos.
Whereafter a very wise man replied: ‘There’s nothing more awesome than skulls and snakes. Full Stop!’
Roger wants everybody to know that he loves Donal Duck and he finished this chestpiece a couple of days ago. Half fresh, half healed so the contrasts are a bit messed up now, but you get the idea.
