Tattooing, H.E.A.T., beer and the truth about Jönssonligan….

Today i had the pleasure of tattooing Mr. Erik Grönwall, who's a beer wizard in the daytime and one hell of a singer in my favorite band H.E.A.T, in the night time.
Erik is the mastermind behind a beer called "Hadiraja", that's being sold at System Bolaget here in sweden (that's the magical place where swedes go to get their booze).
Now, I'm not a beer drinker, in fact i don't drink alcohol at all… so it was kinda ironic that i had to do a beer tattoo… never the less, it turned out to be a great session with a lot of laughs and great music playing on the stereo :)
I love working to 80's music, especially hard rock and AOR…. so expect a lot of Journey, Toto, Danger Danger, Lou Gramm, FM, Dokken and Giant, if you are gonna get tattooed by me haha.

And just a little note to all of you who don't know this…
"Hidiraja" is a quote from a swedish movie series called "Jönssonligan"… now, apparently all swedish people have this idea that Jönssonligan was something they invented…
YOU ARE WRONG!!!!
The danish people invented "Olsen Banden" which is an epic piece of danish history…. and then we sold the the swedes the right to make their own versions, which of course is no where near as good as the danish ones! :D

….. Let the bashing begin! hahaha


Anyway, here's some pictures of todays action :)

Well… that was about it for now…. time for bed :)

Oh yeah… remember to come and say hi at Tattoo Meltdown convention in Trollhättan this weekend!

I'll be doing tattoos, showing my sexy poses and passing out high fives…. don't miss it!!!! 

Cheers!

Long time, no see!!!! Tattoos, Action figures and kanelbullar...

Wow, it's been ages since i used this blog… i don't know what happened, i just got caught up with so much stuff, that i kinda forgot about this thing.

What can i say… the past 6 months have been pretty busy with family, work and all the other stuff that i can't remember the half of :)

Im still enjoying living in Stockholm… i haven't regretted it on single time! so yeah, it was the absolutely right choice to move here.

Im still working at Porky Royale Tattoo and that's a thing i enjoy quite a lot… the guys here are awesome and we all get along so well.

I'll just post some pictures of some more recent work here:

A little Ace Frehley pinup :)

I finally got to do this piece :)

¨

What does the fox say? ;)

I got to finish this piece… i LOVE Star Wars

One of my Reptilian Shapeshifter designs :)

A very meaningful tattoo made to a client who lost his little daughter… a very tough session for me.

Black n Grey Firefighter action!!!!

A work in progress piece on my buddy Jona-T from the band H.E.A.T. 

He plays keyboard in the band and is a big fan of computer games, LucasArt, Discworld and other epic stuff…. so he's always got a ton of material for awesome tattoos :)

Some work in progress.

Some more geekstuff on Jona-T… i love making these kind of tattoos :)

Well, enough of tattoos for now…. 

I've always been a big fan (and a HUGE geek) of toys and recently i was introduced to the companies "Sideshow Collectibles" and "Hot Toys"…. these guys makes the most realistic looking figures i have ever seen and i have started collecting some of their stuff :) 

I'll just post a couple of my favorites:

If there is anyone out there who wanna trade some Sideshow or Hot Toys stuff, let me know :)

But I'm only interested in sixth scale figures.

Well,  as mentioned before, it's been around 6 months since i wrote anything…. and there has just been too much stuff going on for me to write… so instead I'm gonna treat this as a fresh start… a reboot of my blog :)

I will do my best to keep this thing updated with my projects, designs, crazy thoughts, reviews and other ridiculous stuff…. so stay tuned!

Oh yeah… i think this kanelbulla looks pretty tasty… thought i'd share it with you guys…

May the force be with you! :D

Porky, Rhino's & Yngwie Malmsteen...

So i just found the time to make a quick update...

I just reposted a few designs i have lying around, that i wanna tattoo.
So if you should get the urge for a nice custom tattoo, feel free to contact me or Porky Royale Tattoo for bookings :)

Yesterday, after i finished my last customer, i just doodled this little thing... yeah a Swedish Rhino :D

I also got to sketch up a Yngwie Malmsteen design haha... that guy is absolutely brilliant.
Yngwie is by far one of the greatest guitarists ever.... and he's also a hell of a character :)

So here you have it... The King of sweden, The Master of the universe, the one and only... Yngwie J. Malmsteen!!!!!!

Live long and prosper!!!!

Cheers

Copenhagen, Monkeys, 8-bit... & Dokken :)

Once again, it's been quite a while since i updated my blog...  But man, it's been hard to find the time to sit down and fiddle with my computer...

Things have been going great at Porky Royale... those guys are just awesome.

I feel so privileged to be  a part of that team.

They all make me feel very welcome at the shop, so everyday im looking forward to a new day at Porky's. :)

Im still so happy about moving to Stockholm.... i havn't had a single regret about moving here.

everything has so far gone beyond all expectations!

There's still alot of practical stuff that needs to be taken care of (personal numbers, bank stuff etc.) but im more less getting there now.

So i just got home from a week in Copenhagen... i was back at Stigma to work on a bunch of my danish customers.

I was booked up like crazy and i got to do some awesome projects.

(I got to contine on this 8-bit sleeve... so it's a work in progress)

(I shall call him Curious Killer George)

(Another game-related project, work in progress)

(A cool Amazone-theme halfsleeve i got to start)

Being back in CPH was a mixed feeling... i mean, it was great to see family, friends and customers...

but i didn't feel like i was enjoying being back in my hometown...

In alot of ways, that was nice because it just confirmed that i made the right decision about moving away. 

Maybe it was because i was in total "work-mode"... i barely did anything else than work and sleep haha.

The worst thing was that i missed my wife and son like crazy, so it's good to know that they will join me on my next visit to CPH in August, which also will include a vacation to Hungary :)

Today i had a great day with my little family... we spent the day in the sun ( except for the 3 hour nap i took with my son haha) and i got to buy a couple of excellent vinyls for my collection.

Tomorrow i'll be back at Porky Royale and i'll be taking walk-in's all week... so feel free to drop by and get yourself a epic tattoo :)

Cheers!

This is such a great place with the nicest people and a great atmosphere.

Also, the guys working here are amazing tattooers... so I will be learning a lot from looking over their shoulders.
