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!!!

Greetings from our second home

Hello from Japan!
It's a bit of a rainy day today, and i have no plans, so i figured it was the perfect time to do some blogging.
Allan is tattooing, so maybe i'll post some tattoo pictures from Japan soon, but until then, i actually have some shop pictures to share.
I shot a film on our trip to Germany, and finished it in Copenhagen the day we left for Japan.
The Germany pictures are over here, if you're interested (there's a peek at the paintings as well), but i figured that at least some of the ones taken at the shop belonged on this blog!
All pictures were taken with my Canon AE-1, which is (in case you didn't know) the bestest and prettiest camera in the whole world. Yup, sure is.

Front room goodness

 Last client the day before leaving for Japan was our good buddy Christel, who's obviously a total badass

More Japan goodness soon... probably!

NAKOTA HEDRICK - GODOY MACHINES PROFESSIONAL

Nakota Hedrick started tattooing at age 18 in April 2008 out of Nashville, Tennessee. She moved to Souther California in 2010 to further her tattooing skills. She is now working out of Kari Barba's Outer Limits Tattoo in Orange, Ca. Nakota is heavily involved in oil painting. She has recently been traveling internationally guest spotting and working tattoo conventions.

Attention to detail in a comic book illustrator style yet capable of anything.

Highly focused work, intentionally deliberate results.

Ask Mr. Fingers. He knows, he couldn't have turned out better. He could have been turned out... whatever that means.

Look at the owl looking at you. He's got the key to your house... examine the wing texture, solid color, perfect color fades, clean line work.

IN THE SHORT TIME NAKOTA HAS BEEN TATTOOING, SHE HAS GOT EVERYTHING SHE NEEDS. SKILL, DEDICATION AND ETHICS. HOW MANY OF YOU CAN SAY THAT?

GODOY MACHINES - WE SAY WHAT WE WANT CUZ WE BELIEVE IN IT.

Sneak posting, shhhhh...

Happy Sunday y'all!
We're having an actual day off, so i shouldn't even be doing this (mmm, forbidden blogging), but i just wanted to let you know (in case you hadn't seen it already) that Allan has posted pictures from the exhibition on his blog!
Yes, so go check that out!

 Also, a tattoo by Uncle Allan, just because i care
