I have Tattoo Artist Magazines available! R180 each as from today! issue #6 to #24 get them!!!

Here is a post I wrote for Tattoo Artist Magazine's Blog, read it!!!

NEW STUFF

Got some new stuff in! get on it!! I apologizes for being quite over the last 3 weeks. Back on top of things!

Grenade Grip Covers

GRENADES! Top quality grip covers
Grenades! made by tattooers, use an ergonomic "barrel" shape to reduce hand fatigue during both lining and shading. The comfortable shape and non-slip material make for superior control.
GRENADES! fit from 5/8 up to 1'½ in. grips, eliminating size specific ordering. One size fits all!

Knurled Red Rat Grip Covers

Red Rat grip covers are hand made using a high-quality, non-porous, autoclavable rubber. Their 1/4" thickness creates a soft cushion between your fingers and equipment and will effectively absorb machine vibrations helping reduce the strain on your hand muscles and nerves.

Black and Pink Rubber bands

Sold in packs of 100's or 1000's by weight

Thick Black Rubber Bands

Sold in 100's by weight

Seth Ciferri Once Off / Jim Rosal

After saving up some cash especially for this and trying numerous times to snatch up one of Seth Ciferri's Once Off customs, which I seem to miss out on every time. I decided to order one off the website, unfortunately Seth didn't have the frame I was looking for so i was a bit bummed out... Only to be lucky enough to get this little dude!

Seth Ciferri build with Jim Rosal goods!

"ultralight one-off liner, cobbled together with some goodies from Jim Rosal"

1st off, the website is getting a little make over, some little details and rad stuff to spice up the ease of things, new and limited product with the purpose of simplifying your needs and taking away all the unnecessary bullshit... the best of the best, everything that you can bank on... and a bonus I will be listing medical suppliers where you can find the best medical supplies for the best prices in each city in South Africa.

LHS has been slightly restructured, nothing too hectic, just a little "delete" here and a "add" there!

Adam Ciferri Bulldogs are in, 6 only.

The green reminded me of the Cape's grapes so went in hunt for a vineyard, not that there is a lack of that around these parts.

**Enjoy at room temperature, really smooth pallet with a original old-school aftertaste and it packs a decent punch.
