Sorry for the lack of updates.
I've been painting, breaking and building for the past 4 days, the space looks amazing to say the least.
My hands are cut, bruised and swollen but its never felt so fucking good.
I will do a proper update tomorrow, with photos and all...
Stay True

CUSTOM MADE...
Okay so I have started designing some custom made footswitches and clipcords to match.
These are really going to be the shit. So many ideas so little materials...
Scout, Hunt, Find!!
We plan to make these to sell through L.H.S, and we will be taking custom orders too as soon as we are in the new space, and the workshop is set up...
I am busy designing a footswitch and matching clipcord that I owe to David Chaston from Sins of Style, this is really going to be something, the tits, that he will be able to use for life, if it breaks I'll fix it but I strongly doubt that it will... brass, wood and silicone cord, made to last, longer than tits, and it will age better, in fact unlike tits these will be made to age well...
Here are a couple of custom made switches that I think are pretty amazing, Jimmy Whitlock from Lucky Supply make some really impressive stuff, in fact everything they make is pretty fucking awesome including clipcords and machines.
Here they are
These are made from old morse code apparatus, and where made by Nick Schreck

Couple of orders and some amazing tattoos
I packed a couple of orders this morning that left for Johannesburg. Stoked, rad people and rad shops, good to chat to the artists and hear what they are up to.
Some opening new shops in areas that need it and some local guys building machines, still in prototype phase, but its good to hear...
Read about Ryan Mason from Portland, Oregon today, dont know under what rock I've been hiding to only have found out about him today, he is amazing. he has only been tattooing for about roughly 6 years? dude has got some mad skill and by the looks and sound of his blog he seems like a decent guy.
Some of his work
I PROMISE MY NEXT POST WILL BE MORE SUPPLY ORIENTATED.

New space.
The last two weeks have been a bit of a roller-coaster. Crazy developments and rad progress, some hick-ups and some disappointments but overall more good than bad.
We have found some really cool premises that will be the new home to L.H.S.
We are fucking excited, its huge, well not huge but big enough for us, a little workshop to make and design some really cool custom made equipment, a showroom, a tattoo studio (in collaboration with some great artists from Johannesburg, more on that later), and a mini ramp, yes a MINI RAMP.
The space consists of a larger area of about 90m2, a smaller area of about 25m2 and bathrooms with 3 toilets (yes allot of shitting will go down) 2 showers just to clean off after that early morning surf and a 22m2 balcony for braaing, chilling and looking at beautiful table mountain, yes we have views and we are a stones throw away from the ocean too.
We will be hosting allot at this space and it will be cleaner than your local ER...
The space was used by some dude that did framing, he doesn't do framing any more, well definitely not from this space. ha
Below are some pictures, they might not look like much now, but we get the keys in the next week or so... we will transform it, paint its, polish it and sign it. you'll see what i mean if you have VISION. You will want to be there every day. your welcome. come skate, come get tattooed, come buy really good supplies if you are a tattoo artist, and ONLY if you are a tattoo artist, dont try your luck.

Site Launches
I am very happy to announce that the website has official launched.
It has been a tough 6months getting all our ducks in a row and getting everything to this point.
We have product available on the site but the shopping basket and prices are only available to logged-in clients, apply now for your user name and password.
We will be launching custom made footswitches, clipcords and power supplies within the next couple of months, made right here in South Africa with passion and the best quality materials all sourced locally.
Stay with us, bigger things to follow, bare with us, humble beginnings.
