Breda Convention

We will be attending this years Breda Tattoo Convention coming Saturday and Sunday.

Come on by and say hello!

Vikinger Fra Lala-land

Our good ol’ viking friends came by again last week.
Birdy was so much entertained by Mehdi’s work and what he had to say, that he took a nap on the spot.

That Jet-lag really gets you after those long two-hour flights…
Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of the work in-progress, some background got shaded and a couple million dragon scales got lined.

Florencio got to do a little filler moth on Morty’s throat.

And last but not least I have a picture for you guys, of Willem trying to lick a cock!

Death Untill Further Notice

Hi there,

You might remember us as that tattoo shop that used to post a picture every day and being very punctual with all that.
We’ll I’ve been slacking, busy much, and a transition to a new website/blog that didn’t all go as plannend.

We we’re back here at the starting line, gonna keep it simple and oldskool for now.

To make it up to you guys, I’ll post a picture every day, for the next couple of weeks, because we have certainly not been picking our noses over here.
We got lots of work done and lots more to show.

Here’s a black skull of the legend of red death moon triangle I finished up late last night.

Bunker Tattoo

Our friends at Envy Films dropped by a couple of weeks ago to make a little promotional trailer for the shop.
I’m not going to say much about it, I’d just recommend you watch it.

Brussels And More And Less Or More Or Less

Good news! And more good news! And better news! With some best news!

We’ll be attending this years Brussels Tattoo Convention.  Sorry for the short-term notice, but it’s this weekend already! So change all your plans, cancel all the appointments you had, and come by to say hi and hang out and get tattooed and have fun and laugh at Belgians and get us a beer while you’re at it!

In further news, some of you might have noticed the blog layout change multiple times this afternoon. That in fact my friends, did really happen, you are not suffering a neglected-blog-delirium. I’m looking to change the whole set up and look, to make the whole thing a little bit more user-friendly, clear and fit the new Bunker style.
Since we moved a couple of months ago, we decided to go for the whole make-over and get a new logo and what not goes with all that.
The blog is still not the way I want it, so expect that t change some more the next couple of days.

Last week we finally got our new sign, so people can now actually find us.

Further further more, we got new stickers!
That is all for today.
See you in Brussels!

To bad half of the guys where on vacation that week, only Roger working and you get to see a glimpse of Verena aswell and I was dodging the camera, I was having a bad beard day!

B.E.A.R.D.

Today is a huge day for awesome radical mankind. As for this day marks the official date that B.E.A.R.D. was founded.

The Bureau for Extremely Awesome Radical Dudes is an organization founded by Willem Jansen and Rudolf Maartens, charged with protecting the world from stuff.

It maintains the services of several supernatural persons, including Willem and myself. The B.E.A.R.D. originally appeared in Willem’s head this morning, but has also been featured never before.

B.E.A.R.D. intends on recruiting all of the worlds most extremely awesome radical dudes into the hugest awesomestest radical dudes organisation on the planet earth world.

If you think you have what it takes, go and add yourself to our organisation at B.E.A.R.D.
Do note! there are some strict admission requirements that you will have to meet, before we will fully accept you as a B.E.A.R.D. agent.

For once, you actually have be able to grow beard on your own without the help of any known artificial hair growing substances (sorry Roger, nothing personal).
Also, you will have to be extremely awesome and radical. (Note the name of the actual organisation.) And you will have to be a dude, so no women or animals allowed!
However we would consider extending memberships to dogs and really smart monkeys aswell.

Gargantuan Power Update!

Wrrrrrrrooooooaaaaaaaaarrrrr!!!

I am back, and I bring with me many a present! I was out on a little mental-vacation there, sorry for the inconvenience, I know how all of you have nothing better to do with your time than read my blog.

So today is a day worth remembering, as international ‘I got my life back’ day.

The time has come for me to please the gods of blog once again, by having my say here and showing you some naked pictures. Errrmmm… Did I just say ‘naked’ pictures? I meant tattoo pictures of course.

So how about kicking it off with a pretty picture of an aeronautical heart and a dead king?

Here are two pieces Mehdi has been working on.
 Mehdi only did the upper arm, the lower arm was done by someone else.
Lucy our cupcake baking super-dooper-trooper came to get her chest done with an oriental take on the classic smile now, cry later theatre masks.

While waiting for Mehdi to finish her drawing she baked some cupcakes for us in our new kitchen.

Good Food N Fun

Mehdi came back from his month-long sabbatical and decided to throw a little private party with a couple of his closest friends.
He also invited his friend Francois Geurds, who owns and runs a restaurant in Rotterdam, called Ivy, wich is a hi-end culinary restaurant with a Michelin star.

Mehdi got him to inaugurate our new kitchen, by cooking up some great tasting delicacies.

Here you see the master at work.

In exchange for the food Mehdi gave Francois his first tattoo.

Don’t worry, it istn’t a real tattoo, he just wanted to experience how it felt. But he’s gonna come back soon to get his first real tattoo.

All in all it was a great evening, with great people and great food.
Here is something you can try making yourself, but I bet it will never taste as good as the ones we had.

It’s tuna with avocado-peanutbutter.

Rainy Days

It’s summertime over here, and we are sitting inside with the fireplace on full blast.

It’s cold and rainy outside, wich means a really quiet day in the shop, half of the crew is still on vacation. So there is a really mellow, relaxed mood going on here. I love rainy days, so I don’t mind the sun not being here today.
