Evolution Pays it Forward
When I’m not working hard here, my writing duties include Tattooist Art features, odd freelance jobs and manning the Tattoo.TV news page with the lovely Alexa MacDermot. Yesterday I was super dis-organised and managed to write a news post Alexa had already covered- doh! I thought you guys might like to see it instead,, for … Read more

Tattoo.TV News Roundup!
I am so sorry I didn’t post this on Friday! I had some horrid technical difficulties, I only just managed to write Friday’s news piece before my computer decided to hate me. Technology, eh? As always, Tattoosday UK is not affiliated with Tattoo.TV in any way, this is just something I wrote for someone else … Read more
Tattoo.TV Roundup
It’s been two weeks since I posted up a Tattoo.TV roundup of the news- no real reason for it, I just like to space them out so you have a lot to come back to if you’re not a regular reader :) So in that case, here are two whole week’s worth of other things … Read more
Tattoo Jam: What Really Happened.

Tattoo.TV News Roundup!
It’s been another good week here at Tattoo.TV, though I did have to go two days without posting some news- sometimes, you just have to wait for things to happen instead of clutching at straws for mediocre “news”.

It won’t happen again, I’ve managed to fix the problem! Anyway, the UK Industry Awards has announced their winners, as I said- and it’s great news … Read more
Hey look, I’m famous… or something like that.
