Black Friday.

If your American or shop online from American brands today is a day of sales/shopping etc for you (unless your an anti-consumerist, fuck multinationals type of guy/girl) So instead of looking at tattoos you should be buying stuff. Here's my picks for the day.

Conspiracy Zip-Up by Rebel8. Really nice stuff, all designed by Mike Giant.

Underway is the only way, is a book by Grime and Horitaka and features interviews and artwork from some of the top tattooers in the world. It's got 320 pages of cool shit in it. I recommend getting it through bookmistress.net and supporting a tattooer owned company, they've got loads of other great books on offer too.

Something to get you in the goodbooks with your Mrs from Bow and Crossbones?. The text can be customised to whatever you want.

 Corey Thompson Flash, 5 sheets for $50. This guys incredible and the price is a bargain.

J<3B Flash. Loads of cool stuff, one sheets $15 and 5 for $50.

Times of Grace by Jurgen Eckel of Conspiracy Inc. If you do neo-trad this book is an essential purchase. It's got flash, sketches and full on paintings in it.

Of course you can still pick up Swallows&Daggers Issue 1 and from mid next week we'll have the left over shirts from the Dublin Convention onsale via the webstore.
