Cohen - Productive Monday

A couple of pieces that I worked on yesterday.  Outlined a 3/4 sleeve, Adam's first tattoo ... he took it like a champ.  And then a bit of a different twist on a landscape piece, I'm pretty damn happy with the results.  Thanks Elizabeth.

The Legend of the Nine Warrior Koi Fish (2)

"The legend records that on the third moon of each year, the Koi that had successfully made the journey to Dragons Gate, had their heads burned off by lightning as they leaped over the rapids, the Kois head was replaced by that of a dragon’s and then their bodies took the full form of the mighty Dragon."

The nine warrior Koi listened to stories of the elders, their emotions were a mixture of fear and excitement, the passion for their collective ambition led them to one day make the trip to the Dragon Gate. The names of the nine were Koi Akihito, Naruhito, Noryuki, Jakehiro, Michiko, Eko, Etsuko, Juri and Ikumi and there were 5 girls and 4 boys, equal in strength, determination and intelligence, but of very different character. Each had its own distinctive koi brand that allowed the princess to give the name of each.

Akihito, was a male Koi and probably the most dominant of the warriors
Naruhito, was a male Koi very sympathetic in nature but strong minded nonetheless
Noryuki, was a male Koi, the wildest of the bunch
Jakehiro, was a male Koi, the maverick
Michiko, was a female Koi, very wise with great leadership instinct
Eko, was a female Koi, independent in every way even with an injured tail fin
Etsuko, also a female Koi, the youngest and most energetic of the warriors
Juri, a female Koi and the oldest warrior, the great councillor
Ikumi, probably the prettiest of the Koi, beware this warriors beauty !

HANA TEK - GODOY MACHINES PROFESSIONAL

Hana Tek is a great tattoo artist traveling between the USA and Australia these days. The flawless lines and the custom drawn art put her ahead of most. She has a natural ability that we saw in her years before she started tattooing.

"I'm 27 years old and I've tattooed all over the world. I love everything about this job and you'll find me in the shop day and night. I will tattoo in any style, there are no limitations, and I pride my self on dynamic line work and never compromising on perfection or aesthetic - big beautiful saturated colour and lots of illustrative detail. I hate mediocrity. I hate complacency. I love Punk & I like painting glam rock lightening bolts on my face. I push boundaries. It's always a good time in my chair, even when I'm tattooing your ribs. The Godoys have helped me from day one throughout my career and I love using their machines because they reflect everything thats important to me and in tattooing. I make my own needles, my machines are tuned to perfection, and quality is NEVER a question. I know what I'm doing and I wanna do it to you. At the end of April you'll find me at Rites of Passage Convention in Melbourne, where I'm currently nominated in Australia's First Tattoo Industry Awards as Best Female Artist. Help me win it by voting online at the link below!"

UPDATE: APRIL 14TH, 2012

SUPPORTING CREATIVITY, EDUCATION & INNOVATION WILL RAISE THE STANDARD IN OUR INDUSTRY.

MAKING VIOLENT THREATS (LIKE CUTTING OFF HANDS) "GOTTA LINE ON THAT CHUMP? HIT MY MATH DAN, THE CAT'S GOT A BEAT DOWN COMING CALI STYLE SERIOUS GEE BEAT DOWN ON MOMS", - THIS TYPE OF LANGUAGE AND ATTITUDE WILL NEVER PUT ANYONE ON THE SAME PAGE. RESORTING TO THIS TYPE OF VIOLENT ATTITUDE BECAUSE YOU FEEL THREATENED AND INSECURE IS INEXCUSABLE. BRING SOMETHING NEW TO THE TABLE THAT WE CAN COLLECTIVELY ALL BENEFIT FROM.

MAKING COMMENTS ABOUT THINGS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, COMPARING AESTHETICS INSTEAD OF FUNCTION, MISLEADING SEMINARS WITH SUBSTANDARD INFORMATION - STORIES INSTEAD OF SCIENCE... PERPETUATING SUPERSTITION AND MYTH. THIS IS WHAT GUIDES THE INDUSTRY IN AN UNFOCUSED DIRECTION LED BY EGO AND INSECURITY. FOR SOME SUCCESS = DOLLARS.

ALL THESE THINGS ARE WHAT KEEPS ARTISTS DOWN.

UNDERSTAND HOW MACHINE FUNCTION AND TECHNIQUE GO HAND IN HAND.

KNOW THE QUALITIES A MACHINE NEEDS TO HAVE TO WORK AT IT'S OPTIMUM!

THIS IS THE KNOWLEDGE PROFESSIONALS DESERVE TO HAVE. IT WILL :

- INCREASE LEGITIMACY

- PROMOTE CREATIVITY

- INCREASE RESPECT AMONG ARTISTS

- IMPROVE ARTISTIC GOALS

- PRESERVE ETHICS IN OUR INDUSTRY

- SATISFY CLIENTS

IT WILL WEED OUT SUPPLIES AND SUPPLIERS WHO SELL JUNK AND BOGUS INFORMATION. IF YOU DON'T BUY THEY CAN'T SUPPLY.

GODOY MACHINES - SUCCESS = A PROFESSIONAL INDUSTRY.

LETTER TO DAN DRINGENBERG - PLEASE READ.

DAN DRINGENBERG,

IN RESPONSE TO THE UNPROFESSIONAL INSTAGRAM POSTS WHICH YOU STARTED.

IT IS GREAT TO SEE THAT YOU NEED AN ARMY TO MAKE YOU FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT AND TO FIGHT YOUR FIGHTS FOR YOU. WE ARE NOT HARD TO FIND IF YOU HAD AN ISSUE. YOU STARTED ALL OF THIS BECAUSE YOU FEEL THREATENED. YOU DECIDED TO SAY "GODOYS DONT KNOW SHIT..." WHICH IS SO FAR FROM THE TRUTH! BECAUSE OF YOUR MOUTH, OUR BUSINESS HAS DOUBLED - CLIENTS HAVE STATED THAT THEY WOULD RATHER BUY FROM PROFESSIONALS. WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. NOBODY WANTS TO BUY FROM SOME ONE WITH SO MUCH INSECURITY THAT YOU HAVE TO TRY TO DIVIDE THE INDUSTRY. TO TRY AND PUT A WEDGE BETWEEN THE ARTISTS AND REAL ADVANCEMENT AND INNOVATION. TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER BECAUSE ARTISTS ARE WAKING UP. THEY HAVE NO NEED FOR POLITICS, THEY ARE DONE WITH SUPERSTITION AND MYTH, DONE WITH SEMINARS THAT DO NOT TEACH - ONLY STORIES ABOUT PAUL ROGERS... SEMINARS WHO'S PLOY IS TO HAVE ARTISTS BUY THEIR PRODUCTS.... LET US REMIND YOU THAT INTERNET CRIME CAN BE PROSECUTED... THREATS TO BREAK HANDS AND SO FORTH - AND YOU COULD BE HELD LIABLE AS WELL, OUR ATTORNEYS ARE LOOKING INTO THIS - MAY THINK ABOUT EDITING YOUR COMMENTS. THIS INDUSTRY IS STARTING TO PURIFY ITSELF AND THEY ARE SEEING THAT THERE IS NO NEED FOR 'CLIQUES' AND DIVISION. THERE IS HOWEVER A NEED TO RAISE THE STANDARD AND THAT IS WHAT WE BELIEVE IN AND SO DO THE 900,000 ARTISTS GLOBALLY WHO HAVE READ OUR BOOK - AN THAT'S JUST THE ENGLISH VERSION! (LAST COUNT IN 2008). IT'S AMAZING HOW CREDIBILITY IN THIS INDUSTRY IS EASY TO GET FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CREDENTIALS... IF YOU WANNA LIST CONTRIBUTIONS, IF YOU WANNA LIST ACHIEVEMENTS, IF YOU WANNA COUNT YEARS TATTOOING, AND ARTISTIC ABILITY - (HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OF YOUR WORK ONLINE, CAN'T EVEN FIND IT.) IF YOU WANNA COUNT BOOK SALES AND SEMINAR ATTENDEES... LET'S DO IT. WE HAVE CREDIBILITY THAT CAN BE CROSS REFERENCED OVER AND OVER FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS! NOT TO MENTION 3 INTERNATIONAL PATENTS, A THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF MAGNETIC FIELD AND EVERY INGREDIENT IN EVERY COMPONENT. YOU HAVE NEVER MET US, YOU HAVE NEVER HAD ANY REASON TO SAY "GODOYS DONT KNOW SHIT".. AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, YOUR FRAMELESS MACHINE IS INFRINGING ON OUR ELECTROMAGNETIC SUPPORT COIL - (PATENT PENDING) - LOOK IT UP BEFORE WE TAKE ACTION.

DUE TO YOUR LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM, YOUR BUSINESS WILL DROP AS THE TATTOO WORLD BECOMES MORE AND MORE EDUCATED AND AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS IN THIS INDUSTRY. THE DIVISION, THE SUPERSTITION, THE MYTHS, THE PHONEY CREDENTIALS, AND SO ON... WE ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION AND SO ARE THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS GLOBALLY WHO ARE ON THE SAME PAGE. YOUR ATTITUDE AND VALUES ARE OBSOLETE AND FALL SHORT IN AN INDUSTRY THAT NEEDS DIRECTION AND A COLLECTIVE MINDSET TO IMPROVE OUR STANDARD AND TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST MEDDLERS IN OUR INDUSTRY, PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIR HANDS IN A PIE THAT THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE TOUCHED.

GODOY MACHINES - SUPPORTING THE ART, SUPPORTING INDIVIDUALITY, PROMOTING EDUCATION AND RAISING THE BAR THROUGH COMMON GOALS.

MARC 'LITTLE SWASTIKA" RIEDMAN - GODOY MACHINES PROFESSIONAL

We stumble across Marc Riedman some time ago. The work is impressive as hell. The Heaviness and solidness of it, requires a machine that can handle large needle groupings to do this solid color as wall as large areas of smooth even greys.

"He. Im little swastika, 26 years old living in a small village in south germany. Im into tatuing since I 14 and tatuing was always a part of rebellion and fuck our society for me. A part of skateboarding maybe….

I opend the swastika freakshop 6 years ago and closed it 2 years ago as reaction of whats going on with the tattoo society – I didn’t want be part of how the spirit of tatooing gets killed by fashion and mainstream. That’s why the logical step was to close my shop and go back again….I never regret this step in my life and now i working secretly in a small privat gallery and just conzentrade in big abstract work.

Im a fucking skate rat since I can think. I love to skate concrete, bowls and pools. I love to build skatestuff my self and create soemting to destroy…

Freedom in my brain that’s what skateboarding its for me. Same like art…

When you want read more about me just check my bio on my webside and see my work there. Little-swastika.com

A note from Little Swastika -

"I did not have to rebuild the maschines, I just chanced some small stuff to get the maximum power and fucking shit this maschines are monsters. They don’t care if I use a small 15 magnum or 39 magnum and I can fill black faster than ever. So now I will work only with Godoy Maschines for the rest of my life! Just must let you know how I'm fascinated and now I can start tattooing much faster than ever he he!! Thank you friends marc

Smith grind in SOCKS!! IN HIS OWN BASEMEN BOWL!!! FUCK YES.. NOW - GET READY TO SEE SOME UNIQUE, INDIVIDUAL AND INSANE WORK!!! THANKS MARC FOR BEING PART OF THE SOLUTION!!!
