London Tattoo Convention

This year we took the whole Fearless Tattoo crew to the London Tattoo Convention.
I bought these really cool machines from Tim Hendricks.
The first on is a Hoot-Rat Machine build by Tim and engraved by Dan Dringenberg, it’s a beautiful machine.
The second one is a Split-Frame called the Russel that Tim Build.
He was inspired by his good friend Russel, going for that ‘murdered out’ look that a lot of custom bikes have.

I also got tattooed again by Boog at the convention.
The London Tattoo Convention is always great.

Andy Tielman 1936 – 2011

On November 11th my good friend Andy Tielman passed away after his long battle with cancer.

Andy was the Godfather of rock ‘n Roll, he brought Rock ‘n Roll to Holland back in the early fifties together with his brothers “the Tielman Brothers”

I had the honor of playing some liveshows with Andy and I also recorded a song with him called “Where are you now”

Andy’s wife (Carmen Tielman) asked me to play that song on his funeral, it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,…

Andy I miss you,…

Tim Hendricks

Today a package arrived from Tim Hendricks with his new Pin-Up Sketchook, Needles, Pen Holder and a new spring so I can fix my Hood-Rat Machine.

Tim really stands behind his products so when the spring of my machine broke he send me a new one.
Tim is also one of my favorite tattoo artists, hope to get tattooed by him someday.
Check out his products, art and tattoo’s on his website:

the Arc

In the last months I’ve been working in the studio on the Arc with one of my best friends Noah Smits.
It’s a really cool and fun project with real musicians making real music.
It’s also featuring a lot of artists you already know.


The next step is rehearsals with the live band, can’t wait!

New Machine

Last week my Workhorse Rotary Machine arrived from the States.

It’s a really light machine, only weighs about 3.5 oz!
This machine really works well for me, I love it!

Guitar


I was playing guitar last night till early in the morning after a long day in the tattoo shop.
I really miss music, wish there was enough time in a day to combine the shop, tattooing and music,.. then life would be perfect!
